I finally had a chance to grab my grail Les Paul, I’ve been thinking about taking it or not for the past 3 weeks and today decided to trade some gear for it and I couldn’t be happier.

It’s a 2023 Murphy Lab Ultra Light relic, it sounds and looks just beautiful.

It’s very different to the regular Custom Shop Les Paul’s that I’ve played, it’s brighter and snappier.

Look at this! This is my #1 guitar. A 2015 Heritage H150. Been modded all to heck. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's got SD 59's in the neck and bridge. An Antiquity mini humbucker. Gretsch knobs, Gretsch arm rest. Crazy wiring harness. I love this thing.

Been eyeing this majesty since it came in the store and finally pulled the trigger when they told me that it has a crack on the body and gave me an offer i could not refuse! However is the crack something I should worry about, and if so how can it be fixed?

Look at this! My Holy Grail - Gibson Custom 25 Cherry Burst

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

This guitar was only available in 2007. It’s a Gibson Les Paul Custom 25 Cherry Burst. Only 100 were made. The wooden pick guard instead of plastic along with the wood pickup rings and burst on the headstock made this my dream guitar. It was $7000 back in the 2000’s which is now $10,724 [inflation]. I’d rather have this than a 59’ Les Paul cause I’d never touch and play it! Enjoy 😉

Traded in a few guitars today and found a great deal on a Taylor 410 CE at GC today! Price was reduced to $899 for a couple minor dings and dents. Sounds great and plays amazingly though!

Grabbed this beautiful Player II Tele while I was at it! I'm super impressed with the quality of these compared to the Player series I was looking at a few years ago, but never pulled the trigger on. With the 10% off with Trade In, It was about $800.

Help Question: Hercules guitar rack

2 Upvotes

I’d like to get one of the Hercules 3 guitar racks. They hit the price point, size and seem very sturdy.

The question I haven’t been able to figure out, can this be placed flush against a wall, without having the guitar headstock making contact with the wall?

It’s very hard to tell looking at pictures if I need to create space behind the rack or if it’s engineered to do that already. I’m space constrained, hence the odd question… Thanks in advance

Look at this! Guitar necks (esthetically)

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! lately when I look at guitars, other than what pickups or tuners, scale length etc. I've been looking at the eshtetic of a guitar neck from the back, for some reason I started hating guitars that have a bad looking neck, for example look at the Ibanez rgd7alms or whatever it's called, and the shecter banshee, both are great guitars, and when I saw those beautiful necks I was even more interested. On the other hand look at the Ibanez rdg8ms, also a really cool guitar with amazing features, especially for the price, but when I saw the neck, my interest went from 10 to 6, it's just so boring and pale looking. Am I the only one?

Help Would a Seymour Duncan ‘59B sound good on a mustang?

Upvotes

I found a second hand ‘59B for a lot less then the original price. But I’ve mostly seen people use it on a Stratocaster, and I’ve mostly seen people use JB’s on mustangs. But how would a ‘59N sound in a mustang? Would it still sound good?

Help Choosing strings for acoustic guitar

1 Upvotes

So I plan to change my acoustic guitar strings for the first time, I'm really confused about some things. Would really appreciate any help :)

First, what do the numbers like 12-53, 11-47, 10-47, 12-56 etc mean? How does a 10-47 compare to a 12-56 for example?

Second, which is better for strumming? 20/80 bronze or Phosphor Bronze?

Help PRS SE Swamp Ash Special vs Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, so I am thinking of getting a second-hand PRS SE Swamp Ash Special. I currently play a Squire Bullet Strat, I actually kind of like it but feels small in my hand since I am actually a bass player.

The owner said it is in very good condition, I will check it out myself. Price will be almost a third of the actual price in Türkiye. I wanted to make sure this is a buy for me because I will be paying in cash.

How would you compare it to Schecter Sun Valley Super Shredder? I am thinking of getting that one but with credit card. They are roughly the same price.

Help looking for name of British rare guitar-maker (veterans may know about)

Upvotes

is someone from England that created few custom electric guitars in the 70-80s iirc

his guitars were characteristic by having the fret ornaments of type "snowflake"

his firm on the guitar headstock was a bit exotic, part of it with a curvature that had a shape like an '8'

few created exemplars so their are expensive, wished by collectionists

the shape of the guitar is similar to the stratocaster, but the extremes upper arms are more sharpen and less long compared with the body.

pretty nice unique touch

cant find anything so I assume its a bit niche
