Almost porous is about right.  I think it would take a lot of buffing, and I dig it as-is.

Looks just like the one I had.

Im guessing there's no grain filler on them. 

(Traded mine for a silverface Champ and 500 bucks. Quite the deal considering I paid 300 for the SG)

Probably not.  Mine has a few nicks from not carefully pulling it out of the case.  It's a pretty soft finish.

That's a great deal for that Champ!  I think I got mine (2008 SG Special Faded) for $500.  I loved my 77 Champ, but I was using the 76 Princeton Reverb more.  Then, I realized that my 73 Deluxe Reverb was way better than the PR.  And since there was no larger BF/SF amp, the DR is my #1.

Not at that time.  Sold the 72 Vibrolux Reverb years ago.  Sold the Bassman 100 (my first real amp; got it for $100) and 1967 Bandmaster too.  Hell, there was a Bassman Ten in there too.  Super Reverb it is not.  The 73 DR was the one.  Everything else is tweed (a more recent obsession).

I had one of those no wood filler SG specials. It was silver. I guess they’re from 2001-2003 or so.

Was just like this one:

Speaking of that Bassman 100, what a cool first amp.  You could get it into Bassman 50 sounding territory by bridging the channels, turning everything up to 10, and running the master volume around 3.  Got it along with a 4x12 Sunn speaker box with four old Eminence square magnet speakers.

Predictably, musiciansfriend is having a Stupid Deal of the HOUR today. They don't show all the expired deals any more, so it requires regular checking if you're in a bargain buying mood.

. . . currently some shitty microphone ($68 -> $28)

Yes, typically they put a lot of crap out there, then sneak in something good at some random hour. 

I want a Twin for a desktop amp.

I have like $64 worth of MF points I want to burn before they yank them away.

We’re gonna need a bigger desk.

My Vox AC15 is pretty much my coffee table. At least I'm getting some kind of use out of it.

Just did a couple of quick passes on my other 59.

This is a worthwhile video I think. I'm pretty decent at setting up guitars and I learned some tricks.

Big improvement, and I think I called that burst a blowjob tan but to be clear it looks great

Haha. I stumbled across this on YouTube just before seeing your post. 

(That's the shop that bought my Gibson 60s Standard.)

Thank you. I enjoyed that.

I like that the poly finish is thin on these. Most Epiphones seem to have it glooped on. Once a few layer of carnauba wax are put on them, they look great. It's not nitro, but the effect is close in terms of the look.

I never saw this before, looks like it’s from 7 years back. I’ve been a fan of Taylor’s since she first came out but this is fairly respectable rhythm playing and I didn’t know she had that skill

Ben's a nice guy, very patient with me when I was buying my PRS from Righteous Guitars. I didn't realize he had moved on. I'll have to check out Big House.

She has a lot going for her.  I love her lower register, and she can jump a couple of octaves.  She's learned how to sing. I think her songwriting follows a pretty consistent formula, but that's not uncommon even for the greats.  She has "it".

That is fantastic. Strumming an electric and singing seems really difficult to me. It's one of the things that stands out about Lera Lynn:

100% respect. Incredible how she's connected with a generation. My daughter got me a t shirt from the tour last month and I plan to catch the film next month.

It is really cool.  They are doing a great job there are are super nice.  Plus, you can go right down the street to Taqueria del Sol afterwards.  I was bummed when Showcase Photo closed but swapping that for a kickass music store was a win.

I didn't know she split off from that dude who used to play with her.  Saw her open for someone a few years ago and really liked her.  

Aged White moto'd the back door . . . came with a mint and this one.

New pickups coming for the Squier 40th Anniversary Telecaster. Had some credit with Sweetwater. Ordered the Seymour Duncan Vintage 54 pups. One of the best sounding neck pups I've heard from all the demos and a bright, twangy bridge pup, because everyone needs a really twangy Tele.

Oh, and I ordered a 4-way switch.

WTF is she playing? 

I'm a fender guy, but I have no idea what that is.  It looks cool though.

New project.

When i was in my temporary living situation, there was an old Squire Strat in my swsignated storage space. In the time I lived there, the whole building rotated through, so I figured it was mine when I left - you never know when somebody is gonna need a decent, cheap guitar.

That bell has been rung, and the need is for it to be left handed. The serial number says it's from 2005 from a quick look. Filthy as hell. 1st step was to plug it in, and it sounded incredible. That'll be the last time I'm able to play it since it'll be a lefty the next time strings on it. I'm curious if I'll be able to do a decent t setup on a left.

The before shots. Note that I'll need to change the saddle screws from the E & A with the B & E - much shorter. Glad I caught that already. Thinking about adding a detail with a can of Krylon?20230827_164834.thumb.jpg.aa4a37a1e5b7d196e977152c4db80cdc.jpg20230827_164838.thumb.jpg.acd0a9bd0d3f30c296ff68ff88fa2042.jpg20230827_164847.thumb.jpg.3e2466ecab221f6f2722929beabdf2b4.jpg20230827_164906.thumb.jpg.3df6d490fe5bfbedaf8372e88897f3e5.jpg20230827_165702.thumb.jpg.d256b384f40cd3af420894cc9e29603b.jpg20230827_165716.thumb.jpg.ec38093b3f3aafb964f3bad705fbf6e9.jpg20230827_165719.thumb.jpg.33376ef3fec017234bf03fe88b96cd0f.jpg20230827_165909.thumb.jpg.6d817a1496f540bf2f4921752fd1cacc.jpg


This cleaned up nice. Thought I could just reverse the nut, but I had to replace it. Gonna give it the guy here shortly.
