i just finished rewiring my fake chinese gibson with a circuit board with the electronics pre-done, just had to attach a couple wires. at this point my fake gibson is twice as cool looking and plays identically to my real les paul.

I got into playing Bluegrass about 2005. Haven't played much last 10 years, but picked up the old guitar about a month ago and somehow after a few minutes i was playing Wildwood Flower - it was my favorite, but still surprised myself. Dabbling again.

Strings in the gut while you're playing?

No thanks! What kind of commie came up with that?

"I did a bad bad thing..."



maple wood binding:

Very nice guitar Herb!

Thanks, Perple.

I'm very happy with it.

But I already put a small scratch on it. The clasps on the case have some sharp edges on them and I must have inadvertently made contact with one while putting it in the case...kind of like coming out of the grocery store and seeing a door ding in your brand new car...sigh.

This guitar is all solid maple and mahogany and the sustain on it is unbelievable. I have a polytune clip on tuner and that shows that it picking up the note of a string for a fair amount of time after I can no longer hear the note audibly.

Nice Keamer @Larkspur!
