    N Jr D

    Those are interesting specs. I have a LP Jr with resistance 8.15ko using A5. Gbby uses A5 and 42awg enamel in their p90 The Kent Armstrong p90 pair I modded in my Casino are 8.10k0 and 8.2ko with A5 and 42awg enamel The KAs are chrome. I never found any aftermarket P90 chrome dog ears other...

    N Jr D

    Depends. I thought most of the thread was about various P90 models. My post was not casino-specific. It was P90 specific

    N Jr D

    To get that chimey Paperback Writer sound you need A5 mags and 42awg coil wire which Gibby uses. Generally the Asian Gotoh P90s use 44awg which is thinner coil wire which has s higher resistance due to more coils. Kent Armstrong pickups makes a Korean P90 with 42awg wire and A5 mag that can be...

    One I have never seen before ...

    I have played a real 60s Coronet. It has an incredibly easy neck to play and the entire fretboard is accessible. The body is light and thin. Johnny winter didn't play a Coronet for no reason. It is a unique design

    2020 Les Paul Custom vs. 2019 standard plus top pro?

    Agreed. If you can't get on with an any electric guitar try a different set of pickups. If you know nothing about pickups try Seymore Duncans.

    American cars in England

    I loved my Trophy Trail because that engine was gorgeous. Kinda reminded me of that early 20th century Brough design. Engines in UK used to be designed very artistically. But yea those points were crap. I'll bet I adjusted and sanded those points a thousand times. When I put it up for sale a...

    American cars in England

That was how I learned to repair electronics (Lucas) A little known secret: it was the vibration from the parallel twin that messed up Lucas parts. There...

    Epiphone Mini Probuckers

    I am guessing they are Gotoh. Some of the tonal issues with Gotoh is thinner wire gauge adding extra winding thus higher ohms thus muddiness

    Les Paul Fretwork

    The key word you said is "kiln dried" The Squier I used was a cheap Tele sale item. $125 One way to cut guitar prices is to skip the kiln drying. The expensive guitars use wood that is air cured and kiln dried. That is expensive to store wood in warehouses. Back to the op. Fresh wood swells...

    Les Paul Fretwork

    I have Squier Tele I bought for a project and noticed that the neck Maple was very recently timbered and so it was extremely sensitive to humidity changes. Fresh wood is not as desirable as cured, aged wood. Wood is more stable if it has been cured. Cheaper guitars do all their curing after...

    Texan acoustic made in USA

    Imerkat you just made my day. I was unaware Casino was newly being made here. Back when JC took over at Gibson a couple of years ago I posted a thread on Epiphone Casinos being allowed again to be built here. I never thought it would happen but I thought it would be real sign that the new owners...
