flameburst · 10-21-2009, 07:13 PM

I only glossed over the previous entries, so apologies if some have been mentioned before... I'm sure there's loads more I can't think of right now:

FYI - For your information

Reflectors - The knobs Gibson used from mid/late 1960-1968-ish

STP - Stop Tailpiece

ICFBI - I can't f**king believe it

WAW - What a w**ker

NALOPKT - Not a lot of people know that

Geet, Axe, Plank - Slang for guitar

OTP - Over The Pond. Add 'G' for OTPG = Over the Pond 'Guy' (just sounds so queer)

My bad - My mistake

STB - Sunrise Tea Burst (plus loads of other acromyms for sunburst colours)

OD - Overdrive

Black Beauty - The Les Paul Custom made between 1954-1957 with Alnico and P90 Pickups. Term is commonly misused when describing a three pickup Custom from late 1957 to early 1961. See also NALOPKT.

PAF - Patent Applied For (ususally pertaining to Humbucking pickups from 1957-1962)

Pat. No. - Patent Number (ususally pertaining to Humbucking pickups from 1962-197?)

PG - Pearly Gates

Bloomy - Bloomfield

LPF - The Dark Side. esp the Vintage area!

SICBWIJD - Shit, I can't believe what I just done. (Usually relating to having just bought an expensive guitar, or something guitar related).

11 - "Well, it's 1 louder, isn't it...?"

GSM - Gimme Some Money

BOTB - Beauty of the Burst

Cali-Girl Case - The 'curvy' Les Paul Lifton case which differs from the usual Lifton case shape. Brown on the outside, pink on the inside

The dusty bits - The area on the fretboard above the 15th fret.

That'll do for now.

I'm sorry but from what I've seen/heard this is not correct. Quilt/Flame/Plain are not finishes, they are the wood character under the finish. Sunburst, Lemondrop, Goldtop, Alpine White etc. now those are colors under finishes also. Nitrocellulose lacquer is a finish, basically the topcoat, the last thing applied to the guitar-hence the name FINISH (it's done after that!)

Cork sniffer
