Can't wait to see how you do with it!

rockinlespaul · 11-23-2007, 06:06 PM

Yikes. Maybe you can fix it, but who'd want it?

rickym · 02-06-2008, 12:05 PM

I would!

drewbertca · 02-06-2008, 12:15 PM

I would have cried if that were my guitar.....I hope it turns out good...

Yeah Pete loved to trash SG, LPs and amps, man there was a fortune thrown away, if we had them now!!!!!!

BCRGreg · 02-06-2008, 08:25 PM

It's glued up right now, just sitting in the corner. Too much customer work to mess with personal stuff. Maybe in a month or two....

Greg,
Where O Where!

BCRGreg · 03-12-2008, 08:24 PM

Dumped the media card. DOH!

dwagar · 03-12-2008, 08:28 PM

Greg, after seeing the pix of your Bassman, I thought you'd probably play it as is.

If anyone could do it, I think you could.

BCRGreg · 03-12-2008, 08:33 PM

Bless you, my son. I have found favor in you, and offer my protection.

BCRGreg · 03-15-2008, 10:03 PM

Today I strung it up with just a bridge and tuners to test the work....

If it holds with 11s strung to F#, then I should be able to play it all night with 10s....

thinkvisual · 03-15-2008, 10:08 PM

You're doin' it, man...IT'S A L I V E !!!

BCRGreg · 03-15-2008, 10:12 PM

I just found this "before" shot.

zoso304 · 03-15-2008, 11:12 PM

only a Gibson is good enough.

drewbertca · 03-15-2008, 11:51 PM

looks awesome.....If it were mine, from the quality of your work evident in the pictures, I'd leave the 11's on her....

Strongbad · 03-16-2008, 10:24 AM

You do amazing work! Absolutely incredible....I just want to admire it from afar - with other people's guitars!

captain tightpants · 03-16-2008, 11:37 AM

You are an artist, Greg. Sure as hell wish I could do that!

BCRGreg · 03-16-2008, 09:50 PM

Let's see if it holds before you guys think I'm anything but nuts.

drewbertca · 03-16-2008, 09:53 PM

put some flatwound 12s on there for a week...That'll test her.....

BCRGreg · 03-16-2008, 09:54 PM

It has 52 lbs more pressure on it right now with the 11s at F#.
