I cringed when he started "working" on it. And my cringe was warranted as the next scene was superglue all over the headstock, then later taking apart the neck pup.
Something that special needs to be with a luthier that won't make things worse.
Otherwise, good video.
Walked into my local shop, Bailey Brothers here in Birmingham, AL. As always, fabulous selection, and willing to deal. If anyone is local or stops by in there travels, ask for Waylon.
Anyhoo, I've been casually looking for a single pickup guitar a while. I've looked over and played...
Well technically not a new guitar day as I've spent a month with it making sure I could give an opinion "after" the honeymoon phase.
I purchased it from a dealer off Reverb, they had some excellent pics wich I'll post a few of.
Was born Feb 14 '22, Valentines day ♥️. Thought that was...
No, not necessarily. They both vary widely in weight.
I have 2 2022 Standards. One is 8.1 (faded 50s), one is 8.6 (umburst). I do however look for lighter Les Pauls, not simply because of the feel, but to my ear the lighter ones are more resonant, ymmv.
I posted a "landed" thread, but I really like it, alot. I like the feel of that satin finish especially on neck. This ones exceptional as far as fit/finish as well .... spot on fret work, binding etc.
Deciding between these 2. Everything pretty close as far as weight, feel, etc. The Washed Cherry is a tad lighter at 8.5, the Filthy Lemon 8.9 if memory serves me.
So down to the Washed Cherry or Filthy Lemon-
Plays great, can get real low action without buzz or choking. Adjusted pickup height to balance volume. Otherwise, will leave as is. Real nice example.
