I was comparing the historic SG body shape to the Gibson USA body shape and noticed that it looks different, particularly near the treble side horn. Is the wood carved differently or is it the shape of the pickguard (small guard)?
If it is the guard, are there replacement guards (Gibson or...
It looks like Gibson will issue another run of the Chris Cornell ES-335:

My Gibsons still far out number my other guitars, but it is nice to venture out to other brands from time to time. Below is my latest guitar and I am having a lot of fun with it so far:
After several consecutive Gibson purchases over the past few years I thought it was finally time to go for something different and this guitar has a little bit of history as well. It is the original Modern Eagle II from 2008 that was used for guitar shows, PRS experience events, website photos...

I'm always late with posting NGD threads considering that I have had this guitar for a few weeks now. I guess I'm too busy playing it! This has been a great year for me guitar wise and I have had Curt at House of Guitars to thank for it each time. I have posted a few NGD threads already about...
I meant to post this thread a while ago, but I have been so busy with work that I havent had enough time to do it justice. Back in May I contacted Curt at House of Guitars to see the latest Historic inventory. As always, Curt wasted no time in sending me pictures of everything he had available...
The first RI Special that I have come across this year for anyone who is interested:
Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Special Guitars | Electrics - Gibson Custom Shop | Wildwood Guitars
It could just be a special order, but one can only hope that it's a sign of more to come.
I'm not sure if this has been asked before. If so I don't remember seeing it recently at least. Historic Bursts with dark backs don't seem to be as common, but I know there were some made towards the end of 2013.
So what is the MLP consensus on Historic Bursts with dark backs?

If a customer brings a guitar in for setup that has a two piece bridge and tail piece, such as an LP with the Abr-1 or Nashville tuneomatic, why might you have the raise the tail piece to set the guitar up properly?
What are the drawbacks of not raising the tail piece when it is needed?
I meant to post this a while ago, but I haven’t had much time and I knew I wanted to put some thought into explaining the awesome experience I had with House of Guitars. About a month ago I contacted Curt after seeing so many great NGD threads showcasing killer tops. Like the other threads...
I honestly don't know if this is an easy change or not, but I always thought it would be useful to be able to see the thread post number when a message is quoted within the same thread. Particularly when threads get to be several pages long and you wonder what part of the thread the quote came...

I didn't think this was posted on MLP yet. Orange revealed the new VT1000 Valve Tester at NAMM 2013. Not a bad idea, but pricey. Probably pay for itself in the long run though.
