    Is a CS worth selling other guitars?

    Alright, so for years I was reluctant to spend money on a Gibson Les Paul Standard, buying several Epiphones over the years before I finally went ahead and bought an actual Gibson. I always thought it would be a too expensive guitar to gig with for me, but you get older and times change. I've...

    NGD: Joe Bonamassa 'Lazarus' + 1959 Lemon Honeyburst

    Hi all - longtime lurker here. I saw some comments on the larger 'Lazarus' thread about potentially polishing the guitar and what it might look like, as well as some questions about how it feels/sounds compared to the 1959 edition, and felt like this might help some people that are on the fence...

    I recently made a trade+cash deal for one of my guitars and this is one of the guitars that I took in and ended up deciding to keep. It's a 2019 60th Anniversary R9 in a lightly aged Golden Poppy Burst finish. This was traded to me from a Murphy Lab employee who had it built and spec'd out to...

    Upgrading my Traditional Vs purchasing a brand new R9

    Les Paul lovers, I wish you to land me your aid. For the few last months I've been considering an upgrade in my Les Paul department. I currently own a lovely 2013 Traditional (Picture attached). It feels great and plays great but sound-wise, it's not IT. I'm having a hard time choosing between...

    Case Candy - Gibson polish (1949?) SOLD

    This bottle of Gibson guitar polish came inside the original case of a 1949 Gibson archtop, along with this polishing cloth, by way of an estate. The bottle is 1/2 full of the original polish, which I would not try out on your burst at this point. In any case, its fun case candy, but especially...

    Gibson 60th Anniversary 1959 QC Issue

    Would you guys mind giving your opinion on something please? I’ve just purchased a brand new 60th Anniversary 1959. What are your thoughts on the image below?

This one's got a gorgeous...

    Marshall 1959HW Preamp Tube Blown

    EDIT: Fixed. Was the ECC83 in V1. Playing my 1959HW today and the volume suddenly dropped. Testing the amp, the Normal Channel seems to be fine but the Hi Treble makes no noise. Is it safe to assume this is a preamp tube? Or is something else possibly at play?
