    NGD: Fender Telecaster Traditional 60s

    Just got my Fender Telecaster MIJ Traditional 60s today! I had been eyeing these when they were sold new in 2018 for $800 to $900. Then BAM! They disappeared. Now people have been selling them for over $1K, and that's a bit much to me. I found one used for less than they sold new, and was...

    NGD - 2009 Tokai LS160

    After asking around about the finish being nitro or not (probably as a dumb excuse not to buy it), I went and tried the guitar... I shouldn’t have tried the guitar :laugh2: Here it is! (I’ll try to take some more pictures once the rain goes away, especially of the beautiful one piece back)

    MIJ 2009 Tokai LS160 - nitro finish?

    Hello! I'm hoping the experts can help me. I've got the opportunity to buy a 2009 Tokai LS160 Goldtop for a really good price, and wanted to check what kind of finish those have, as the owner can't say for sure. It is kind of a priority for a guitar like this to have a nitro finish for me, but...

    Elitist LP Tuner Hole Sizing

    Today I was admiring how nice the nickel pickup covers, bridge and tailpiece have aged on my Elitist LP. Then I realized the tuners are still bright, shiny chrome!
