Ok good to hear from ya, good to hear ya like chicks, hope all is well, what have you decided about the guitar, I put Elitist pups in one of mine they work great, guitar sounds much better.

im gonna get the aged bone nut from stewmac.com. im gonna have a guitar tech cut it for me. he does like 10 of them everyday and he's been a tech for 25 years. i just played my friends epi les paul standerd with a bone nut he installed and i compared it to my epi and there was quite a noticable amount of sustain improvent(well at least i could hear it and thats all that counts).
i just got my gibby 57 pickups in the mail two days ago and im waiting to put them in. there going to sound great with my voxac30 i cant wait!!!

if you havent gotten a replacment yet you might want to consider a tusq. there made by graphtech, someone mentioned it earler in the thread. I have one on my partsocaster and really like it. you can get them pre-cut for just about any model, you just have to do some fine tuning/sanding on it to get it just right.

TUSQ man made ivory

IMO tusq sounds good , easy to work with , but can chip and flake. Laravee guitars did jump on the tusq band wagon , both being Canadian and on the west coast. They no longer use tusq.

dude IMO you just as well get the gotoh nickel plated bridge and gotoh aluminum tail piece nickel plated from stew mac as well. unless you want tone pro stuff? and a place in Canada to get caps cheap is Vacuum tubes @ thetubestore. New and NOS electron tubes for any amplifier. orange drops and they have some mojo etc. in the parts and accessories section get her all done up at the same time www.guitarpartsresource.com has the orange cheaper though.

I'm glad you and dennistruckdriver are getting along again. I think it is great that you are learning to do all of the mods and work on the guitar. I kinda get into this sort of thing myself. Although I should spend les time thinking about mods and more time practicing. For me, the latter will do more to make my guitar sound sweet than any mod I can think of at the moment. But when I'm proficient, I intend to start tricking out my epi as well.

Will do. funny awhile ago in the local classifieds a guy was selling a Fender amp that bubbles used in his College day, and yes he has been in bands and can play a bit.

yeah sounds good the roller for sure if you are going trem, do not forget GIBSON knobs for those CTS, and as far as drilling, reaming etc. I put CTS in my guitar with the pup change, and I just filed the holes big enough with a small tapered round file. whatever have fun if you do not feel you can not manage it all get your tech to do it.

Hornsby is definitely a 'chick' drink. Anything that will get 'em drunk, right?
