You can get a guitar, some salsa, some underwear and a lawn chair... Talk about a holiday weekend!

Ah, the rare Fox Pike.

When I came to TGP I had one guitar. Now, I have five guitars and parts for two others. Thanks, TGP!

My Musician was an amazing bass, a factory fretless, DS940. I've thought about replacing it but the pricing and the age of the electronics are putting me off- mostly the pricing, tbh. I understand it, i just can't afford it. ;) The Roadstar IIs I have are unusual in that they're five strings...

I have two atm, both Roadstar II basses, both five string, both from '85. I used to have a Musician bass, still miss it.

Chalk me up as another Ibanez fan. There's some fun stuff in this thread.

Looks good, great color too. Enjoy. :)

Wood glue used to be better.

I always operate under the premise that nothing about me is, would, or could be cool. Then I relax and play some of my guitars, which all look pretty sweet.

When I got my main Strat, used, I figured I'd just live with the pickups in it before I made any changes. After a while of thinking they sounded really good at all settings, I relented and opened up the guitar to determine what were these really amazing, balanced and just good sounding pickups...

On the fretted bass I made fretless, I used a fret puller to remove the frets and then replaced the frets with maple, which contrasts well with the ebony 'board on that bass. It's held up well for over 20 years. I used simple wood glue, then when dry I used a sharp chisel to pare the maple...

I de-fretted a Squier Strat neck about a decade ago, it's held up okay. I played only a fretless bass for a long time, and de-fretted a 24 fret Ibanez bass before I did the guitar neck. If you do it, look into compression fretting and how removing frets can affect the curve of the neck. It's...

Here's Liam Gallagher's smashed 355-

Thanks all, for the answers so far. Good info here.

Sure. A comparison of pricing for ss and nickel could be good.

I have a RW 'board Strat that needs a re-fret. 21 frets, looking for nickel not SS. What's a typical price?

I have four, and parts for another in the works. All are Strats but all feel and sound different enough that they're still here.

I can imagine Gibson becoming more like Ric, making fewer models and increasing demand for their instruments. I can imagine Fender cutting a model line or two. I can imagine both companies, and others, continuing to raise prices. But, I could be imagining things.

Not the real thing, but an incredible simulation!

Elvis has left the guitar.

My main Strat has amazingly flat frets and needs new ones. but I think I need to play a couple guitars with SS frets for comparison- haven't played any, so don't know pros/cons for myself. Otherwise I'll probably stay with trad fret material, I don't play that hard.

A definite improvement over what was on there.

I have a Katana 50 and find the scalable output to be super helpful when volume is a concern- although it's kind of amazing how loud .5 of a watt can be. :D
