It's very hot and humid. Apologies for the wardrobe malfunction. Enjoy, this was really fun to record.

I recently swapped the regular Gibson wraparound for a Graphtec bridge for improved intonation. I never paid attention to how my original bridge was sitting.

Does this look normal?

I have my guitar wired and functioning perfectly with just the humbucker in the bridge position. The tone circuit is G&L's Passive Treble&Bass as seen in the diagram above.

I want to put the neck pickup back in without the middle. How (if possible) can I adjust the existing circuit (same as the diagram but without the middle and neck pickup wires) so that positions 2/3/4 are all bridge/neck combination?

Man, Gibson P90s have the juice. They sound much better through a tube amp.

On the left is a rare '08-'09 G&L Legacy Semi-Hollow with a Flamed Maple top on a one piece Swamp Ash body, and a one piece Birdseye Maple neck and fretboard with black pearl dots.
On the right is another Legacy, but this one is a custom build from 2022. It is also a one piece Swamp Ash body and has a maple neck with a Caribbean Rosewood fretboard and pearl dots. It originally was an HH but I threw in the middle pickup which I will probably end up taking out now that I have the the SSS.
The G&L single coils sound amazing, the previous owner who I bought it from replaced the bridge pickup with Seymour Duncan Cool Rails, and I fully intend on putting the stock bridge pickup back where it belongs.
The Humbuckers also blew me away, they have amazing clarity and also sound great when coil split.
G&L continues to impress the hell out of me. I've been a huge fan of Fender amps and guitars for as long as I've been playing, yet I agree wholeheartedly with Leo's claim that he did the best work of his life with G&L. Considering that G&L guitars were Leo Fender's final word on his most iconic guitars (Strat/Legacy, Tele/ASAT, Jazzmaster/Doheny) and considering what Fender is up to these days, I am even more heartbroken that the final production run of G&L guitars was finished last year before they suddenly went under. But because of these factors, the value of a G&L will most likely only go up.
For these reasons, I am slowly becoming a collector of USA-made G&L guitars... well, that and of course how well crafted the instruments from the Fullerton, CA factory were.
 
R.I.P. G&L, this may be a very hot take (maybe less so as of late) but they should’ve stayed in business and Fender should’ve gone under. IMO, even the G&L Tribute models consistently play and sound better than many of the lower tier USA Fenders.

This is a rare '08-'09 G&L Legacy Semi-Hollow with a gorgeous Flamed Maple top on a one piece Swamp Ash body, and a one piece Birdseye Maple neck and fretboard.

The G&L single coils sound amazing, the previous owner who I bought it from replaced the bridge pickup with Seymour Duncan Cool Rails. I actually really like how the Cool Rails pickup sounds and will definitely throw it in another guitar, but I fully intend on putting the stock bridge pickup back where it belongs.

I'm playing on the middle pickup for this video.

Hot Take(?): Fender should've gone out of business instead of G&L.

Just removed the neck of this old bolt-on Epiphone Les Paul. I’d like to fix it up and put a new neck on it. Would these cracks (11-13mm deep measured at insides of neck pocket) cause a catastrophic structural failure under the tension of another bolt-on neck?

I honestly don’t remember whether the cracking was this back before I removed the neck, but I heard some noises while trying to shimmy out the neck which was pretty snug in there.

I’m fine with it being in not the best shape. This is a revival project, more for sentimental value. Would this hold together with a new bolt-on neck in there under full string tension?

Tone chasing specifically late '76-77 for this one.

Got my phaser dialed in for this one.

Great song choice u/The_Slavinator!

Some laid back soloing over the Rio Grande-o section.

Hope ya'll enjoy
