My '71 S-90 has(had?) a minimal finish that has little to no gloss left, assuming it had some to begin with. Definitely not the heavy, thick, gloss we see on today's guitars. @hansmoust should know.

Got some longer humbucker mounting ring screws ordered from StewMac that should work. StewMax member for free shipping.

I have some thicker felt pads I can use under the top screw that seems to do the trick. I forget where I salvaged them from. Unfortunately I'll need to get a longer screw.

Screwed in directly at the top, bracket for the bottom. And it's definitely that contact point. I pushed a scrap of leather/suede under that point which killed the bees. Hmm. :unsure: I might try adding a felt washer where it's screwed in at the top. That might raise it far enough.

Here's a fun one. I'm working on playing the A-50 with a pick (and dampening open strings on those 4 note jazz chords.) But when I'd dig in, I was getting a distorted buzz. Finally figured it out. It was the pickguard! Where the arch rises to meet it's straight side. I may try bending the...

More like the Elite who don't need to hide behind 4 knobs.

Welcome to the S-90 Club!

That seems to be the news in the G&L FB group. But nothing official.

:eek:😢

Maybe the Gibson Custom Shop should be required to watch this. Now I wouldn't expect them to do this on their normal factory production, but this was a one off guitar that they're charging $100 Grand for.

The heel cap on my '56 A50 has had a rough life and is no longer attached. It's been that way for quite a while. But I just noticed a possible clue to it's construction. Finding thick enough plastics is hard through the usual parts outlets. I may be seeing things, but I believe it was originally...

David Mitchell in Ludwig on Britbox is great! Just one season so far but they've already got a second season in the works.

I've always felt a little insecure about my purfling miters; they're not as perfect as I want. But Troglys profiled the $100,000 SJ-200 Monarch Brazilian rosewood #100 tonight, and, yes, it sold. Amongst all the fancy gold, diamonds, Brazilian, etc, was this inlay on the back. Fancy, yes...

Seating plays a big part and whether I'm trying for good playing position or just relaxing (or just posing for a pic where I need to be able to click the button to start the self-timer).

Thanks! :D :unsure: Oh, you meant the guitar. :sneaky:

Did a quick look through the catalogs on GAD's site, saw Emerald Green (not transparent) and Honey Amber as color options in the '66/'67 catalogs.

Nothing says classy like silk wound string ends. 🎩

Gosh! How will I ever figure out my bridge position now?!?

And even then, there's not much post.
