    That weird warranty card seems to belong to a refrigerator. Gibson Appliance dates back to the 1870s and was part of White Consolidated Industries from 1967-1986. Still in business but branded as Frigidaire.

      I believe your right on that warranty card. They probably filed it away alphabetically and later thought it belonged together. I'll bet they had a Gibson which was to Frigidaire as roper is to its counterpart we had Gibson appliances and that looked pretty much like the warranty we had.

    I don’t think that’s a true custom shop explorer. It’s got the normal USA line explorer body dimensions, the strap button is in the wrong spot, the the original inlay is showing through the pain. I suspect this is just a regular USA explorer that was painted by the custom shop and labeled as a custom shop guitar. As far as I know, all Gibson custom shop explorers use the 58 explorer body dimensions, which are less pointy/more rounded than a 1990-present USA line explorer.

    Wow I never heard of Trade Tuesday!!! I'd love to trade some of my gear. Got too many "similar" guitars. A Gretch, a Charvel and a Schecter H.H. setup, a modified Washburn, a Unbranded knockoff Ibanez Jem 7 multi LED Light Acrylic body with the fret markers being LED's as well with the H.S.H. A Fender Stratacoustic and Washburn (both are acoustic/electric) with nice hard cases. Even an older one that has a built in amp. Too many H.H. or H.S.H. pickup layout. No trip singles, P90 or Soap Bar pickups, no rails or sustainer and no Mini Humbuckers or "Fat Single" pickups. I do have a high potential Luthier project guitar. Its an older 1969 diasonic hollow body with Its original bigger wider single pickups. They work but need an original whammy bar and spring, an original Wooden and metal bridge with The height adjustment screwing discs. And It probably wouldn't hurt to get another original wire harness as they are the cloth covered wire harness. Gear wise I got a Fender Mustang V v2 with the Fender V2 4-12 cabinet and both the 4 & 2 button pedal, got a Marshall Code 50 with the code 50 pedal & I got a Line 6 Spiderjam with the FLV floorboard pedal.

    Where are you measuring the scale length from? Your tape measure shows 24 3/4” at the 12th fret, but the scale is the length of the high E string from the nut to the saddle. I don’t understand how you’re measuring it, can you explain?

    • @Trog
      @Trog  Před 11 měsíci +1

      The best way to measure a guitar's scale length is by measuring it to the middle of the 12th fret and doubling it. I use a special tape measure with regular inches on top and "doubled" measurements on bottom - called a Center Point Tape Measure. The guitar is an imperfect instrument so taking the reading by the saddles isn't always most accurate depending on your set up

    Hey, if I had $2,800 I wanted to burn on a guitar that harkened back to my late teen years and was just about as gaudy as David Bowie during the Ziggy Stardust era, I would bid on it when you put it back on the market. Whoever does wind up taking it probably has exactly the same interest that you did. Thanks for making it easier for them to get their hands on it when you're through with it, Trogly.
