    Firebird match

    No, not really correct headstock. But close enough for me. There's more pics here http://www.dillionguitars.com/new_guitar_blank_page.html Has anyone tried one of these? Not necessarily the firebird, but Dillions? Are they any good. Sure looks it...

    Firebird match

    I akin to get a Firebird. A Gibbo's to expensive and the Orville and Burny versions are really quite rare. Besides I want a white or a red one. Most used 80's birds by Burny and Greco are sunburst finished and that's not my cup of tea. So I've now tracked down two affordable, and hopefully...

    Tortoise pickguard

    I actually think that my TJ-65 looks pretty authentic. Ok it is too transparent to pass for a 59 or a 60's doublecut, it has more of a wheatlike finish. Kinda like early singlecuts. How do you go about posting a picture here, by the way? I would like to show you.

    Tortoise pickguard

    Yeah. I read that somewhere. Im pretty sure he used a burny LP special on the Who's been talking? DVD (live show form Osaka 1991) to. The funny part of my quite neurotic search after a perfect Johnny junior is that the man himself probably could care less about the pickguard on his guitar...

    Tortoise pickguard

    Hello eveyone, I'm looking for a tortoise pickguard for my TJ-65 Loverock junior replica. The black original pickguard looks cool enough, but I really want a tortoise since the original gibbos had them. And oh yeah, Johnny (you-know-who) had one on his junior... Any ideas where I can find one...

    "Japan limited line" Epiphones

    Does anyone have info on these guitars? I don't read japaneese. But from what I can gather from Ibekke Gakki they are made in Japan, have nitro finish, set neck and sell for about 100 000 Yen. Are they any good? Equal to Orvilles...

    New Burnys

    Does anyone know if the new Burny models are any good? I'm looking for a Black Beauty and the Burny RLC-115 seems quite cool. Japan made, deep neck joint, VH-1 pickups etc. Any info or first hand experience on that one? http://www.digimart.net/gk_detail.do?instrument_id=DS00215575...

    Change pots?

    Hey Guys, I've got a tj-65 loverock junior. Its a real sweet guitar and I love it, especially since I swapped the rather dull stock p-90 to a Peter Florance Voodoo. Now it really screams. But... (its always a but when youre a guitar geek, isn't it). I think the sound is kinda on the bassy side...

    Question about wood.

    Hello guys, I recently bought a TJ65. The juniormodel ya know. Anyways, I quickly decided to swap the stock pickup to something hotter, a Voodoo P90. I had my local guitardealer do the job as I'm not the handy type. Now to the point of concern. When I first brought the guitar to the shop...

    Love rock junior

    Does anybody have pictures of a NON see-through yellow Love rock Junior DC? I'm contemplating buying one and wanna how they look like before I do. I have seen various shots on the internet of what appears to be Tokai juniors in a solid finish and they don't look like their Gibson counterparts...
