the buyer knows he was ripped off after being told so, but his head is in the sand, and justifies the price because it has some crap 70's gibson pickups in it. he got the shaft, and doesn't care. he's got more money than he needs apparently. it's the positive feedback that bewilders me.

ok, so we have all talked about this before, but i wanted to share my experience today. i got some 1950's? cornell dubilier "greenie" .015/600v caps off of ebay because i was actually looking for coupling caps to use in a recent tweed build i finished, and wanted to upgrade the amp. well anyway...

just measure the string spacing and the screw hole spacing. for what it is worth my fujigen made strat uses a american spaced bridge.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120644407402&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT this guy, philaluthiertools on ebay has exact replacements for the japanese abr-1 that come on burny's i ordered one because mine had a slight sag and was pleasantly suprised to find it is the exact part...

yeah it's got little, yellow chicklets, kinda see through little jobs. so rlg-70 right?

i guess late 80's i'm not sure though. i will say if they have silver baseplates with grey wires, and measure a little over 8kohms they will sound great!!! mine just needed a little adjustment.

yeah i think its a 1990's at any rate it's a great guitar. i'm glad to have it. at first i loved the pickups, then i didn't. now i do again! just had to drop them real low, and it has a very beautiful, clear tone that overdrives with dare i say it! a velvet hammer kinda tone!! really smooth...

so does anyone know what kind of magnets are in these grey wire "vh-1's" they sound excellent for harder blues/rock, but i'm so used to the soft attack and bloom of alnico 2 i'm kinda wanting to throw some a2's in just to see. i play straight up blues through a tweed 5d5 pro, and these have a...

nope, no numbers at all. anywhere. well except for the knobs.

The last of the original MIJ Burnys was made in 1995/96 and in this period there was RLG 70, RLG 75 and RLG 80 more or less the same guitar with the same pickups and features often three piece backs and flamed veneered tops. Some cherry sunburst but many faded or tea burst in poly. The neck on...

actually, at some point there were stickers on the back of this one. in person you can see rectangle ghosts in the finish where the color is slightly different. i don't get it either, but to each his own.

ok so i got the guitar. all i can say is WOW, very happy. i took some pics of the control cavity, front pickup cavity, and the top. i am very pleased, i think its about 9lbs, my gibson is 10lbs, and this feels at least a pound lighter, all i have is spring loaded floor scale and that says 8, but...

you gotta get yourself a rinkya, or kuboten account. they are brokers that do the dirt for ya. it'll cost a fair amount though.

what value pots do you have? they should be 500k for regular paf style humbuckers, but anyway, depending on the way your amps input impedance/your cable capacitance, and the guitar you may still need it. in this case take a 220kresistor and 500pf mica cap twist em up in parallel and solder it in...

FWIW i have a fender/fujigen st62-us that has a pretty big c neck 9.5 radius. it's real fat for a fender. it is a 2006 lake placid blue, absolutely the best guitar deal i have, i got it from tak at katana giuitars for 499 plus shipping. came with fender 57/62 pickups, full size pots, blade...

oh my god, he's been using that rag to huff paint if he thinks he's getting that kinda cash!!! looks like a 350 dollar epiphone to me.

yeah, the first thing that guitar is getting is a historic lp truss rod cover. then pictures/documenting, then purple slinky's and a setup. and last a new gator cali girl case.

thanks jacco, i am feeling a little better about it. i will certainly post all cavity and pickup pics as soon as i get my grubby hands on it. thanks again. T

anyone?
