I have purchased from aliexpress and have had no problems with the sellers. You get a 30 day guarantee that can be extended. The thing I ordered got lost in transit and never made it into the shipping tracker. I pointed it out and he apologized and remade the order and re shipped it. He extended my ...

rondo has decent lp jr knock offs at times. I had their Douglas classic TVY that I liked a lot. I got it from Honeyiscool and later gave to my nephew because he liked it.

Looks like there were susposed to be two toggle switches where the sliders are patched in. I see the switches on ebay every now and then. Maybe someone here has some. You should unscrew the switches that are on the makeshift plate and see what it looks like underneath. They may have done it without ...

big brother to the liam-0-caster

My wife picked up a starcaster at a garage sale for cheap because it had fender on the headstock. I did a set up and slapped on some new strings. I liked it, it has a nice chunky neck and is easy to play. Very light body. Not bad for a beginners guitar. It came with white guard and pup covers. I act...

When I was a kid, the guy next door would make paper weights out of clear resin. He would press clovers in a book then set the in the resin. I remember him doing a 4 leaf one that my brother found.

I am liking the lever switch more and more. I think you guys are right and it will work. I like the all black or black metal knobs the best, the all aluminum ones are nice, but a bit on the large size. have to wait and see what looks best once painted I guess. I used the black and metal ones on this...

Looking good! I bought one of those switch knobs as well. I didn't have a use for it but I figured as cool as it looked I'd need it one day. Ditto. I've been sitting on it trying to figure out what project I can use it on. Probably not this one... Can't get it to look correct. I guess I will live w...

check out the ibanez mikro. I like them because they have a bit wider fret board and are usually very nice.

Nice stuff. I like wider flat necks too. Maybe not 2", but you gotta do what you gotta do. Trans red with glossy, black pickgaurd will look cool.
