Interesting site. This one looks really cool:

For that price I bet the neck is total crap. It says poplar body and maple neck though.

That Peavey costs 4 times as much.

Lol at "generic pickups" Entirely legitimate criticism, especially where lipstick-equipped guitars are concerned. Lipsticks have a build construction (and thus a sound) all of their own, but almost all modern reissues are just strat pickups housed on a lipstick. How did you come up with t...

serial numbers
1945-47 maybe?

There's a lot of stuff on that site, catalogs (although I didn't see it in any with that headstock), a database (although people sometimes enter the wrong models), and some other things.

squier makes just as many shitty guitar models as they used to, but now they also make some quality instruments that rival (and sometimes beat) the lower tiers of fender products. i hope no one actually believes the squier strat included in those $250 strat packs anymore than they believe there's a...

Silvertone can't reissue them because they weren't a real company to begin with, it was just a name Sears tacked on various made-to-order Harmony and Danelectro guitars.

Also, the new ones are all solid versions of originally hollow body models, except for that Harmony Jaguar copy.

naw, they sound whimpy.

I'd move the tailpiece some so I could fit several behind-the-bridge pickups.

UK population, 63 million; Japan 126 million. GDP of Japan is also more than twice as much.

I would hope nobody would admit such nonsense, but this is the internet. Or are you just counting the number of letters?

For old school stuff, you might want to check out Gibson literature from the Orville Gibson period. I can't personally find any online, maybe someone else can. Also Rickenbacker literature. You can only find it on their site, or get sued if you put it somewhere else, but it's there on the left under...

How about a 60's Teisco 24" scale neck? I have a guitar, not Teisco but same factory, same hardware, and the neck pocket is much smaller side to side than Fender. I don't actually have the original neck anymore, but the scale was not 24", it was 23 1/2", I remember when I had it I me...

This one is also in that vein: SIB! Mr. Echo It's a cool pedal and all and I kind of want one, but because of the specs on their site, not the TV style commercial.

Duo Sonic necks are not a different heel size, just a different scale, you may have to move the bridge if it's a new Chinese one, not sure about the Mexican ones. Show us what you want to do, your post is unclear.

I don't think they're that rare, but they're kind of like drugs: if they were totally legal they'd cost much less. Sometimes they go for less so they'd get rid of them faster though.

I don't care if it clicks or not, I want to know if you can get a tighter fit by adjusting the collet or something, and I am too lazy to remove the tailpiece to find out. edit: or do you mean it is possible to put a groove so it stays in place and doesn't fall out? I'm not sure that's how it worked ...

So newer tailpieces don't click?

I read that the old Jaguar/Jazzmaster vibrato bars "click" into place. I just have a generic new tailpiece without the string lock, the bar fits in and can stay tight without moving at all, but if you budge it a bit, it can fall out.

Is there some kind of adjustment?

It's certainly unusual. All the one pickup models had the dots, but none had the binding on the neck. Plus that one has two pickups.
