I have an Electra thin hollow body guitar with stop tailpiece, tree of life neck inlay, natural maple, two humbuckers, three-way switch, clear knobs, ser. no. 0777108. I thought it was a mod. X-410 but believe that is wrong. Can you help identify for me and estimate the value. Guitar is in perfect shape.

Thanks,

Nick

Steve...have several smooth jazz cassette tapes my wife would like to play in her car...which only has a CD player. Could you convert them?

Fred,

As a rule, the Kalamazoo made Gibsons are better than the Nashville ones. The brand new one is made in Nashville, but that's a ridiculously low price for it (is it an Epiphone instead of a Gibson? A new Les Paul is well over $1500, sometimes up to $3500). The way to tell if the 1977 and 1980s are made in Kalamazoo or Nashville is simple. Look at the serial numbers. If the 5th number is a 0 or 1 it's from Kalamazoo, if it's a 5 or 6 it's from Nashville.

: i was lookin for used gibson les paul standards and found a couple choices, one is a 1980 model with a few cosmetic scratches and the strap screw has been moved upward (the old one probably got stripped) ($875), the other is a 1977 model in tobacco burst with belt rash ($815), and the last is a 2001 model in mint condition ($710). i have heard the recent gibson stuff is shit, but would like ur input on whcih to purchase
: thanx a lot

: fred

dont fall for all that vintage crap.......just play them all and decide which one is you.......your not buying this for an investment, your buying it to play......and take a good hard look at the frets to see how worn they are if you go with a used one....trust me its expensive to have them done properly....and even worse if done by the wrong loser.....and you need to be specific about the exact model of the new LP your looking at.....at that price its either stolen(if its a standard or better).....or it may be one of the smartwoods or one of the special purchase studios from one of the superstores.....if the latter that doesnt mean its not a good guitar....its all in what feels good to you

If you don't know shit about amps, stay away from them and go to a good tech with the sicky. (the voltage can remain in the amp even if you pulled out the lead)

: I recently got my hands on an old marshall jmp superbass 100w head, it powered up but no sound came out so i replaced 2 of the power valves, still nothing, replaced the preamp vales and it works, but after about 10 minutes of use the valves really fire up and get far too hot, please can anyone help?

Ooops!! Sorry I posted this twice by mistake, I spelt my name wrong on one!!!

: Hi Folks,
: I'm doing some research for a guitar accessory design I'm busy with and I'd really, really appreciate some help. Guitars come in all shapes and sizes so if you have a guitar I'd like to know it's measurements!! Haa Haa!!

: No seriously, I'm looking for the measurement in millimetres of the Thickness of the guitar head (both mine are 15mm) and the distance between the Machine Heads (not the tuning pegs), if any. If there is no space between, how deep is the machine head casing?

: If you have a nylon guitar on top of the above measurements I'd like to know the distances from the edge of the guitar head to the open section, the open section and the middle section.

: This will help me out big time because for some reason Music Shops don't take kindly to a person attacking their Guitar stock with a tape-measure!!! Go Figure!!
: Many, many thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help me.
: Cheers Mel
