Ok well i just got this guitar and i have really go clean tones so i dont need those. But im having difficultly finding a good eq on my amp that brings out the great sounds of this guitar. Ive played and heard it before and it sounds awesome. But anyway i have a fender dsp212 solid state amp, i cant afford another one right now but if you have any suggestions that would be great. For reference im looking for a good gritty, bluesy rock sound. A good tone for stuff like zz top, hendrix, zepplin, eric johnson, ect…

I am currently in possession of an EKO CX-7 Artist solid-body electric guitar. I remember reading somewhere that it was produced in the early 1980s, but I cannot find the site now. The only search result that I’ve been able to find is that of the same model being sold on an Italian instrument site for 450EU (about 650USD).

Any values or other information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a vintage guitar that has a label on the inside from when it was made. It says:
“Corelli Classic Guitar
sold by
Hermann Walecki
Westwood Musical Instruments
1611 Westwood Boulevard
Los Angeles 24, California”
It also has “No 670″ stamped in the corner or the label. Can anyone help me figure out how old my guitar is and how much it could be worth?

I just installed Fender Vintage Noiseless Pickups in my Stratocaster. I replaced the tone and volume pots and put in the capacitor in just as the blueprints said. My middle and neck pickups sound nice, bright, and loud whereas my bridge pickup sounds very faint and has very little sustain compared to the others, it’s as if I had the volume turned down on my guitar’s settings, that’s the best that I can describe it. I even tried turning the volume down in order to see if it might turn up but it stayed a basically the same volume. Please help!

I was on ebay one day, and I found this vintage cardboard Halloween cut out I wanted. I didn’t watch it or anything, and when I went to go back and look for it to buy it, I never was able to find it again. I’m here in hopes that someone on Yahoo answers shares the same passion in vintage Halloween die cuts as I do and will know where to find this de cut or have at least seen it. I would say that this die-cut was from the 40′s, and it was of a boy dressed as a bum/hobo carrying a stick trick or treating. Have you seen this die cut? I’m guessing it was made by the beistle company, but it could have been made by Gibson; I’m not sure. Please please please someone get back to me and let me know if you seen this die-cut. Thank’s.

I have a ’79 Les Paul, and one of the buttons on the machine heads has come loose. I would like to replace the whole set, but I’m having trouble finding a replacement that is vintage nickel with nickel buttons. It seems like all they make now are pearloid. Does anyone know where I can find these? I live in Tampa, but I’m guessing I’m going to have to find this online somewhere. Otherwise, does anyone know a good bonding agent to get this thing stuck back on. It’s my low E string, so there’s a good deal of tension when you turn it…

How much would it be worth. I have all the original papers from 1957. The serial number has been checked. It is 100% authentic. Plays like a dream. You can even see the wear from the belt buckles in the 70′s.

Is there any way you can turn a hard shell guitar case with no reserve, into one with a reserve? Do you just cut part of it out? Is there a better way to get more storage out of it. It’s a vintage gibson guitar case, used. It has no reserve with red interior lining. Is cutting out a box a bad idea?
Also, is a vintage case better than a brand new one?

I’ve heard an EQ can help bring out the tones I’m looking for or maybe plugging a tubescreamer in front of the amp to tighten up the low end? Any thoughts? Thanks.
