A26 asked:


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 have a 1963 American Fender Stratocaster. Its all original and in very good condition and has the original case I believe. How much is it worth?

i want the ones with the best tone and feel
i play rock and metal no jazz or country
I don’t refuse to play jazz or country, I just started playing a week ago and right now i’m just learning simple riffs and songs. Rock and metal are just my prefered genre to play right now. I just wanted the strings that matched the best with what genre I play the most of.

I have a couple of old Gibson humbuckers I suspect to be 1958 originals but i’m not sure how to verify it. One has “PAT. NO. 2,737,842″ stamped in the back, the other only has a “Patent Applied For” sticker on it. How can I found out if they actually are 1958 originals?

does anyone know if vintage tuners (1960′s style tuners) will fit on a new 2008 American Strat? or will I need to do some drilling and add a string tree? Also if anyone one has ever tried this than let me know how you like it. Thanks

i was at a store and saw a fender acoustic for sale. the man said that it was from the 1950s and claimed he checked the Serial #. the S# is 95031185. I checked the fender website but there is only dating for electric guitars. Can anyone help?

I have an Esteban Vintage Guitar, and would like to put a strap on it, but there’s only a place on the bottom to connect it. Please don’t make fun, I know NOTHING about guitars! :]

Bernardo Castanon asked:


I have been playing for around ten years, bass and guitar. I’m impressed though, some vintage models of guitars and basses are missing paint in some spots how does that get to happen?

Examples: “Jaco” Pastorius’ bass, Stings’ bass, John Frusciantes’ guitar… etc
