I have had that in mind for my 59 for a while. Its the dark burst, basically same color as your guitar. I kept getting stuck thinking the nut won't match but I guess the nut goes with the binding. Nice guitars.
I bet that would look neat. The cream/white nut indeed goes well with the binding and the pearloid fretboard inlays. The fretboard on my std 50's is quite dark so i think the cream binding and nut are great for breaking up the darkness a bit, i think it would be a bit too much if it was all dark/black.
He sees a Les Paul and he wants it painted black,
I'll have to think about it, as I've amassed a bit of a backstock. There were points •especially during lockdown • when Ineededwanted something overnight from Amazon and a pack of strings or picks would tick the minimum order over the threshold.
If I were to do it, I'd mimic a set of the balanced 10's.
10 • 13.5 • 17 • 25 • 34 • 46.
For whatever reason I like 'em on damn near everything. The only reason I stock 9's is for the Strat and half the time I wonder why. Probably because everyone makes a 9 and I can try brands out?
They'll deliver that single nail file - in a couple days. I was specifically talking about overnight / same-day service. Even as a Prime member, they're not going to give that up for a $2 order. I don't even want to think about the USDA Choice members.
I found the balanced 10 set that I'd been running on the G400 acceptable on the 25.5" scale, and they work fine on the 24" Jag. If I had a traditional style Jag with the Jazz / Jag trem etc. I'd probably have strung it heavier, but given that it's setup more "Gibson-y" with the TOM and a Bigsby a ten set works fine.
Speaking of which - this happens to a few of my guitars too. It makes me appreciate some of those small design thigns that Epis have that other guitars don't - including their output jack that has two flat sides (it's actually not concentric and so doesn't turn). Would putting an extra washer on the inside help?
With that Strat, I tightened the nut on the inside of the output cavity, it doesn't move, it's the nut that is external to the guitar that comes loose. Maybe I'll use 2 nuts externally and lock nut it that way ? There are enough threads to do that.
On my Strat, I have a couple of lock washers stacked on the inside of the jack plate to achieve the flush with the nut look.
Didn't want to hear that.
Well, sorry. It's like adjusting the bearings on something like a bicycle hub. To lock in your adjustment you have to back off the cone (read: inner nut) a touch while tightening the jam nut against it.
