My SC custom was also b stock bit I bought the TE90 QM bit as much as I love a telecaster I didn't get on with it and I don't know why! The guitar sounded great even played well but it just didn't have the feel. Most reviews is watched could not praise it enough but I bought it because the other normal Tele wasn't available. I've now sold that and bought a Japanese Tokai Breezysound the amazing! I do think the fusion 2 will be my next Harley Benton. Being a lefty its hard to find good lefty's and HB are knocking it out the park

ive got an Epiphone Futura Prophecy that I bought on eBay because I searched for EMG pickups.
I never use it because its a Floyd Rose and theyre a total pain in the arse. I wish there was a guitar second hand shop in town.

I struggle finding lefty guitars but also get bored with the ones I have. I have a great Epiphone sg I'm selling just because I find it to light as I'm used to telecasters! Nothing wrong with the guitar it plays nice and sounds great I just don't get it!

I have a 72 blond American telecaster that spends most of its life in its case also a Japanese Squire strat 86 I think.. I did buy the Kurt Cobain fender Jag 2 years ago but it was a bit marmite and ended up selling it to my mate who is a massive nirvana fan. Also a Harley Benton SC custom that is an amazing guitar with minimal setup! And the SG that's now up for sale

Anyone know what the easiest way of providing in-ear monitoring - mainly for rehearsing - without breaking the bank?
Got a drummer, bassist, two guitars with vocals.
I know there's all sorts of new-fangled - and expensive - mixers that can provide tailored mixes to each person, but what's a cheap workaround to get people a headphone mix they can sort of make sure they can hear themselves over everything else?
I'm pondering getting a cheapish mixer and dinky little ones for the two guit/voc as a sub-mixer feeding into the mixer.

Didn't want to start a new threat for this as it's quite niche; has anyone had any experience with getting a guitar refinished?
I've got a Gibson SG which has been in its case for the best part of 5 or more years and I've finally decided to get it out and start learning all over again. Unfortunately due to not looking after things in my earlier years, the nitrocellulose laquer has chips and dents in it in various places and sever buckle rash on the back. It was also cloudy as hell but I seem to have managed to buff all of that out. Just waiting on some new locking machine heads so I can re-string it.
Anyway, I'm looking to get it refinished and wondered if anyone had any experience with that and knew how much I was looking at for such a job?

I wouldn't bother. Some people pay good money for that shit.

That’s “ road worn “ . Add £200 to the price you want for it and get it on ebay.
Post a pic, there is beauty in guitars that are a bit battered. I had one guitar refinished but it cost me quite a bit at the time as I had an artist do lots of work on it.
People generally pay more for Nitro finishes as it takes longest to perfect and is more prone to wearing / checking etc.

The buckle rash I can live with, it'll only happen again if I did get it refinished. It's the chips and dents that annoy me.
I'll whack a picture up this evening, although it's missing the machine heads and the bridge and saddle are also off.

That's some paint job. Bet that set you back a few notes.
I honestly can’t remember but I think that it was about Euro 250 -350......
The whole world of guitars is new to me. Started 3 chord strumming earlier this year and love it.
Going to Vietnam in a few weeks and going to treat myself to a new acoustic on Guitar Street.
Binh Guitars looks like a great place.
