  1. Since Wilson was so deeply involved with the Gibson Custom Shop, and then setting up the Custom Core line, you would expect them to be quite similar. The man apparently was VERY good at what he did. I"m hoping that Kuz doesn't run into any of the issues with the nitro peeling that some folks with Murphy Lab guitars have experienced. I know he takes extraordinary care of his guitars, so it there's a problem, it won't be from his lack of care.
  2. It's time to change things up for the new year and the pedal board is the target. For years I've been using a OneSpot to power the pedals, but it means I need to run an extension cord. At last years PSP, Bill Durkin had a supply that ran off of battery, so I was looking around and found this for $40 on sale. 4400mAh and enough spots to cover all of my pedals. Charge it up and fire up the pedal board without that extra wiring. I'm curious as to how much time I'll get from a charge. In a pinch I can always plug it in and keep going. I have never had a compressor on my board, and thought it was time I try one. When I'm jamming with my buddies, I sometime have a problem with keeping levels right since we're going direct in and I'm using the Iridium. Maybe this will even things out. I liked JHS's Notaklon, so I'm hoping this will work out.
  3. I would hate to load the wiring harness into that thing. A plain jane 535 is hard enough.
  4. MM, I didn't know you had the Tulk's PSP white whale. Maybe you could answer a question. Looking at the guitar in the pic, do I see a pair of mini switches, ala VIP switching? The original pics in the gallery are gone from that PSP, and all I have is from the video. Being that there were 14 years between Iron Mike's '96 and the 2010 PSP, I'm guessing they were not made at the same time.
  5. I'm with you Daniel. I think the Gibson guard looks clunky. I don't understand changing it as an "upgrade", or putting on the poker chip for that matter. It might have made sense in 1952, but after 70+ years, you would think players would know what the switch does.
  6. It was discussed here. It hasn't been officially announced. At this point it's just a teaser.
  7. The PSP guitar was a 555, just custom ordered with chrome hardware, which apparently is a common request and block inlays. I happen to like gold hardware, which I have on my H157 and 2000 Millennium. I seem to remember the guys talking about how white guitars were very hard to spray correctly. Any imperfection was easily seen. There aren't a lot of white ones out there.
  8. My bad.... I know... I know. Block inlays, headstock inlay, although it has chrome hardware. I posted the darn pic. Maybe I should have looked at it!!! 🤪
  9. Our friend Tulk won the white 535 in 2010. No Bigsby was seen.
  10. That's one of the complaints all the haters have on that other forum.
  11. You're a good Grandpa, MG. Passing along a love of music and fine instruments to make it is a fine legacy.
  12. I have one from every PSP starting with #2. I don't know if there was one for the 1st PSP. One year wasn't a tee shirt, it was blue with buttons, if I recall. I would need to go up and root through the closet to see. A few years we even had hats.
  13. Mark, good to hear from you again. Glad to hear you're enjoying your time. I missed reading your tales (sometimes good, sometimes tales of woe). Should there come a day that you get the bug, you'll surely find some like-minded mates to scratch the itch. Don't stay away so long next time.
  14. Lordy Mark, Do you have a black cloud floating somewhere over your head? I remember what it was like when my leg was in a cast for 6 weeks. UGH! Hope you heal up quickly!
  15. Wow, you were looking to replace a guitar player, and you end up with a rotation of drummers! That stinks that your man had to bow out because of arthritis. This aging stuff just sneaks up and bites us when we're just having fun. Hopefully the days of drama and drunken spouses are far behind you. Perhaps you can grace us with some videos of the new band.
  16. I can't think of a more eloquent way of putting the HOC and PSP in perspective. Yes, this is a hobby for most of us, but the friendships are what make it all worthwhile. Well said!
  17. You mention the neck/body junction, but I don't see a photo of that joint. Perhaps I am not understanding the nature of the problem. Is the problem only with the binding, or is there a more structural issue with the neck joint? While I personally would not have an issue with the offcenter dots, it clearly is a fault. Your best recourse is to deal with the seller. If he is an authorized dealer, he should act as the bridge between you and the factory. Having modified the guitar with the Bigsby may present a problem. Changing the binding on the neck would be one way to remedy the situation, and I fear that it could result in more visible flaws. The dots are knocked in by hand, so the dot could be drilled out by hand, filled and redrilled for the new dot.
