Les Paul, was not happy with this! The SG design was given a thinner, more contoured body than the Les Paul, and a double cutaway. Not only did this make the upper frets more accessible, it was further eased by moving the neck joint outwards by three frets. The simpler body construction significantly reduced production costs, and the SG, with its slender neck profile and small heel where it joi...

    I had my Epiphone Thunderbird 60s made fretless, a damn good instrument. I really don’t think that electric bass guitars need frets really. I like to see where the frets where at one time so I am sure to be fingering the right note. I thought that removing the frets on my bass would mean no more string bending but at least on my Epiphone Thunderbird I can still bend all the strings in the normal way. Standup double basses are fretless… Going fretless is a sure fire way to get rid of fret buzz LOL

      Lacking sustain could be the string, nut or bridge. The strong could be very dirty or old. The nut may be of plastic or have dirt in the groove and the bridge may be the same.... very hard to tell.... send me an email with some images if you can? austen @ austenlennon .co.uk.

    Love the idea of your channel, and that you invite people to donate any financial contributions to animal charities. Some corrections (regarding the image you put on the screen which named songs that the Futurama was played on). George Harrison's Futurama was not on 'She Loves You' or 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' - he used his (second-hand) Gretsch Duo Jet for 'She Loves You' (later given to Klaus Voorman, but then returned to George years later when he asked Klaus for it back). I think that George used his (first, of two) Gretsch Country Gentleman on 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', but would have to check that. So, no Futurama on 'She Loves You' or 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' (and George's model was different to the one you are working on here).

    I don't believe that the rotary switch is original. It would have had a two position toggle switch in this position, which controlled the middle pickup. The other switches were for the bridge and neck pickups. One volume control for the bridge and neck pickups and the other for the middle.

      @@LennonLuthierFinagler Although I wouldn't rule out it being original, I do think that rotary switch is a later modification. It looks like a Lorlin model, which I have used in a few projects and is still in production. No idea if they were in production in the sixties and I can't be certain it is that model from the video. This is certainly a pre 1964 guitar, as the later ones had the "Toaster" pickup covers, but I wouldn't say it was one of the very early ones, as they had glued in necks. Watkins did use rotary switches on their later Rapier 33s.
