@@cbaten2 mine is still "vanilla" done the set up (after months) but yes, I would swap the Roswells for some Fishman p90s, they are so versatile... As of the resistor trick, it's the first time I am hearing about it, thanks for the suggestion, I might have to check it out!

thannks for the kind words 🙏🙏🙏 A cool tip on this to leave the 3 wounded strings (E, A, D) a bit prouder than the high strings, they will worn the nut much faster anyways and the heavier strings will benefit from been just a bit higher without huge impact in playability since they arent used so much in soloing anyways! cheers!

@@albertorincon3686 white can also be repairable to an almost 98%+ match

@@stavro9565 yes, hehe he is the most adorable coworker!

Okie Dokie.. I will apologize for using the word "Whining" That I don't but; you obviously find offensive. I retract it and replace it with the word "Complaining" What you are doing to this H.B. guitar is what I've done to/for Gibson's, Fenders and many other brands. And I no longer regard the "High Dollar" as highly superior if superior at all.

If the color isn't black or white it can take an awful lot of time to match it and it won't be 100%, it's gonna be 85-95%, not talking candies, pearls, metallics or other special colors... Also this kind of repairs takes really long even though most of the time is waiting time and there are alao back and forths...

@sonicalmods781 yeah, luckily its on the back side and ao not really visible. The advice 2 of them gave me was to get some really thin superglue and spread a little dab on to prevent it from spreading. It's a beautiful schecter telecaster that I got used, so I'm not driving myself crazy over it.

I guess you can judge for yourself if the informations i give are relevant but i wouldn't call it whining, well that's just my opinion! I think the overall impression for the guitar was "go for it" and it was so honest that i ve actually bought the guitar and i am even giging with it! Thanks for your comment!

Randal. I totally disagree and think your comment was uncalled for. I didn't perceive anything like snobbery from him. Nor was there any 'whining' to be heard. Just great advice and a practical demonstration. I've ordered an HB35+ so the vid has helped me a lot to show what I might have to improve.

@@sonicalmods781 Thanks for the reply, Most don't. I have changed "Whining to "complaining" in my post, And apologize if I misunderstood your intent, or the overall message you intend to convey. That's on me. I don't know why/how I misinterpreted your intended message. I will gladly apologize for that; and retract my first comment.

Done HB kits too, they actually are great!

Thanks alot for the kind words! This one belongs to a client and ofc I suggested the new frets, he is gonna do it in the future! Maybe I ll upload that too! Nice guitar! Good stuff!

Thanks for your kindness! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the kind words bud! Much appreciated!

Its reduced up to 10%, same with the clear, different kind of paints might have other reduction percentages, you should read each products instructions! Same goes with dry times, job was done in winter with allot of humidity, took 3 days to dry... different weather conditions and hardeners will require different drying times, again, product instructions are always saying what kind of hardeners (fast, slow etc) is optimal for each conditions along with flash times etc... hope it helps!

Yes, that helps a lot, thanks! Also, would you ever sand down paint after it's dry to try and make it more even, removing scratches, blending in edges etc. before applying a clear coat or does the clearcoat take care of that and make it invisible? Any help would be appreciated.@@sonicalmods781

@@gxtx6037 ofc I do level the base! But that's something you have to do before applying it! When you fill its alot easier to prepare the area by sanding more to where color and clear will be applied, that's why I only rough the base up with a scratch pad! Nice question!

I was looking for a way to use an edge with certified flatness without the need to have a dedicated edge for every scale length! Also I am doing alot of modern multiscale instruments and the conventional edges wasn't working.

Thanks for your comment

That's correct, if i feel the fretboard is dry i apply some but i mainly use hard wax on my boards which I applied right after the lemon oil.

Thanks allot for the positive feedback! 🙏🙏🙏 My best wishes for a creative 2024!

Especially when aged it's so unique!

The only win win when it comes to lacquer in my eyes you buy blue then get green down the line in 20 years. My Polaris white Sg’s were a hard one to swallow brilliant white to cigarette stain yellow. My sapphire blue SG starting to green up.

Thank you for the kind words! Happy 2023!

Thanks for the positive feedback! Actually adjusting your truss rod with full string tension is the way to go when you setup your guitar! I adjusted it the way I did for the purposes of fret leveling! If you need more information feel free to ask! I am trying to always answer my comments since they are not that many anyways! Happy 2024!

Thanks for the comment! I ll keep that in mind next time!

First off, thanks for being kind 🙏😊 I am sure you won't regret your purchase, hey! I consider getting one myself! 🤫🤫🤫🤭🤭

In the meantime, I purchased the guitar from Thomann (fortunately I live in Germany, so it was here in two days) and I have had it for the weekend. I agree with you that it is well worth the investment. I needed to fix 3 slightly high frets, nothing extreme. After changing the strings (Ernie Ball 46-10), taking the acting down a bit and adjusting the pickups, the guitar sings beautifully. It is a really flexible tool. I particularly like the fact that it offers coil split, and the combination of neck HB and bridge SC is really wonderful. The Bridge PU does clean jazz but also crunchy blues. The bridge HB does searing lead tones. The electronics are quiet. The workmanship is just fine. I could find no defects in the finish or in the binding work. The tuners are ok, the guitar stays in tune and they run smoothly. The top is not AAAA, but it is certainly AA and the lemon color is really great. I have played quite a few guitars in my life, been playing for 50 years, and I think the guitar offers the most value for the money of any I have seen, played or owned, and that includes guitar brands like PRS, Gibson and Fender. I do have to admit that it is my first hollow body guitar, as I had never been very impressed with them in the past. Optically and sonically, this guitar is just a great piece of work. For the vast majority of players, more than enough. So many people spend too much money on guitars because they are fixated on brand names. Most of them should spend that extra money on lessons instead. Only the top 5% require more than this instrument can deliver. Thank you for convincing me to buy this great guitar! @@sonicalmods781

@@tjdmd Enjoy your new toy bud! I am glad i offered some positive feedback!

Thanks a lot sir 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the kind words bud! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the kind words 🙏 It's a blessing having all those budget instruments allowing us to be creative! I also own a HB Bass, i am very happy with it!

Tommorow I ll check if I still have the same block I used to measure them, I ll leave a new comment here!

@@sonicalmods781 Hello. Were you able to measure the height of your humbuckers?

​@@alvarocalero5571hey there! Actually i have replaced the block i measured the pups, but here are some tips to find your own sweet spot! Always start with your "go to" pickup (bridge or neck) keep in mind there's no wrong adjustment, now as long as you play bellow 15th fret without having the "phase effect" you are ok, if you want more brightness,output and compression go higher, if you want more darker sound, more accent and dynamics go lower, after you are happy eith the pickup you use the most adjust the other so it doesn't have a significant difference in the output unless you are doing something totally different with the other pup and you are only using it with a specific rig, or for some other reason you don't mind it been much louder or silent than the other! I hope this helps! Feel free to ask me back if you want something else!

Hahaha, thanks for letting me know!

Happy to hear it! Thanks! 🙏

Nice question! The flatter the end result the more unnoticed the hairline will be. To get it flat without sanding through color you need to slightly over sand the area before applying the color.

@@sonicalmods781 Thank you! I'll try it again.

Thank you for the kind words 🙏🙏🙏🙏 appreciate it!

@@sonicalmods781 Watching it again, I am not a green fan; but she has been abused and neglected. And all SG's need love and attention. Still great work.

I think it looks scarier in the Video than in real, i ll keep in mind though, thanks for the comment

Yes, nice playability and sound!

At this point that's the most common answer! Actually a 2001 special in Pelham Blue, someone also mentioned Inverness green, i am not sure if that was an option for 2001 specials though. Maybe someone in the comments could tell us, Inverness green and Pelham Blue aren't so far off, at least in my eyes!

I think this was probable a 2001/2002 period SG special in Blue Teal flip flop that's faded to green?

I am not gonna lie, all those greenish-blueish colors looks the same to me! as long as i dont have to color match them for a repair!!! :D@@ianbenson7804

Original colour is Pelham Blue! Ages like good wine!

@@sonicalmods781 its a 2001 special though isn't it?

@@dougckelly I think you are right! Are there differences with the standards ? I have no idea!

@@sonicalmods781 the specials have no neck binding, dots instead of trapezoids and that’s about it I think.

@@dougckelly cool, seems like a special then! I guess you are right!

Exactly! The yellowing of the laquer gets it to look greenish!

Probably Inverness green.

no

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🙏🙏 Have a nice day!
