My latest is the Fender Jimmy Page tele. Owned it a good few months now and hands down this is one of the best guitars I've ever played. Almost makes me wonder whether I'm becoming more of a tele guy than a strat guy at times
I’ve bought two instruments during isolation, a 97 Rickenbacker 4003 and a 2012 Custom Shop P90 Es 335. The es 335 was pristine but had an issue during delivery...?
That sucks about the 335. Seller going to make it right?
neckbreak looks "good"
should be easy to fix, after repair its more solid than before the break

It’s turned in to an odd deal. He didn’t want the guitar back initially and gave me a full refund. I ended up giving him £400 for the guitar and then paying £200 for the repair. As mentioned, it’s a ‘good’ break. It’s also a good break I paid £600 for it! Should be back from repair in two weeks.
With the money saved - about £1400 - I bought the Rickenbacker. Not a single thought to do something sensible with it.?
you lucked out there DeanJam . The Gibson neck is a poor design and needs to broken and reglued to make it stronger ?
seriously though, Gibson neck repairs keep many luthiers in business. A good repair shouldn't even be noticeable.
This isn’t my guitar but it was a repair done by one of the top guys near me. It shows what can be done.
Wheresthedug That - with my limited experience - seems like an ace repair. I'll be more than happy if it comes back like that. I've selected the best luthier I could find in Manchester(uk). It actually given me a bit of anxiety about what to expect:)
I'm sure it will be fine. That Les Paul repair was done by Moon Guitars in Glasgow .

I hope karma rewards you for honor. You could have taken it for nothing but paid him something anyway. Serious style points, man.
Agreed, Chris.
I've chatted with Dean a bit and can verify that he's 100% human... well, you know what I mean.
I agree that the break looks clean in the ways that matter - not much "fine stuff", so there'll be a minimal loss of "meat".

Cheers man! I've had good Karma in this deal already, a free bass is how I configured it in my head.
I posted another guitar two weeks ago and the case split right down the middle during delivery. The guy was super cool about it, ended up being an upholsterer and I paid him for his time to repair it. He invited me to his next Gig too!
Buying and selling lots of gear to strangers has highlighted that most people are good people.
I need some style points:)

What an incredible nice and great essence. Same here and I assume that it also has something to do with being musicians. That creates this kind of relationship.... same tribe
To add something to the thread here as well. This Fender Billy Corgan signature strat is my main guitar since almost a year, actually since I changed the bridge pickup into a DiMarzio Tone Zone and my luthier adjusted it perfectly. It's not a beauty but a great work horse which does a lot between Gilmour and Metal for me. Makes me even leave my PRSses in the case for quite some time...
Cheers dude, I'm certainly not the second coming of Jesus though:) Definitely something to do with the musician thing; similar folk - I thought of that whilst typing but couldn't articulate and moved on:) Tribe is the word.
That Strat is very, very sweet! Matt black and maple is my thing:) Also, I have a 2014 Deluxe, I love the neck dimensions and feel - big - but I'm not sure about the N3 pickups and would love something else. I have no knowledge of pickups!!

Oooh who did you go with? I had a Lowden acoustic that got a break in the headstock exactly the same as yours. Got it fixed by a luthier and no one was the wiser. Until I broke it again out of pure stupidity (don’t ride your bike to the pick up point and try to carry three guitars at the same time )
