    Hello: I'm writing to ask something. The answer may be obvious but I better make sure. I started a project on last year's summer and did not finish it. Mainly because I was moving to Continental USA. At the moment I was living in the Caribbean so the weather was always the same. No drastic...

    Hey all! So a while back I go my hands on a really cheap RG 7620 that I love very much. But after a recent mishap with foil tape I kinda sort of removed some paint from between the pickups to the pickup selector. Which looks kinda gaudy if you ask me. So for this winter break me and a friend...

    I wasn't 100% sure where this thread belongs, so I hope it's in the right place. I've got some ideas on a custom JEM project that I'd like to pursue. I've seen a few of you guys' projects posted here and there around the site and there's some really nice guitars that have been built. I'm...
