I think I would start with a standalone 4 track recorder, or a 4 track interface if you want to learn to use DAW's.

Cool

Stanley Jordan seems like a freak of nature to me, he's that amazing.

What do you want to record? Just the guitar to listen back to? Songs? A lot depends on what you are wanting out of the recording. Start cheap and easy is what I recommend. I use a 16 track Tascam interface with Reaper, but I wouldn't start there.

I understand. Business comes first, so take your time. It's great that you're able to post what you do. I do want to learn about replacing frets and I'll be looking forward to getting your insights. I do appreciate learning from someone with your experience and artistry.

@Scott Baxendale This is my first time seeing this thread, and I really enjoyed seeing the pics. Did you ever do a thread on the re-fret? I would love to see that as well. I read earlier that you were going to show how to do it. Thanks.

Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, Philips, just about any brand. The parts sell on ebay. I buy used boards there a lot. Been lucky with not a bad experience yet. I keep a lot of good used boards also, especially T-con, and power supply/mainboards. I'm talking about larger LED TVs. There are still people...

You can also sell the remaining boards and screen and other good parts separately, rather than just tossing one.

I repair them pretty regularly. Don't just change the LED strips till you verify the voltage source is correct.

Watching good videos will teach you all you need to know. I learned from a U.S. Marine aircraft radio repairman, but there are people just as knowledgeable making good instructional videos.

Just as an interesting aside, I also have a 1985 E serial MIJ with the 6 screw bridge and I use the whammy bar and have had zero issues with it. It stays in tune very well and is my number 1 guitar, out of six electrics, all Fender and Gibson. And the neck is just the best. But there are...

I really can't add to what dirocyn said, but welcome to the forum!

This is exactly what I do.

Here's another belated welcome, lol.

I do love a Strat with a maple fretboard!

Nice collection and welcome! First time I've seen a bass with no frets near the body.

Well, I guess I'll be prepared to measure whatever is asked for then.

Gave me a good laugh!

Thanks for the info! I've posted pretty comprehensive photos. I'm not sure what measurements would be relevant, since it seems to be an ES125TC in every respect, except that it was made from the factory to have the PAF pickup installed, instead of the P90. I think that's the only difference...

I rebuild and repair tube amps regularly and there ARE things to be careful of. Don't do anything until you've read at lot about it, at the very least. But yes, discharging the caps is important when it's turned off, and don't do anyting with the amp on until you're confident you've learned what...

Welcome and nice guitars and amp!

As a bit up an update, it has been suggested by people on other forums that the guitar might be a one of a kind made by a Gibson employee. I have still been unable to find another one like it online or get any knowledgeable people to say they've seen one. It's interesting, to say the least.

I'll add Frank Zappa. Seen and heard him make one sound pretty good.

Nice playing! And welcome!
