Interesting thread. Found this Canadian guitar forum by accident. It's interesting.

Dude lists a guitar for sale. Someone offers him a trade for a USA Tele. Or not.

Staff, don't freak out for "other media" being linked here.

I had an original 6V6 red plate on the TK. Man did that sound awful! Swapped it with a matched set of EHX 6V6'GTs. Found a guy in Houston on Reverb that shipped quick.

Curious to see how those TAD's are once you swap them out again.

I played one of these when I was looking for my first electric. It was really a nice guitar. Felt great and sounded really good.

It's orange. Of course they had to knock off $400 for the stupid deal of the day.

They must have sold all those horrid orange models.

This looks better.

That would probably be my biggest fear ever.

I ship mine to a friend's house.

Good idea.

Also, since I have been tinkering on fixing up old guitars, I put a post on FaceBook that if anyone had any old guitars sitting around collecting dust, I'd take them off their hands.

So when you bring home the guitar, you can say it was one of your Facebook friends who gave it to you to fix up.

alright musicians/guitar players, we are going to finish the rest of our basement soon, and included in the scope will be a gym/music room. Decent size room, and I'm looking for ideas.

I have a keyboard, 5 piece drum set, and almost a dozen guitars. 1 marshall class 5, and a fender cyber twin amp. Also a stage monitor that I may use for vocals. I want to set everything up so it looks nice and clean. Looking for guitars on the wall ideas. I have the basic hangars, but thinking about boxes. Or recessed boxes???
Backlit recessed boxes?? Where does this end?

Also kind of want to set up a small stereo with cd player/turntable since I have a lot of physical media still and want my boys to be able to grab a vinyl or cd and pop it on and hit play.


For the gym, we'll probably just get a dual cable type thing, something like this that can go in a corner




The space. In the brainstorming phase, nothing has been framed up yet. I am thinking I could move that closet to the right up against the storage wall (black line), and make it inside the room. Then the door into room could move up in line with the stairs.
Or we may lose the closet altogether if we can fit all the xmas stuff and currently stored stuff under the stairs.




Show me your setups.

This is my dream scenario….my wife recently requested I build an ADU/Music studio in the backyard to house all of my instruments (aka - get your **** out of the house, haha)…so I'm curious to hear the threads thoughts on this.

Man I wish we had a big finished basement.

That sounds like it's going to be cool. I'd be concerned that backlit boxes might literally box you in in terms of what you could do in the future. It would look cool as hell though.

For mine, I just did the wooden string swings, but stained a board and attached them to that. The board is mounted in the studs with two large screws to each stud.

Man, just make sure that thing is weather proofed to the nines. Is she talking actually building a structure or a pre-fabbed shed?

I don't know that I'd want mine in a spot where I had to go outside to use them, but one benefit could be sound proofing the hell out of it and being able to be as loud as you want.

well it's def a huge plus of a basement.
Our house was already a 4/3 between main floor and second level, and last year we put another bed/bath in the basement for phase I.

Remainder of basement is this area plus an even larger area for kitchenette, psuedo movie room, some more storage

My music room doubles as my TV room. I like the Openhagen hangers.

I could probably use your input on a guitar i put some money into.

well in 2014, i had training in Germany for 4 months, came back and it fell from the wall mount and head stock broke in half.

It was my first "good" guitar that I played live shows with.

It's a Jackson DX-MG with Floyd rose system with upgraded EMG Active pick ups.

The body is fine but the neck an headstock is a goner.

What are your thoughts on replacement necks?

Just googled and saw it's a bolt-on. I'd imagine you could probably find one on reverb. I wonder if they route the neck the same as a strat. That would open up Warmoth. They do some Jackson style headstocks. Strictly speaking a luthier could probably fix it but I imagine it'd be more cost effective to just get a replacement.

For display boxes, I looked into these when I designed my theater but ultimately decided against having displays entirely: https://www.guitarstorage.com/shop/humidified-display-case/

Oh it's definitely bolt on

Thank god right?!

This isn't my picture but pretty much what happened

Ultimately going to come down to your budget. Display cases are awesome, but $1,200 each is pretty substantial. Building in recessed cases would actually probably be less cost, unless you wanted them to be climate controlled. You could always recess them enough to make it easy to cover with sheetrock in the event you ever want to convert to something else. It wouldn't be hard to fabricate your own recessed case.

It would be an actual structure with a concrete foundation and HEAVILY insulated for sound....it's kindof the ideal scenario, just takes time & money!

I came across several cases that were just a few hundred. Anybody with experience at that price point?

I guess I would say your options are:

1. Taking it to a luthier who guarantees their work - problem solved (probably the most expensive route)
2. If all of the wood grain lines up and it fits together perfectly, try some glue (I see Titebond mentioned quite often on the luthier groups I joined, some swear by HHG (Hot Hid Glue) but it seems like a PITA to use, since it has to be at exactly 145 degrees for application among other things. You could also try regular wood glue, if ithe break lines up really good.
3. You could use epoxy instead of glue.
4. You could try a dowel/glue rig. The key here is that the holes have to line up perfectly. I don't think I'd try this option.
5. Buy a new neck and bolt it on. You'd have to do some research to find a neck that fit. Then you'd have to install it and make sure the angles are right.

If it were me, I'd probably call the luthier first and see how much it would be to fix it. If that's more than I would want to pay, I'd also ask him how much it would be if I tried to glue it myself and then took it in...as sometimes they'll charge more for fixing bad repairs (glue would be the easiest to clean up, though). Then I'd try to glue it just because it may work, and glue is cheap. Epoxy may work better, but it would be harder to clean up. With gluing or epoxy, you need to make sure it's clamped firmly in place and then know what the dry time is - and double that (IMO, just to be safe).

Also, medical disclaimer - I am not a luthier, just some guy who likes to build/fix stuff.

I bought one of these multi guitar hangers and it works fairly well. I don't 100% trust it since my heavy tele fell one time because I didn't pay attention when putting it on the hook. So now I just have all of the guitars on there that I don't play as much (and my kids' guitars that they never play). I have my nicer (and heavier) guitars hanging on the wall with stand alone hooks. My study has basically turned into my guitar room and then somehow my PS5 moved in here, so it's kind of my man cave. I'm jealous of a basement! My parents house in iowa has an unfinished basement and every time I'm there I want to start construction!

Way to go, Dan Erlywine!

Nice!

That is a great deal on a great amp!

It absolutely rips too. Great sound. Just too big for my needs.

And Sunday I was like, I just need one more piece of equipment to live life like Metallica, a Mesa amp……..

I can't even right now…….must…..have self….control
