  1. ah, but which way to read those numbers? 0060918 or 8160900? Agreed the Jinhos are Korean tuners...and most of the detailing is accurate, although there is no truss rod cover, and no plastic plate behind the bridge. So possibly the pre-2014 Dillon...or
  2. Sadly, I'm in the middle of doing that for an old friend....
  3. Not a BMG...not Burns...not Harley Benton...not Guild...not Greco. Those are the usual suspects. We will need better pics..neck joint, controls, tuners... There is no plate behind the bridge...do you know who manufactures the bridge [Kahler, Wilkinson...?] It does have May's unique neck dot pattern. How long have you had the guitar, and what did you pay for it? To my knowledge, neither GF or Rondo have knocked off a copy. There have been so many versions of the 'Red Special', this may be hard to pin down, as there are plenty of Chinese knock-offs on the market, customizable kits and one-offs. Some places you can look: CQuadro Guitar Works (now Carpinteri Guitars) in Italy makes Red Special replicas (the Bohemian and the Extreme).[23] Dansan Guitars makes Red Special replicas hand built in France.[24] Dillion Guitars (prior to 2014 were built in Korea) making "Tribute Guitars" in two models. Dillion Guitars are manufactured in Vietnam by Inyen Vina CO. LTD of Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.[25] [26] RS Custom Guitars run by Everett Wood makes a variety of Red Special style replicas hand-built in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.[27] RS Guitars which were hand-built in Arizona, U.S. by Steve Turpin discontinued production of their models in January 2011.[28] In Germany Scheithauer Guitars makes a Red Special style replica called "Mayday" in Mühlhausen.[29]
  4. Glad to see I'm not the only one who cares about the color....
  5. I have used many tunings over the years, including open Eb [working with a singer who 'lived' in Eb...every...damned...song...it got pretty boring.]....but never open Bb, but I think you hit a good choice. Dropping the low E down to D would give you more 'thump', I doubt you need that in a praise band setting. You could try tuning the high E down to D rather than up to F, which would get you a thicker tone on the high end, not so shrill. Try them and see... And you could use a slide!
  6. I would ask the seller for more detailed pics... is that a set neck? if a bolt on, a new neck would be advisable... IMHO I would pass on a guitar of that 'level' with a repair like that...a good repair would cost more than $250....so how good a job would they have done?

  8. A guy who made his name playing African-American music is an open racist.....he and another once fave of mine, Van Morrison, are bonkers, anti-vax, anti-immigrant...sad, really. I'm guessing BB King was not aware of this either when they collaborated...
  9. a clear guard would work as well....okay, not as well since it would not cover any of the finish....
  10. In a word: yes. He said this at a concert in 1976...how did you miss this? I stopped buying his records after that. A guy who would say that in public would toss his own kid out a window....maybe....
  11. no, not the Nazis...the pommie bastards ruining the UK... you need to post, start threads and need to thank/like/laugh every post we read, and that is part of how you get your rankings... I'm already rank enough...there are, IIRC, 14 levels...not quite as challenging as the levels of consciousness

  13. nothing wrong with that, just don't cop his attitude
  14. he is anti vax as well...not the 'god' we thought he was in the 60s
