You know that some of that difference is dur to pickups position ?

Aww ... too bad it's all cracked up, eh ? :rofl: A beauty ! Give us more. How does it play, sound ?

I since got this 2004 G400 Vintage that is quite better and so a keeper

That's a nice one. I had a 1998 for a while that was real heavy, LP like heavy. Didn't keep it because of that.

In a nutshell, that nut is nuts.

Don't get a Standard, it's just a SG with a bit more bling to it. Get a P90 SG if you're going to get another SG. You'll fall over just like you did for that first SG. And hail to the wine red Studio !

Remember that the nut only affect open notes. That is 6 out of 138 on a 22 fret guitar.

So what's a normal tail piece height ... in 64th's ? :rofl:

Funny you'd say that. The thing I noticed when I first tried such a mix was how fast it turned to concrete, like one or two seconds. I learned that trick from an IBM Selectric typewriter tech that rebuilt one of the ball's lower tabs with metal powder and super glue on our machine. He told me...

Ahhh .. come on ! What fun is there if you can't argue on such things ? That's exactly why forums like this one were started and they are an infinite source of misinformation and ... anything you can think of actually. Like, let's say ... if pickup screw slots are all aligned parallel to...

Just like most mechanical parts on anything, they require maintenance so they keep doing what they were designed for without failing. What you describe is what a dirty pot will do after a while. Buy a can of Deoxit or similar cleaner and spray the pots (all of them) while turning them. While...

What about a split hair ? Americans are known to use weird measure units, like that guitar is 9 13/64th bananas long. Or, you can head my unplugged LP sustain as far as 63/64th football fields away.
