Thanks so far, guys ... I have assumed they would prefer the Asian wood, because in the past they used to use the sen ash also for their Strat and Tele bodies and not an (imported) American ash. Where did you get your information from? I can't remember a proven information on this subject on the...

Hi ... does anybody know something about the Tokai wood sources, especially the supply for fretboards, rosewood and ebony? Thanks in advance. Roger

Hi, can anybody shed a light on me concerning this MIJ brand? I've been told they have produced LP copies and other Gibson models (ES-175) in the late '70s / early '80s ... Thanks in advance ... Roger

Keep your temper ... do you really think this kind of wording makes you more reliable ... guess not ... :roll:

What went wrong, Mick ... got up on the wrong side ... ??? :wink: Roger

Well ... it's loud ... too loud for an appartement but I'm afraid not loud enough if you're used to play in a band ... I'd use my DRRI then ... For me it's OK and gives me a full load of nice cranked up tubes sound due to the four 12" speakers ... :lol: Roger

+1 ... me as well ... Roger

A wonderful guitar !!! Congrats !!! Roger

Seems to be the back / head of the screws which you can see in the cavity beetween the tone pots ... for grounding purpose ??? :roll: IMO ... this lousy job is nearly a sacrilege ... :o Roger

My God ... in the meantime whenever I'm ready for looking at a thread I'm praying: Please don't let it happen again ... but it's all in vain ... :cry: ... closing my eyes I can see the those letters now in my mind's eye ... :o BTW - you must know I'm also over at MLPF ... :( ... and I'm...
