    MJC Ironworks Replacement

    I'm thinking I will have to order the foundations and give them a chance. I was also eyeing the Fodera Nickels after reading some reviews. I appreciate the recommendation!

    I did, but did not get an answer! I Meant to try again, but never got around to it today. I appreciate the lead!

    Neck is as bad as it looked. I will probably just have MJT refinish the neck at some point. I thought about sanding it down, but some of the checking will cause big flakes to chip off. Realistically, I probably overpayed. But dang, I like the look of it.

    This was just after cleaning and running some Deoxit on the pots, and is not a reflection of my knob positions. I appreciate the information though. I'm hoping there are plenty of usable tones to be found.

    MJC Ironworks Replacement

    Hello all, I am in the market for a new string. I was an endorsed artist with MJC Ironworks before Mike's passing and loved their strings. Unfortunately, no one picked up the business, and they are no longer making strings. I used their med-lt nickel-plated 45-105s and swore that would be the...

    I love it. I'm excited to get it in my hands and begin bonding with it. As for the finish cracking on the neck, I'm moderately concerned. I spoke with two techs over there, and they both stated that it was all finish, no structural. But it looks bad. MJT is local to me, and they could probably...

    Probably messed up, but got a pretty good discount on the Bullion Gold that CME had listed for a century. Hopefully the neck isn't as bad as the zoomed in picture looks. And if it is, at least I have a return window! I feel like a real member now 😎

    I was looking, but 54 pages to find a handful of Tbirds was causing my eye to twitch 😂

    Sorry if I'm doing this wrong, as I am new here. Does anyone have a Tbird bass for trade? I have a D-18 I would love to trade into a Thunderbird.

    Today, I will be talking about my Mills Custom Compass hybrid amplifier. This will not be an indepth review over all the different utilities of the amp, but more so an overview of what I think of the amp as well as my experience with Mills Custom. There were no overall reviews that I could find...

    Mills Custom Compass Hybrid

    Awesome! Mine has taken a little longer to get to me(about a 2 week delay, which was blamed on a part that was taking longer to get in). Should be here Thursday. I am excited.

    Mills Custom Compass Hybrid

    Has anyone played/reviewed the Mills Custom amps Compass Hybrid? I heard one like 5 years ago at a guitar festival and loved it. I recently threw down the bones to get one and realized I have not even heard a good review. There is one review on YouTube, but the guy is a friend of the companies...

    1976 Gibson Thunderbird Pickguard

    Hello! I could really use some help on a couple of things. 1. How much is a 1976 Gibson Thunderbird pickguard worth? It is hard to find anything on them, and I am curious if I got a good deal! 2. What might be the safest way to remove the red sharpie streak on the pickguard? It runs on the...
