If it were me, I would remove the fretboard, even if it ruins it, and route a truss rod channel, add the truss rod, and replace the fretboard. I do actually build my own instruments. If you're not comfortable doing this, hire a pro luthier (which I am not:roflmao:) to check the neck, insert the...

The 5 UFO looking things near his left bicep/chest?

I agree with always working/recording in a lossless format. I will also add, always save/archive the original lossless source. Once a file has been degraded to mp3, there's no going back (to lossless quality); the damage is done. Best of luck.

If you, or anyone, opt for the CB Gitty fret template, be aware that it's very fragile. Yes, I found out the hard way.:eek: That said, for the money, it's worth it. I have a few of them.

My 1980 candy apple red/maple neck is B00175x. FWIW....the FB has some purdy Birdseye. Did I largely buy it cuz it's Leo's first year of production in his last gig? Yep! Did I spend $xx,xxx? I did not. Barely spent $x,xxx. I bought it as a keeper, something historically cool to me!

My 1980 L-1000 weighs in at ~9 pounds. My $.02? Get it.:thumbsup:

Oh, man! Sorry to hear this. Such a unique voice. I highly recommend checking out his solo, cover songs album, Imitations. R.I.P.

I saw/recorded them years ago. They are quite good!

I've been happy with my HD600 pair. As others have mentioned, how you power them matters....a lot.

Nice!

I'm guessing he went on hiatus for a while. I emailed him and had a new one delivered several months ago. As far as I know, he's back in action. I didn't know he had a gold option. :cool: GLWTS.

ORTF is 110 degrees with the caps being spaced 17cm apart.

Those Airstreams are sweet! Do you, by chance, have any interior photos?
