Remember, if you decide to overhaul it, put whatever you no longer need on eBay. Someone will likely buy it.In a message dated 1/14/2014 2:21:38 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, barrickjohn262@gmail.com writes:It ain't easy, Frank. There's a special clinic in Switzerland that I summer at.

Mojo, followed closely by a cork-sniffing usage of "Tone Wood" get my eyes rolling quicker than just about anything when it comes to electric guitar discussion.john

I do understand the mojo thing John, but I have to have the smallest shred of empirical data to make me feel like I am not getting over. I feel bad selling junk.I buy old guitars and tell myself that the oil and sweat gives it life, that's almost complete bullshit and if i could get close to that It would be ok.I think I am just going to give them away as souveniers.

Replcing rubber and glueing m=new pads, even relapping heads. but some other parts vex me, I don't get it.I am putting new pots on an EMS VCS3 and I am going to toss the old ones out. I have offered money for them but I can't get a why answer that makes any sense.Given there is money on offer, why I give a shit is a good question.Anybody ? Fritz ?.....
