Hey Chank, what are the odds that the heating blanket neck straightenin' trick will work on a 100 year old neck?

Chankgeez · Post by **Chankgeez** » Sat Oct 17, 2020 9:05 am

I think it totally depends on the particular neck in question.

So, maybe? (Probably not though.

)

Excuse me, Chank - do you think this is OG, or does it maybe belong in the hack job thread?

Woah! that fucks with your eyes... so that is where that dumbass musician pick guard comes from?

I saw when that was listed earlier.

Not sure I've ever seen one exactly like that.

Knob placement isn't very ideal, but often wasn't on those early lap steels.

I'd say it's probably original.

Difficult to say for sure without having it in hand. (All similarities to Musicman pickguards are likely unrelated.

)

I'd totally

that.

think you're right - those back contours were a bit too too lovingly sanded for a hack job

and yes, who needs all that excess "body" on a lappie?

Is that some kind of Cheerwine-flavored coffee beverage (either that or a song from an Ike Turner XMAS album)?

Do you prefer klons as a pretty hairy fuzz or a mild overdrive?

I never realised how much gain they had.
