Yeah, I hardly ever use oil. When I do it's tad bit of mineral oil, and then wipe off really well. Helps clean too.

That's where the term guitar "licks" comes from.Old school method: Eat some Fried Chicken; don't wash your hands after; go play your guitar.

Fit a fender delta tone. It’s really just a start detente cts pot with bypass in the detente. Best of both.Snipped the tone pot in the new Strandberg. Brightened things up a hair.

It's something I stole/borrowed from Donald Kinsey---who was playing
a gig and requested some Fried Chicken in between sets, and then told
us how it allowed him to play better/smoother/faster.... and that it helped
protect his strings and guitar.
Couple of us thought he was joking. He wasn't.
RIP Donald. What a legend!

On a side note, look at pictures of Zep shows from the 77 tour where Page was pretty wasted most of the time.
Every time a spot catches his guitars it looks like they've gone case to stage and back w zero care in between for the whole tour.
Literally disgusting.

That should have been on THEIR dime, not yours!

Looks like Page used fudge instead of chicken grease?!

The RG was one I sold, had for 1.5 years or so. I put $100 shipping on the Reverb listing, so it's my ignorance but just figured that would be plenty. NOT. Next time, if I ever list with shipping again, will be pirateship or similar.

I misread your post. I thought you had to pay to send the EBMM back.

Is that price for having someone else pack and ship it???
My last big guitar ship was a PRS 245 in a case and it was less
than $100 shipped. Not much, though.
Also, I add extra for going West of the Rockies. Seems like the
Continental Divide has a surcharge/toll of like and extra Hundo!

I packed it, double boxed with lots of foam around the inner box. Guitar in hard case.
I was just wholy unprepared for that. Didn't remember to try pirateship until way away from the house, and we are in bfe.
Gas is down, too, but think they'll lower shipping? Ha!

Check out Pirate Ship.
My son has been buying, repairing flipping of paintball stuff for years and kept telling me about them.
Used them recently and was pleasantly surprised at the discount.

Realized yesterday (can I post something from yesterday in this thread? 
) that I no longer own any floating locking trem guitars!
At one point I had 4 Floyds and an Ibanez LoPro Edge. All gone. Didn't specifically set out to hate any of them, and could deal with setup of each well.
Perhaps the universe worked its magic behind the scenes?
