For interest, and not to muddy the waters too much, this is what is generally meant by the north and south of coils on a drawing. However, the reason they are called 'North' and 'South' rather than the easier to understand, 'Top' and 'Bottom' is because (by general convention, but very occasionally not), the top pickup has the North side of the magnetic field to the strings, and the bottom of the pickup has the south side to the strings. To definitvely find out which is which, hold a compass above the poles - if the N points to the pickup that is south to the strings, if the S points to the pickup, it is north to the strings.

OK, doesn't seem to be a problem, mine was switched off (as I never use or read status updates). If you look in your profile (click on your name at the top right), then select the middle button 'Edit profile' - is your status update turned on?

You are right, there doesn't seem to be a status update input. I am guessing as there are status updates, other people must have them, and its not something i would normally notice (I dont get the status thing), I will have a look into it later. Sorry for the delay, I don't come here often!

Have you considered hiding your credit card somewhere?

Should be fixed now

Depends what sort of system you have. It has all the inputs / outputs on its home page, so just use the easiest. It has 2 balanced outs (assuming left / right), 2 unbalanced guitar outs as well as a USB interface. If you have a mixer or an audio input, then the balanced outs would be the good thing, if you have a general audio input that can take guitar level signals you can use the unbalanced ones, or if you have no interface and a spare USB, just use the USB as an audio input

It would probably be better if you add pictures of what you are selling here, as well of prices of the items you are selling next to them!

Oh that looks nice. It has to be said you get nicer woods on your palletes than we get on ours!

It's standard apart from the finish but I am not a collector so not really concerned as to what is original!

I have a Gibson The Paul - a 1978s budget gibson. Got it of a friend after mentioning it was a guitar I really wanted in 1980 but couldn't afford it then (interestingly, for allmost the same price as it was new then). It isn't in great condition, but more importantly it has been finished in a sort of brown nitro which I am not a fan of. Originally they were just unfinished as they are walnut. So my options are to strip it down or send it to somewhere for refinishing it. I guess i could always have it done in TV Yellow, that might be good. Has anyone stripped one back and would it look ok unfinished after it has been nitro'd or is it always going to look a bit patchy?

Gibson once did a henrdrix strat. Not sure if they did that in left handed. But that was one of the oddest signature models!

To be fair, they wouldn't have been accurate models if they were!

Certainly seems to be working here!

I don't think the pickup is the significant difference in the Nate Mendel, I think it is that the neck is thinner and narrower than the standard precision, and that is the only shipping P model that that is the case of. Anyone can change the pickup in an instrument, sourcing and changing the neck is a lot harder. I think it is not a question of ignoring the model because it is an artist model is a different thing to actually going out of your way to buy it because of the artist affiliation, rather than whatever difference that creates, such as I notice there is a (increadably expensive) George Harrison telecaster. Some people will presumably buy it because of the George Harrison link (although for the life of me I don't remember a picture of him playing a telecaster, although he obviously must have), and some people will buy it because it is the only model made with a rosewood body. I doubt that anyone would deliberately not buy it just because it was connected to George Harrison somehow. Although I suspect most people would avoid it because it is almost £3k for a telecaster, which frankly everyone who has ever held a saw should be able to make in their lunchtimes!

Yes, it was broken by an update at 23:00 last night, but it was since fixed - took an hour though so you probably tried to get in at that point
