Buy the SS and keep both for a month. Then keep the one you like best and sell the other.

This may be blasphemous around here, but for me, the bigger the better, and preferably stainless steel.

Sounds like a setup issue rather than a maple/ebony issue.

Those look like CTS dimple pots. Anyone know for sure who makes them?

Yeah, it sucks for the buyer, but instruments are typically only warranted to the original owner. The warranty doesn’t transfer even if the guitar is resold in it’s first week with the original purchaser.

I’d be interested to find the answer to this questions, too.

What tuning and strings are you using? Also, this is very true.

Welcome!

The 90s instruments used poly finishes, bit I’m not sure if it was the same formulation as used on the SE.

1. You can scrape it with something like a drivers license or credit card if there is gunk built up on the fingerboard. Then, use naptha to clean the board and oil with mineral oil if it is dry after the naptha. Gorgomyte works well, too, but I think it has been sold out everywhere for a while...

I tend to use 9-46 or 10-46 on solid body electrics in standard tuning (though I’ll go heavier when tuning down), 11-52 on semi-hollow or hollow body electrics, and 12s or 13s on acoustics depending on which sounds better on each guitar.

HNGD!

Well that’s even worse!

Well, you do have a bassist as your avatar, so… ;) :cool:

Binding doesn’t necessarily make things more difficult, just stay away from Gibson style biding with nibs. Instead, run the ends of the frets over the binding as if it were part of the fingerboard.
