Does anybody know where I can get genuine Gibson parts (specifically bridge/pickup covers/tuning pegs) for an LP Custom Red Wine?
The local guitar shop is struggling to get them and I'm not convinced the ones I can find online are actually genuine; I was hoping to sell it and buy something a bit more appropriate for someone that only plays at home but the metal parts are quite corroded and polishing is not going to cut it... #Guitars#Music#MusicalInstruments
I'll be speaking shortly after 1pm. Please come & chat before or after & signup to volunteer for my upcoming community art for #Palestine#solidarity event ✌️🎨🇵🇸🍉💗
The power of music and unity are at the heart of this musical and charming picture book. As a little boy walks in the street to share his music, he is rapidly joined by other children from all horizons. All share a love of music and wish to gift it to the world.

I have taken up the Gravikord as my latest instrument. It's a 24 string electric harp, inspired by the West African Kora. It was invented by Bob Grawi.
I saw the instrument hanging in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY in June with my Godson Vincent, who said "It's the most N to The Power instrument I've ever seen." Next thing I knew I was contacting Bob Grawi & arranging for him to build one for me.
I can’t remember if I’ve this before but this rendition of the theme from 2001 is performed by professional musicians not playing their primary #MusicalInstruments.
I'm expanding my musical arsenal lately, and with a bit of 3D design & printing I've converted a 20cm length of ABS pipe into a decent #percussion instrument, emulating some $80 shakers I've seen.
Used lentils for the internal shaky bits. Pretty happy with the sound. Might make a couple more with other sized items (beans?) for a diff frequency profile.
Today is (apparently) Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day, so here are 4 images showing 16th Century Western perceptions of musicians and their instruments (some more uncommon than others) from the continents of America, Africa, Asia and Europe.

#NewGuitarDay A Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jaguar. I'm planning to take it to the local guitar tech on Monday for setup. It's a little rough. The fretboard is really dry and the frets stick out a bit on the sides. I suspect the bridge needs to be raised, which will require the neck to be shimmed. The vibrato isn't too noisy - I'd heard some of them are really bad, maybe I got lucky here. The frets are really rough. It doesn't stay in tune, maybe it needs work on the nut?
The good: it sounds cool. It's also the first guitar I've had with a tremolo (vibrato) system, so that's fun to play with. I don't like the tortoiseshell pickguard, but I ordered a replacement pearloid one. And I got it on sale, so I don't mind spending a bit of money fixing it up. So let's see how good we can make this guitar!
