It sounded better when you and Rich played it, than when I played. I haven't owned a 6 string guitar since 2004, so I'm quite rusty.Danotron wrote:I got to play Joey's guitar tonight!
I've never played this model before. It plays GREAT
Would a plastic (?) 330 case fit it? I've got some extra cases. I forgot to tell him about that.
Technically, ranch hand, it's a "machine screw"cjj wrote:Yep, POTR has the official ones, which are the same bolt thread as the old style strap pegs.
I make my own from the Schaller ones by tapping the original hole in the lock and using a flat head bolt with the head turned down to fit inside...
The threading for it is 10-24. (#10 screw, 24 threads per inch--TPI). Use a plastic spray called "Brillianize". Cleans it up and sheds future fingerprints. Google.rickenbrother wrote:Thanks guys. Tony can't grumble much about this one. It's not Jetglo. I guess they made a few of these back then with a satin or matte black finish...no fingerprints get left on the guitar. I just have to clean it my a bit to my liking. I guess I shouldn't use any Scratch-X, Nu Finish Scratch Doctor or Zymol on it.

Thanks Paul!jingle_jangle wrote:My 430 is in its original case--lucky me--but a Fender or general-purpose case to fit a Tele works fine.
IIRC, Ben said Brillianize is what they are using on the new UV cured finish at the factory. Good to know I can use it on this guitar as well. I'll find a general purpose Tele case.
) Set the 430 on the big peice of foam, trace it, then use a router to rout out the foam. Also, rout two boxes near the neck to store things in. Then cut the block of foam to the size of the inside of the gutted case. Glue felt to it, get it looking all nice, then glue it into the gutted case. Voila! Sure would!

It plays real easy and the neck has a very nice feel to it. Good action and it has a great tone. It's a keeper !! We've got some photographic evidence of Joey playing that six stringer too8mileshigher wrote:...We've got some photographic evidence of Joey playing that six stringer...
Probably more like evidence of me struggling with it!8mileshigher wrote:We've got some photographic evidence of Joey playing that six stringer too
Stay way from my guitar with sandpaper, YOU!ajish4 wrote:Sure would! SANDED DOWN to bare wood!
I'm thinkin' the photographic evidence will be enough at this point in time...winston wrote:Pics please.........
