     I highly recommend the use of a TUBE mic pre, particularly with a piezo pickup...really sweetens up the harshness of some of the piezo stuff. A tube also slightly limits the dynamics, regardless of gain settings, even more so as the gain is run ...(more)

     If it is a peghead break it can usually be fixed...on several different price levels depending on the cosmetics you require. If the neck is glued in and you want to replace the neck...replace the guitar unless its an OLD Epi... A bolt on neck r...(more)

     The 6th fret is too high...probably came unglued...if you can push the fret end down...you can fix it. If you want to do it yourself, drop a note...
