Glad to see you’re still on board. And of course, thank you for your thoughts.

Thanks, that is in fact what I’m trying to do.

You have good taste in KZfaq channels, LOL. Thanks a bunch.

Although I forgot to show the relic'd finish checking under the microscope. But if the customer decides to keep the guitar he intends to bring it back for a setup, so there might be another chance, at that time.

I know which bird that was.

They should in fact, do a little more finishing work, agreed. When I consider a Gibson for purchase I typically only look at the potential, as I always count on doing some finishing work to the guitar.

Hello... Interestingly, you are the second viewer in 14 hours that asked me this question. Perhaps I should make a video about that. In any case, I wrote a detailed reply to the other viewer, so I guess it's best if I just do a copy & paste of that reply. Here it is. I actually have three microscopes. The old one is Leica, the one at the studio is Vision Scientific and the one at the shop is just a generic, no-brand-name (that I know of) type. The important thing is the camera. And to be perfectly honest, I am really not happy with any of the cameras that I have. I have two cameras in active use and I also have two other cameras that did not work out well. All are Hayear brand and I am having issues with all of them. The company is hard to deal with, especially with exchanges. The two cameras that I use actively had to be exchanged, as the original ones had some issues (not recording videos at full length, recording glitches, etc). Even after I managed to exchange the cameras I still had to settle with some issues, as I got tired of dealing with the company. As you might have noticed, the camera at the studio is still recording some glitches. So, at this point I actually don't have a good recommendation on any reliable microscope cameras that fit the budget. Hope this helps and tanks for your interest.
