Nice looking axe, Mike. I would take it in to a luthier to have it re setup. But that’s just me!
Another hobby... Guitars!

I bought my first guitar in 1986. Many more since, and I haven’t sold any. Here’s a few.
A couple more.

1st fret buzz on the low E is pretty common.
I've "hacked" it away a few times by putting a small piece of paper under the string on the nut.
Started with a single, larger piece than kept folding it until the buzz was gone.
Once you establish the needed thickness, it can be cut down as small as possible.
WAY cheaper than a professional.
...but it IS a hack.

I bought my first guitar in 1984. '84 Squier Strat- the last year the tooling was identical between Fender and Squier, but Squier was MIJ.
I traded that one away and wish I had it back, and gave away another (early 1990's BC Rich Strat) to a good cause- a younger guy just starting out with some potential.

Those Charvel Strats play GREAT, don't they?
That was my second purchase, an '86 Model 2.
(It has a lower serial number than the lowest on record at the MIJ Charvel site- much lower!)
Is that ESP a George Lynch model?

Yes! They do! The Slime Green and Pegan Gold are USA Pro Mods, The red and yellow are Mexican. As I get older though I’m starting to appreciate a bigger neck profile. But I can switch back and forth.

That's what I liked about the Charvel neck.
It was unique- and right in between the fat but shallow Gibsons and the deep but narrow Fenders.
Just right, and not like anything else.
...until I played a Schecter around 2012. It took a couple decades, but most Schecters I've played feel 99% like a Charvel neck.

They're really great, and my personal favorite brand. I have the Candy Tangerine USA Pro Mod with rosewood fretboard. I've also had a Fiesta Red Wildcard USA also with rosewood board, both of which are are pretty tough to find as they're the only early USA models with the rosewood. My 2 fav's are the MIJ pro mods though. Just a touch better in quality and the rolled edges give it that silky smooth feel.
I see you also have an Adrian Smith Jackson, and that's been on my wants list for a while. The pagan gold in particular would be my first choice, but the white with ebony fretboard would also work.

I am now ready to sell off most my guitars, mostly 60s fenders kinda rare collectables, and others. Probably 15 or more total, going to keep the ones i actually play.
Any recommendations on where to sell?

Or here!
I know it's not a guitar, but is anyone into, or familiar with banjos ?

Y'all might want to post some of your performance videos?
