I have the same problem,thanks for the advice,I’ll try it 👍

Hi. Tried everything you covered, including changing the carb, fuel lines and filter, fuel bulb, even purchased 2-stroke engine fuel. Purged the bulb and have been trying to start, it catches but does not start. Have done the quarter turn on the screw on the new carb (which is a cross-head) anti-clockwise - did not work right up to the screw was almost out! Screwed it clockwise too back to point it could not, each time quarter turns, and repeating the start up process. Frustrating. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

nice sounding guitar...

I have that same SG... I absolutely love it. Sounds amazing and fun to play. Did you notice the volume and tone are not drilled in a diamond pattern but in a square pattern... Mine has the square pattern. Like yours... A bit of a unicorn.

i bought the strimmer /brush cutter a few days ago and the reviews say that many titans bog out,,,so glad i have found this,what is the tool actually called,i have looked on e.bay,or do i ring the parts for titan and ask for a sevice tool...

Great guitar & comparison! Well worth the upgrade. I've found 1 for sale in Australia, for $300 Aussie money. Need to snap it up! Pay day today. ❤ Never heard of the brand before but someone obviously liked it enough to buy it but only played it once. Wish me luck! I'll let you know how I go. Cheers.

Nice one! Ive just got one and I love it!😎

Anyone know a cheap way to stop the first 3 strings going out of tune (after bends mostly) strings obviously getting stuck in nut grooves

Five years late to the party but listening on some cheap but fairly decent sounding Panasonic ear buds I can hear some differences between the pickups with the Oil City being a good upgrade. The finish on this guitar looks a lot like my AXL single cut Junior which makes me wonder if AXL guitars were made in the same factory as Vintage. It does the same exact things under different light, looking a little darker and dull in lower light and like practically different guitar, quite bright red in bright light just like your shot of the Vintage at the end of the video. The AXL came new with the kind of upgrades you did to the Vintage, a Fralin P90 and full size pots. Does the Vintage have the Wilkinson locking bridge?

This is helpful. I've had one of these tools for years. A new carburettor is only £10 on eBay. Fitting is child's play. The adjuster screw on these is just a standard screw. I just buy a new one every year.

Hope you got the head gasket sorted on the MG TF aka Longbridge Lamborghini! I too look forward to some new Room of Rock videos.

Wow, if you put that on eBay you'd probably get a fortune for it in such super condition and with its box too. Its a forerunner of the multi effects pedals of today really isn't it. I suppose you could carry a spare battery in that extra compartment. Great video, thanks for sharing that with us.

Its amazing how many good quality budget guitars there are nowadays. When i first started playing in the mid eighties there seemed to be a big gulf between the cheaper guitars which were so bad they put you off playing and the much higher priced, higher quality, guitars. Great in depth description and some helpful tips too.

YES... get rid of that brittle ceramic P90! What a winner!

Far more differences than just the headstock if you were going to fake a Gibson… so don’t worry about fooling anyone

Great video, very helpful

I still can't get the hang of the strimmer spool.

Nicely done. The headstocks are a little too skinny to counter-balance the guitar's body, I've dreamt of doing the same thing.

on clean sounds its hard to say wich one, on drive it feels like city drives a bit better.

Nice video. Thanks.

I had this issue so I replaced the carburettor £8 on eBay, fix it but it would not start with out petrol dripped into the carburettor, it turn out it was bad petrol setting too long because of the original issue. Thanks you really helped, runs great and I have spare carb.

Nice jammin too

Loving it 4 years later

Well darn they finally changed it 4 years later

Thanks for playing lots of cleans! A lot of people miss this in videos. Have to say i like the wilkinson. But i do love the oil city delta i have in my tele.

I have a Mountfield MM2603 which looks the same as yours and the same problem I followed your instructions and problem solved thanks.

I'd like to know where you get titan parts.

Isn't this the newer Standard version? It has the "new" open book headstock.

Thank you for this detailed video. I've been swithering between the Vintage V130 and the Harley Benton DC Junior FAT, trying to decide. I felt like the Vintage had a slightly closer shape to the original Gibson, so was leaning toward that one, but after seeing the issues that all three of yours had, I've been put right off them. I'm planning to swap out all the electrics anyway, but seeing what a state the fretboard on yours was in, and how much setup work it needed... no thanks. From what I can see online, the Harley Bentons generally seem to come with sorted fretboards and a workable setup out the box. The only other option for those wanting an affordable double-cut junior right now is the Chinese Tokai UTJ54, but that's a step up in price.

hey how is the long term of this or did it wear off quickly?/

I just ordered one last night, an old vintage unit, and I’m planning on stacking with a fuzz face going into the hot tubes. I’m looking forward to the results.

Why don't they put a full intonation bridge on it ??? No extra expense. It's an essential feature, isn't it ?

I wish you would come back to UA-cam

Really great review thank you. Cheers Dave

I stopped watching at 0.05s anyone else?

I apologize for my ignorance but I have wanted to play electric guitar for a long time and I found an Epiphone SG deluxe faded blue. They sent me a demo video but my question is if you can get the Bridge dirty with this guitar or do you need to buy something?

Thanks very much! I'm not at all mechanically minded so your detailed - without being too techy - information has helped me a lot! Say "Hi" to Ted 😅

Believe it or not, three weeks ago I picked up a FREE 2006 Epi SG 400 guitar (my first SG) with a cracked neck, a very used body, and no hardware/wiring at all except for the bridge assembly. $160 (parts/tools) later I now have a rock-solid rock machine that plays like a dream, aside from just a hair of very manageable neck dive. I'm SO glad you talked about the volume difference between the two pickups. I was wondering if my new Epi Probucker bridge pickup was somehow defective, with the noticeably reduced volume as compared to the neck pickup. So it's not just my ears. Cool review. Thanks.

How ‘bout converting the strat headstock into a PRS John Mayer model?

Nice job, I’ve been working on an acoustic Epiphone too, the headstock had some damage and was thinking about reshaping it into a Gibson, but it takes skills that I don’t think I have, but I did a good restoration job, I’m just waiting for the new logo decal, the logo is different to the original, from older models, and I like it better.

the work seems fine, I guess. Impossible to actually see any true results on a video. I don't see the point of it though.

Oh my god, thx, it’s helpful,

the work itself is fine. I just don't see the point to any of it

Good review...got one yesterday!...it has Gibson deluxe tuners that the previous owner has fitted... although I prefer Grover's the new ones look cool in my opinion...it's a great guitar which to my surprise does clean tones very well 😊

Turned out great. It was a lot of work though.

All that work and He plays a Strat at the end LOL.....................still, good work Mate

So Ted the right wing nut job used Wilkinson pickups, it sounds just like his recording

There is a difference in sound but nothing to warrant the price of a new pickup

How do i stop ths drive shaft coming the tube

Thinking of buying one....thank you for video
