    installing a Schaller sureclaw in a HSS strat body

    Hasn’t happened to me yet, and judging by eyeball on the back of the posted guitar, the screw alignment is to the bass side of the center pickup, so even on the pool route, even if it did come through (which I doubt that it would) it should clear the center pickup entirely. I want to say from...

    installing a Schaller sureclaw in a HSS strat body

    In the past, I’ve used the supplied screws. I center it with business cards, then I use a center punch to set where to drill the pilot holes. I only drill to 75% of the screw length as far as it enters the wood. You have to take the thickness of the sure claw into consideration rather than...

    installing a Schaller sureclaw in a HSS strat body

    I have it on two guitars, and working towards two more. Just don’t overdrill the pilot holes and you should be fine. Measure the body thickness, depth of the trem cavity, and the thickness of the sure claw in order to determine if you just slightly shorter screws. I’ve ground them shorter in...

    Bulk Single Strings source?

    I checked that out, while not as cost effective as my JustStrings.com experience, still a great value, and a high consideration at this point. Musicians friend is being very helpful in filling in the gaps of gauges missing from their website. I paid just at $0.58 cents per string after...

    Bulk Single Strings source?

    Spoke with them, they only do singles, but not singles in bulk, like 12 ea .009’s 12 ea .011’s, etc. Their singles are retail singles, so you don’t really get a discount for buying higher quantities.

    Bulk Single Strings source?

    With Juststrings.com retiring back in October, I’m having a bit of trouble finding bulk packs of single strings. Does anyone have a domestic source? I am pretty much looking for 12 packs of each gauge, ie .009 p .011p .016 p .026 nw .036 nw .046 nw .058 nw This will service 6 and 7 string...

    Ted Talk: Why Craft Matters

    Since all of this AI has entered the conversations in the past year,I’ve paid no attention to it. My creative process has never changed. I write down phrases in my notepad that I carry with me, or the one on my iPad. I save riffs/passages in a riff library folder for Pro Tools. I’ve not had...

    A Modern Contoured Heel

    That is a rollout with more variables than I can imagine, with tolerances that would discourage many end users for custom shop “parts”.
