Thanks for all of this great information. I of course know a lot of the music made with Marshall Plexi amps, but am not certain of what is meant in modern terms when someone says "plexi sound". If it is loud with overdrive, maybe distorted, ... that would not be a bad thing, but it isn't the...

It turned out that the amp they advertised was a bait and switch. It wasn't available at the price advertised, but of course you could by something else! I definitely want an AXE but am waiting for the next major release, which could be tomorrow or years from now. For now I am fine with my FM3...

I am looking at the Soloist body for sale in the Screamin Deals. Does anyone have any wiring diuagrams for a SSH Soloist, and/or any suggestions on how to approach this? Also, if someone has a link to a site that might have a pre-wired wiring harness that would fit a soloist with 1V,2T's, that...

Thanks! The body I am looking at isn't as pretty as yours (sigh), but it is only $160. Also, I really wanted an HSS, but ...

Looks really nice. I am thinking of picking up another Black Korina strat body and finishing myself. I can't tell from your post the exact Walrus product you are using. Can you let me know? Also, what are your thoughts on whether not doing the sanding would result in an undesireable finish? I...

I am unclear as to whether this has effects like the Fractal FM3, or whether it is just amps? Also, being a pedalboard unit, can it be used through a tube amp?

On the buying Marshall note, does anyone know anything about the SV20H amp? I am thinking of buying one as I am enjoying it in my Fractal modeler.

BTW, I don't really have a significant issue with staying in tune, just occasional. I probably shouldn't have even mentioned that. Really the only issue, and even that maybe isn't one if it isn't causing a problem, is that the action is higher further up the neck towards the body. It really...

Hi Mark, hope all is well with you. They are locking tuners.

Here is some additional info: (1) Bridge: Gotoh Vintage Tele® Bridge with “In-Tune” Saddles (2) Hipshot Tuners (3) Stringjoy Strings: Stringjoy Signatures Balanced Medium Gauge (11-50) Nickel Wound (4) Standard Nut - GraphTech Black TUSQ XL (5)...

Thanks, I will do some work on the bridge today. It seems to play well but has some issues at times with staying in tune.

My Warmoth Tele build (built in fall of 2022) with a maple neck and fretboard has the following issue: The strings are noticeably closer to the fretboard near the headstock than they are closer to the body. Do you think this is a truss adjustment, or do I need to do some adjustment of the...

Agreed, I am currently doing lots of reading on potentiometers, and learning. Things like audio vs. linear, split shaft vs. solid shaft, etc.

Pardon my ignorance on the proper terms. What I plan is the 2 push/pull tone pots, and 1 volume pot which is just the "normal" pot with 3 lugs. Hopefully that makes more sense. I ordered more pots than needed as I am not sure what needs to be done exactly, but my understanding is with the...

I did double check with Freeway and what you said is of course exactly what they said also. I went ahead and ordered CTS Push/Pull pots for both Tone pots, and a CTS SPST pot for the Volume pot. I prefer to have the ability to coil split each pickup individually, so the push/pull would be the...

I actually found that site yesterday. Very imformative. Those are the wholes I was soldering into. For an inexperienced solderer like me, they are a bit difficult, but I think with a better soldering tool like a Weller Soldering Station, I can do it. Either way, for coil splitting, I believe...

I go with both, resale and a place to live! But again, I don't ever resell these days as I don't trust the cyber world for such things. I just, for no good reason, want one guitar that is not "home made". Again, no good reason, just something I want to do. I lean towards the PRS McCarty 594 10th...

That all makes sense, and having 3 Warmoth builds I know that the ability to customize "exactly" to what you want is most desireable. I am 100% happy with all three of my builds, with the exception of the wiring on one that I paid someone to do, and which I want to now rewire as noted in the...

Just wondering on the PRS type switching that you don't like. Does this mean you don't like PRS guitars? Specifically, I was thinking of buying a PRS McCarty 594 10th Anniversary guitar to add to my collection as most of my guitars are Warmoth builds and I want a bit of variety. Just wondering...

Thanks stratamania! Makes sense. So for my setup I would need 1 single throw for the Volume and 2 push/pulls to individually split each pickup? For the CTS push/pull pots, and your last sentance. Do you mean at the bottom of the plastic piece the sort of protruding silver pieces marked the same...
