    How about this? You offer that style of body to the masses? You obviously have the programming done, and there's not much more work than a lam top. Less if you consider no binding. Let us bolt our own necks on. If finishing is an issue, then offer them as unfinished only. I...

    59 vs Wolfgang profile

    I started on a 1 11/16 fatback. Talk about big! But oh so comfy! Love it Then got a 1 11/16 59 next. More on this below. My 3rd and latest got a 1.65 boatneck. Love this one too! More than the fatback. Compared to the 59? The 59 is special. Its like a standard to judge all other necks...

    Noiseless Strat Pickups

    I prefer 500k with my beefier singles. Harmonic design vintage plus (steel poles) sound almost muted with 250k. 500k/.022 cap made them perfect. I love the tbx tone in my Clapton circuit. I bump that to 6/7 which is like 350 to 400k. THAT is perfect. These days, the noiseless choices that...

    Noiseless Strat Pickups

    I went with lace holy grails for my strat build. I got them for 170 bucks new. They sound like good 50s pickups but quiet. The bridge is slightly hotter to balance. I like 300 to 350 k tone pots for them. They're good enough to not need replacing.:cool:

    Swapped Fender American STD bridge out for Hipshot nickle.

    I did this back in 2010. I asked W, and got no help. I had to find the numbers myself. Its been a while, but I think only the 2 outside mounting holes were just a hair off. I screwed the middle ones in first, then the outside ones. No drilling needed Its been a solid performer for 16...

    Wow...

    Eu law does not and will never apply here. Much like gibson cant do anything about tokai and all the other les paul copies outside of the US. They just can't import to the USA. This is a huge nothing in the scheme of things. If anyone, including those at fender thinks this will end up with...

    Ok Let's see your number one favorite player.

    Always a tough one. 10 of my 12 could be number one. Right now its between these two First is my strat. Its a 2010. Best strat ive played. Ec256 with dark matter 2s. Got it for free. It has no business being this fun or sounding this good.

    prs-o-caster build

    Yes! I agree. Toying with my 4th build now.... Its gonna be either a strat, a tele with full contours, a carved top tele, or a VIP.

    Warmoth Deep Cuts

    This would totally not work for me, but I always support more options

    How close is the Blue Ice finish to Pelham Blue?

    Ice blue is closer to firemist silver, which Cadillac originally called firemist blue.

    Joe Walsh auction - lots of Warmoth!

    Even more important, does he have any clothes?

    Treble Bleed; Variants and personal experiences?

    So, like turning the pot up allows more treble back as the volume drops?

    Has anyone felt the need to go from a tiltback to a straight headstock for tuning stability? (Strat)

    10 of my 12 are tiltback headstocks. Of those, 7 are 3x3, 2 are 6 in line, and 1 is 4x2. I prefer tiltback for the ample pressure on the nut with no string trees. For the record, they're all hardtails. A well cut nut renders either side of this argument, moot. Locking trems do too. That...

    Treble Bleed; Variants and personal experiences?

    How do these work? I mean, I know you adjust a trim pot and all that. How does it work in function? Is the adjustment more a frequency cutoff adj or a volume thing? Ive been interested in these. i like Ibanez's 330 cap, but it similar overall as the prs one. I can always tweak the tone...
