Wow Just Wow! I love my SG, I think you are gonna love it - Got a name for her yet? :evil4:

  :sad: Well I got the gold screws from Stew-Mac.  I ordered the Fender single coil pickup height screws and they don't fit the Samarian Cobalt Noisless pickups I got from the Fender Custom Shop, the ones they use on the American Deluxe Strats.  The steel screws that came with the pups are one...

Blue: Thanks for the tip, I will get them from Stew-Mac Wanna: That controller is my daughter Katie's.  :party07: It's all I can do to stay ahead of the kids, when they play that thing, they do really well and then they try to get me to try it.  I won't go there, there is no way I could beat...

OK - I went for the lighter fluid and found we had something called Goo Gone which worked pretty well actually at getting the adhesive off of the headstock.  I was able to apply the new Warmoth sticker and we have that issue solved.  I had to take the strings off to get at the adhesive and was...

:redflag: I haven't had time to do the lighter fluid thing yet, but I will try to be very careful.  Here's another little detail that came up - I bought gold screws for everything and the ones I got for the switch and pickups worked fine for the switch but they didn't fit on the Fender pickups. ...

Really nice build man. The trem thing is a bummer - think about this.  The springs on the back have to balance the tension on the six playing strings and the trem floats between the string tension and the spring tension.  The springs need to be in a stretched postion because if they are not...

:guitarplayer2: Thanks!  I got that from FSR on Ebay.  The guitar plays really well.  The frets are gold and are a little clunky as I am used to playing a Gibson SG with low wide frets that seem almost non-existent compared to these Jumbos.  The guitar fits really well - feels really good.  I...

:hello2: I watched my boy buy a bike and then take most of the parts off and replace them with the 'right stuff' that you buy after.  I thought of getting another stratocaster as I miss the two I had years ago.  When looking to see what I would get I find that I would probably do the same thing...
