Locking tuners generally weigh more than non-locking tuners, so maybe reconsider if you really need locking tuners For the body, skip painting it which adds at least a pound of weight and instead seal it w something like Tru Oil. There are sealant oils that have stain color options so you can...

Anyone ever remove a 25" scale length PRS bolt-on neck and see if the end of heel dimensions match those of Fender-licensed necks? i.e. could a PRS bolt-on neck fit into the pocket of a non-PRS S-style body (Squier, Fender, Warmoth, etc.)? BTW, in advance of the likelihood that the following...

And regarding an underappreciated benefit to non-**locking** tuners, is if you are swapping out pickups in your guitar as frequently as I am to try different tones/find the right set for that guitar, locking tuners are a pain because the locking mechanism bites deeply into the part of the string...

Re: tuning stability/avoiding use of string trees, I assumed it was commonly understood that if one is using non-staggered tuners, then yes you would definitely be using string trees, at least on a non-tiltback neck design.

The first two years i learned to play in the mid 1980s, my Dad let me use his Eagle brand dreadnought style acoustic and his mid-1980s Telecaster that featured a hideous looking finish color: metallic flake, rust-magenta type color hue. Anybody remember these? Both guitars were fine as far as...

The underappreciated benefit of non-staggered tuners is that when one of the tuners breaks and you need to replace that one tuner, (yes, tuners do occasionally break), it is much easier to source a single non-staggered tuner that matches the other tuners you have installed, than it is to source...

Vega Trem is NOT a locking tremolo design. Instead, it's a non-locking tremolo that has the larger performance range that a locking tremolo provides over older design non-locking tremolos.

I like the content, but I don't think "assemble" is the word that fits best here for a title. The title led me to believe I would be seeing a video that recommended a sequence and tips on physically fitting parts together. Instead, "How to Pick Parts that Match Aesthetically" or something like...

Came across this on YouTube today. What is compelling here is that this person is someone with years of experience of doing setups and custom work. I have a full size StewMac brand shim that I installed on my Squier Strat in the last year, that now I want to remove and replace with a partial...

Love the headstock shape

Move the wires on the push-pull that are currently connected to two lugs and run to ground/back of the pot, to the other pair of two lugs in the push-pull pot that currently don't have any wires attached. Keep the other end of those wires attached to Ground/back of the pot. BTW: the wiring in...

This is correct, yes.

It was an entertaining video and hi-fidelity as always from Aaron, but what I didn't understand is, all the talk about "versatility is important" and then the choice of demo riffs that were ALLVan Halen. Yes, I get that Seymour Duncan specifically designed the 78 pickup to replicate that VH...

Alex, You haven't told us what Brand of pickups you will be using. Each Brand uses their own pickup wiring color code scheme. If the two pickups you are using are not Seymour Duncan pickups, then you'll first need to convert the colors shown in the wiring diagram to the wire colors of the...

Yes, thanks Stratamania. I spotted a little later on my own how the wiring diagram I provided originally needed a fix (i.e. extend the two pickup hot wires to the next pole over) to cover if the switch is type 1 or 2. I updated that diagram in my earlier post, but forgot to delete the old...
