Thanks!

. . . and got some leads recorded with her: https://soundclick.com/r/s8db90 Unfortunately, I'm not gelling with the 'buckers, (all the stuff in that song was recorded with the splits) and have some strat singles on order with a new pickguard.  :P

That looks pretty awesome!  The grill cover is a very nice touch.

I'm not much of a humbucker guy and usually play single coils, so went with an everything but the kitchen sink approach to see if I could make the 'buckers that I had lying around work for me rather that buying new ones: - The mini toggle closest to the neck toggles between both humbuckers split...

Thanks! The number one thing I learned is that I don't want to do the finish on any more guitar bodies.  Necks, sure.  But the bodies are a giant PITA.  :P Not sure why neon pink ever went out of style, or why you don't see more jazzmasters with a floyd.  If Warmoth hadn't nixed their neon...

Started with a roasted swamp ash jazzmaster body and an unfinished quartersawn maple neck. About 12 coats of Danish oil over the whole neck, then rounding the frets, then board edge rolling, then then taped everything off and two coats of wipe on poly on top.  A little light sanding of the...

Issue wasn't getting the board back into the correct spot (that wasn't too hard) . . . it was that when clamping I wasn't able to get even/firm pressure all the way around the fretboard.  I later saw that stew mac sells something that's like a gigantic elastic band for wrapping around and...

I've removed a fretboard from a beloved old worthless acoustic with a broken truss rod.  It wasn't worth repairing, and I didn't really have anything to lose at that point.  Had no prior experience and great success in the removal.  Basically the process was: - take an x-acto blade and score...

New Tune Day! The original concept I had in my head was a kid going to sleep and having his dreams turn into nightmares. Started out sounding trying to do a Policeish thing with a lot of sus2 and 4 chords, but tried to go with two guitars rather than keep things to a bass/drums/guitar trio. ...

Always gone by my tested and true method: - Check the fuse - Change power tubes - Change preamp tubes - Cry

Very pretty!  Any reason you did the strap button on the back of the upper horn rather than the top?

Sorry, the joke was in poor taste.

A negative test doesn't mean you're immune. The 290k, or 78% of the sample size who tested negative can still catch this disease.  Very, very easily.  Along with all the other people in the country.  Every one of these 80 thousand (more from the numbers I just read) are virus factories -...

I've seen it done with a gate latch before . . . this way you can quickly swap between blocked and floating with the flick of a finger:

Not murky at all in a quarantine situation like this one. This disease is deadly (more than indicated by death rates - even people not by killed by it may end up with permanent lung damage), and highly transmissible before people know they even have it.  Stay away from other people so you don't...
