2k is horrific in the sense of - don’t friggin inhale it. It applies easy and cures hard and fast.

Wow you can tell from the first lick Dweezil is wayyyyy outside the common pentatonic tropes. Very cool video. I always thought the little pentatonic section in Peaches En Regalia sounded very fresh

Yeah, which is why I’m wondering if this is a solution looking for a problem… I do want fine control, but I don’t want to introduce a new problem like loose gear lash

I had the same thought but honestly it can’t be that big of a deal - you may not get “1 turn = 1 semitone” but I can’t imagine you’ll notice if that’s off +/- 10% compared to how much it already varies with a single ratio set

Appreciate the feedback - I will pass on the offer to send them my way. Need 6-inline anyway.

Also - anyone ever used Graphtech Ratio tuners? I like the concept a lot and it fits the emerging theme of the build which is “Modern Take on Classic Tele”… the FCH bridge, the slightly flatter neck radius and half scallops, microcoils etc

I’ve only been messing with scalloped necks since last year and I really like it, you have my full endorsement ;) It’s certainly handsome. Where would a fella procure such a thing?

I’m two tracks in and liking what I’m hearing so far! This is unadulterated hard rock. Angus would be proud.

“I think I’m holding the trunk!” “…Then what the heck am I touching??”

What’s interesting is at some angles it really reflects more gold… it is really pretty.

I like it too but it is definitely a leather brown / bronze color. I was expecting more Gibson Goldtop. I might order a different pickguard

Deep gold pickguard landed. It’s darker than I anticipated, but I like it.

Just like papa Leo

Oh cmon @Spud you’re no less enthusiastic about Wilde pickups. We all know if someone asks a guitar forum what pickups they should get, it’s just going to be a list of things guys already sank money into/they’ve heard their heroes endorse. Let’s play nice

Yup. However your idea of reusing the screw holes could work, especially if you shim the neck pocket. It’s a question of how much you want to modify to get the existing plate to function outside of its original intent
