Doh!!! Sorry about that.

It's great to hear that you like them. I have a pair sitting in a box that are about to be installed in my VIP project. I am a P90 convert: I love how responsive they are to picking dynamics and to the volume knobs. They can go from crystal clean to raunchy but still retain good note...

I ordered the 3-way toggle for my VIP 2 P90 pickup project. All of the diagrams and videos show an output lug on one side and 2 input lugs and a middle ground lug on the other side. The Warmoth switch has 4 lugs on the input side. Are the middle 2 for the ground wire? Am I supposed to bend them...

Finally got a decent photo...I went back and burnished the headstock front, back and sides.

I agree with Cagey: each grit takes longer. I was psyched at how fast it was going early-on, and I have leftover paper of the early grits. But the higher I went, the longer each grit took, and the more paper I used. I forgot to mention that after I got my Carvin, I sanded the necks on my other...

I interpreted the OP to be asking about a Graphtech Ghost Floyd bridge, not Resomax saddles on a non-Ghost Floyd bridge. Graphtech warns against modifying Ghost saddles: http://graphtech.com/support/faq/ghost-pickup-faq GHOST PICKUP FAQ Can I file my ghost saddle to achieve a different...

I am building a VIP with a Graphtech Ghost bridge and a 10"-16" compound radius Superwide neck. It struck me: I don't think you CAN shim a Ghost bridge because the saddles are integral to the piezo.

I recently finished burnishing my new Superwide Warmoth neck with Indian Rosewood shaft and Black Ebony fingerboard. (I have big hands and have always found it difficult on standard sized necks to do partial barre chords.) I followed Cagey's prescription and sanded in 200 grit increments from...

Given that it's CNC, it seems like it would be pretty easy for Warmoth to offer an LP control option in addition to PRS or Strat.

I am using stacked concentric pots for neck/bridge volume. Can I connect both of the stacked pots to a single treble bleed circuit, or do I need 2 circuits?

I just went through this. The neck pocket rout and the post spacing are the same for the Graphtech as for the Gotoh, however, the post diameter is slightly different: Graphtech = 22.3mm, Gotoh = 25. Be sure to tell the service rep. They charge $45 to install the posts, including a ground wire...

Steve, by 'raw' do you mean no finish whatsoever, including no tung oil? If so, I have never tried one, but I love the feel of my tung oiled mahogany neck. Of the raw neck you mentioned, which do you feel would be best for a Mooncaster? I'm leaning toward the Mooncaster vs VIP, as I would...

Thanks for responding. Pickups will be P90s, or possibly P-Rails for more sonic options. I love P90s. The bridge will be a Graphtech Ghost-equipped Gotoh 510 (piezo). Regarding the neck, I'm open to suggestions regarding woods. Definitely a Superwide fatback with the Warmoth headstock. And a...

Does anybody have experience playing both guitars and can give a knowledgeable comparison of tone and playability? I own an Epi Dot Deluxe that I have completely re-outfitted with new wiring, P90s, TonePros bridge, Grover locking tuners, and a bone nut. It plays and looks great. I also own a...
