Update: here is a quick unboxing/demo video I made! I had little time to edit this so please tolerate the quality 😅 https://youtu.be/1KdTdCn36Qc

Thank you!! And it’s washed blue dye!

Haha it took so much searching but this site had them, I haven’t installed them yet so I can’t vouch for the quality, but seems hard to mess up something so simple https://www.axcessories.com/Floyd-Rose-Saddle-Shims-6pcs

Thanks for the tips! I thought that the setup I brought this guitar in for would solve all of those issues but it seems like the tech only leveled one fret and did other basic stuff. Even if I wind up chasing my tail I think I just wanna learn to do everything myself at this point. I have the...

*Sorry if this is the wrong place to post since most progress is already done, I didn't see a place for completed builds besides gallery, and I have a few kinks to work out anyway* Finished my first build awhile ago but I wanted to fix some issues before posting, I think now is a good time...

Hey thanks for the reply Aaron, love what you’re doing on the YouTube channel! And yup, makes sense, I’ve got a replacement baseplate on its way, now I just have to not destroy my pickup during the swap! 😂

Yea from what I’m looking at, I have to match the pole spacing which I’m trying to figure out how to do Update: ok my 59 has a 49mm pole spacing, just gotta find one now

Ahh ok thank you, I didn’t realize swapping that part could be simple enough!

That’s what I thought too. I can’t get an exact measurement as it’s still mounted, but the legs on the 59 are around 14mm tall whereas the JB are only 8mm tall. I had no idea they could be so different

Hey guys, my Soloist build has been going smoothly, but I have one issue I’m not sure of the best way to solve. I opted for wood mounted humbuckers purely for aesthetics, and I don’t regret it even with this issue. My JB in the bridge installed easily with some tiny wood screws and foam, but the...

Yea the ones I have are alphas, and I ordered up some long shafters 👍🏻

This is what fits through with no washers/nuts, is that really enough space?

lol my thoughts exactly Smart move! Do you have any recommendations on places to buy from? Amazon seems to be the only way to get free shipping so quickly, and Warmoth and Stewmac don't have the long shafts in stock for my needs (standard 500K and push pull 500K). Also this process has made me...

Tysm that’s a relief, now just gotta find a quick way to get my hands on long shaft pots

Thanks, yea wish I had realized sooner haha. Is there a longer version of blade switches I’ll need too then? I gotta look into it
