    Filing TOM Saddles

    Just don’t go too deep. I have spare frets of varied sizes. I use a fret the next size taller than the ones already on the guitar. I use the fret tang nipper and sip the tang completely and polish it smooth. I do two of these and place one up agains the fretboard side of the nut, and another...

    Filing TOM Saddles

    I learned the basics on needle files like the cheap kit from Harbor Freight, but actual nut files like the Music Nomad set make it far more precise.

    Threaded Inserts Installed Into Roasted Maple

    I have one of those milling vices from Harbor Freight. Works nice, but I do not recommend their drill press. The chick drifts ever so much.

    Smooth - easy turning 500K pot - solid shaft?

    PRS also has some very smooth low friction pots.

    #8 another tele

    It just isn’t level yet, you can still slowly build it up more, then you should have enough to level sand back and still have plenty of clear to protect the wood and maintain a deep shine once buffed out. It’s gonna be stunning once you get there though.

    Dyeing basswood

    The king of dying wood for me is Great Ape, on this forum. He did dyework on my Ibanez RRG7620 in my avatar. https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/ngbd-new-guitar-body-day-great-ape-content-non-warmoth-body-stunning-artwork.29607/#post-418843...

    Show your board!

    Voodoo Labs Mondo, using the courtesy IEC AC port. I purchased a right angle 12” IEC cable for the Helix and have it plugged directly into the Mondo.

    Warmoth raises shipping prices? Yes or no?

    Even then, carriers have a business model also, and if they have to pay more for fuel, and road use taxes,you can bet they are going to pass that along as well so that their minimal profit margin remains in tact. I say this as I was transportation dispatcher for 17 years and a terminal manager...

    Warmoth raises shipping prices? Yes or no?

    Well, with Washington state raising the highest gas tax in state history, you can bet that the carriers are raising rates, which will pass on to shippers, and ultimately the end user. You can’t expect a merchant to eat that difference if the already small profit margin is going to decrease.

    Limited run of Flamed....Spalted.....Acrylic Infused....Strat® replacement bodies!

    Those make me feel funny, kinda like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.

    Thoughts & opinions on my next build

    For heavy rock and all points in between, I’ve rally been digging the EMG 58 as of late. It’s a P90 voice in a Humbucker cap, with just a touch more output, and dead silent. It’s become one of my new favorite recording pickups as I am still a die hard 57/66 combo guy.

    Tilt back Paddle?

    Found it hidden in the construction method option, thank you. You can lock or delete this thread now, sorry for overlooking the option.
