I adddition to the P90 (that I also associate with Leslie West), the Filtertrons sounded really good. And for me, too, Malcolm Young is ”the” sound. Great video!

There’s a huge P90 boom right now (no wonder), and I’m hoping that there will be a good noiseless P90 available at some point. i have been looking at the SD JJN version, but no real reviews yet, I believe?

Looks like a raclette for the guitar player

@stratamania Yes, most probably. That locking nut seems massive (high). But as fixing things (working on the nut itself or the guitar neck) feels a bit too much for me (and my tech friend), I will probably get rid of the locking nut and put the Graphtech unlock nut there, instead.

@stratamania good point, I do have a retainer bar. And yes, when I lock the nut after having used the headstock tuners, the tuning changes. However, the tuning goes off when the nut is locked, just after playing a song or two, without doeing any heavy bends. But I’ll check the retainer bar, thx!

@bruzanhd thank you for the information! There is now a 0.25 shim in the neck. The bridge shim was removed before it was installed, so nothing to do there, but there were shims placed under the saddles (for the radius), and the ones under the E strings were now removed. This has made the upper...

I’m sure there’s a departement somewhere at Betty Fords clinic for this, but this world would be a very boring place if everybody who should, would go there 😜 So many interesting things about this very special build, but it is really great to see how you are combining some of your favorite...

Thank @BroccoliRob and @supertruper1988 for your time and all information! I’ll go back to the planning/drawing board….

@BroccoliRob thx, that sounds alarming! I planned the guitar for two years, asked all possible questions on this forum, other forums, from Warmoth, Schaller, etc. The (compatible) radius part was one of the things that I focused the most on, so I would have assumed that would have been correct...

@supertruper1988 Thank you for the information! I used the builder and had long conversations with the Warmoth sales rep, so yes, at least I ordered an angled pocket 😜 I know nothing about shimming a guitar and I just know that there all kinds different sizes (and angled?) shims that I could...

These could be added to the list: Pariah Wolfetone

So, after more than a year of playing only my Coffee guitar, I tried my old EVH Wolfgang for the first time since that. I was shocked by how much lower the action is on the Wolfgang, and how much easier it is to play. Both are 12-16 radius guitars with a Floyd Rose. It seems that even if I...

Damn, this is scary, as I have been thinking of an YJM Strat the last couple of weeks! What are the full specs of that particular build? Also, those of you who own or have played a Fender Malmsteen Strat, is there something that you don’t like in that guitar, which could be fixed by ordering a...

But I guess they didn’t just dump some trees on your porch, along with the instructions 😜

I think I prefer Warmoth ;-)
