You’re very welcome Alex. The guitar is looking fantastic!!! You did a great job putting it all together. I love it!

That's quite the stank face you have going on there!!! 😛 Congrats on the primo build Alex. (y)

I’m sure I have mentioned this before, but the stock Warmoth truss rod cover is just ridiculously HUGE!!! Not only that, but it has three screws to hold it on. Like that piece of plastic is holding the whole guitar together! I honestly see no reason for it. One screw is enough. Juxtapose that...

From the picture, it looks like it sheared off really clean. I would say it was weak from the beginning.

Sweet!!! You leave me with so many unanswered questions. Will you be bringing an assortment of suitable coins when you come over??? I am glad we’ll be able to work this out one on one. It will be most enjoyable, and productive!!! 👍👍👍

Just to clarify. Is that a nickel circa 2024, or a Buffalo nickel? Would a Mexican peso work as well??? How about an Iranian 10 Rials coin from 1974 commemorating Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi????? 😛

It should. I guess it depends on what you consider tight. I’m sure someone on here knows the exact torque that different fasteners should be tightened to. I don’t go that far. I know that I’m the type of guy that wants to tighten the crap out of things. I have to make a conscious effort to just...

🤔 Ummmmm…..

There’s been a few people at work that have had knee replacements and/or get cortisone injections in various body parts. Neither one is a joke, from what they tell me. Spud, I don’t envy the choices that you’re facing.

:LOL: It does kinda look like that, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it was only the result of 55 year old knees trying to come up from a full kneeling position and my thumb hitting the damn screen as I reached for the chair beside me! 😔 I like your story better.

Here's a recap of a few things that happened between my updates. --I ended up doing a second complete fret job. The more I played it, the less satisfied I became. The frets were still too tall and the crown wasn't exactly fantastic. I didn't really care for how the radius felt on the lower...

I had an issue with one of the Graph Tech tuners. The Number 3 tuner didn't work, the shaft would just spin and spin. The gearing seemed to be absent. Not quite absent, but clearly defective: I contacted Support. Once I finally got connected to an actual human (which took a day), George in...

Man that's looking really good. I really like the care you put into the copper taping. Sorry about the covid, hope you're feeling better. I had an issue with my G String tuner as well. I'm looking forward to more updates!!!

Alrighty. I got the Q Filter sussed out and installed now. I didn't like how it sounded when it was in the circuit all the time, so I put it on a switch. I only liked it when the pot was turned down to a certain spot anyway. It wasn't a difficult decision to go with a switch. I used the wiring...

👍 😀 That neck looks so good!!! Very nice. They did such a great job choosing the fretboard to go with the roasted maple. The whole guitar is coming together! Thanks for the accolades, Alex. I appreciate it.
