My build has a Fender American series tremolo. When looking at humbucker mounting rings I decided to measure my Strat plus deluxe which has the same bridge. It looks like the taper mounts themselves would almost touch the strings , let alone the pickup. I have a Squire with a 6 screw tremolo and...

I got some humbucker trim rings from him, 5 days after his return limit I realized he sent curved instead of flat. He agreed to exchange them. I paid the return shipping. 3 weeks later I still didn't get them and hadn't heard from him. I sent him another message and he said he just got them and...

It's Thelonious Mutt!

The neck I just got is cut for LSR. They did drill the pilot holes. It is such a perfect fit that the nut actually clicked into the slot. It fit so tight that I had to tap it out from the side.

Where I work we don't wear shirts in the summer and even have customers around. Smoking is allowed too. The surprising thing about the video is that everybody seems to still have all 10 fingers. I can't imagine working a nitro paint booth without a mask on either.

To be fair, that version of "Hear My Train A Comin'" is actually a medley.

They did 2 shows that day. This movie has my favorite rendition of "Hear My Tran A Comin'".

I like their shape but that's about it. They look like a Switchcraft salesman's demonstration tool.

AH HA! I knew it!

I have a '91 Strat Plus Deluxe with the same set as greywolf and likely MSP. Love 'em. They sound like a strat but no hum. A little more sustain because of the lack of magnetic pull to I believe. I've heard good things about the Hot Golds, hard to really judge sound from youtube videos though.

Man, you won't even have to play it good to get chicks, just hypnotize 'em with it!

Ahh...thank you. Sometimes things on the bottle are misleading. I've never used this exact one before but my dad used to use blends and even make his own. I know that they usually work a lot better if you make them about 50% thinner for the initial coats and it doesn't mention that on the...

So I guess I'm just not understanding. Even though it's got an amazingly smooth surface now, it's going to be hard to get it to have a smooth surface? Am I missing something that's going to make it rougher somehow? I'm just planning on tru-oiling it to the point where it's sitting on the...

wow, in the 45 years I've been finishing wood I've never had anything end up looking like that padauk Tele. I've never had anything with visible pores at all, and I've only ever filled when I could feel pores before applying anything. It sounds like most of you guys are telling me that it's...
