New Scartozi Bridge in the House!

:icon_scratch:  Why ? ...............  2 x Black Humbucker height adjust screws  :tard: 

Hey .... the bottom corner of pic, looks like something flying though the solar system  :toothy12:

They just happened to be the only traditional humbucker height adjusting screws I had around. I don't use that style pickup very often. I'll replace them as soon as I have a need for enough other stuff to place a hardware order somewhere.

The UFO-looking artifact is a reflection of a recessed lighting fixture. I've got 16 of them down here. Whoever did the ceiling must've had a real fetish for the things <grin>

Good news! Ken sent me some gold screws along with the pickup you see installed there, so at least that much can move forward.

My roommate did me the favor of picking up some oven cleaner yesterday to remove the anodizing from the bridge. Unfortunately, she chose the stuff that's odorless, stain-free and eco-friendly, which is tree-hugger code for "doesn't work worth a tinker's damn, but we'll charge you double for it because you're clearly a sucker." On top of that, whatever's in it attacks aluminum.

Thanks, Jeannie. C'mere so I can kill you. Stupid environmentalists.

So, I gotta take that back and get the stuff that actually works.

You just need to buy some non-polluting credits from the guy down the street who never leaves his couch, much less feels the need to make stuff... At least, if you're one of the industrial concerns who pump vicious pollutant poisons into the air and water by the mega-ton, that's how it works - you don't have to stop polluting, you just have to pay a non-polluter for his "credits" so that between the two of you, it's evened out to a fair amount of vicious pollutant poisons. People read about this stuff in an idle way, without realizing just how stuff works under a system where a "lobbyist" delivers both bags of money to a congressman, as well as the already-written bills that the giant industrial corporations want the congressman to pass. (This is not a "political" post, in the sense that it isn't party-specific or "slanted" left or right - you can count up all the people in both houses of Congress who give a damn without taking off your shoes).

Mixed in with the bills that save the corporation billions of dollars a week by avoiding that pesky 'responsibility" crap, are just enough bills that make it hard for we rubes to find an oven cleaner that works, or a fountain pen ink that doesn't feather on cheap paper, or even varnish for a guitar that sticks - and the citizens feel as though they're contributing. Go Green! Over 80% of pollution is industrial - with the exception of not buying a ridiculous SUV tank or a drywall suburban "mansion" for tiny-penis compensating "credits" - keeping up with the Jones who are keeping up with you - the ordinary citizen can really contribute only by avoiding funding the worst of the corporations, but a large part of what you pay whenever you buy anything is now going towards "public relations" AKA "conning the consumers." PAY ATTENTION.

I'm not buying any pollution credits from or for anybody. The day that happens will be the tipping point. They start taxing the air, and anarchy will be the order of the day. The only prep you'll need is a healthy supply of food, tools and ammo.

Once you get that so called anodized finish of it, get some of this, couldn't be any worse thanwhat it looks like now..
