Tuning keys are at the store, I'll go pick them up on Friday.

I was going to get grovers, but the price was too much and I got the same thing from gotoh for cheaper.

Why didn't you just buy pots from Warmoth?

I would guess it had to do with the exchange rate.  Also, this kid is on a tight budget, he's getting stuff as he goes.

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Very true. Next year when I try making some basses, i'll see if I can build the money to pay all in one big lot.

Thanks to Warmoth and you guys here in the forums. Warmoth Rules.

Glad it turned right!  :icon_biggrin:
One more guitar building nerd  :laughing7:

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

I set it up properly just before, now it sounds awesome! It's got a really nice tight, bright, crunchy tone then on the clean channel, it's still bright but just warm enough to be twangy and poppy.

Did you lower the FR nut?

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

there was no need to, what I really have to do is sand the pickup ring down some more, and then lower the bridge. Then it will be super fast.
