Nice work!

Stewmac sells angled shims. If you sand it, it's probably better to sand the neck than than the pocket?

Hmm, pretty vanilla in my world, always pleased to hear an LoL & You're welcome, and back at ya girlfriend! Lacking an option, I'm sure you've caught wind of the downsides. I'll play an E add9 this morning with you in mind. <mod edit earlier post of image deleted. Please refrain from posting...

I can't say that it's best practice. However, here's how I undertook it. I carved a thin suitable plate that fit the cavity. Because I had no desire to ever sell, I then drilled up the mounting holes to #6 clearance, secured the pickup to that, and adjusted rear shims behind the plate to get a...

Pity as it's mine, you're right, you can't ;-)

Finish work has been on hold for a week for a few reasons, one of which is I've been stuck for how to bring tung up to gloss without going over it with nitrocellulose. I think I've hit on a good solution (pun intended). We've been keeping bees for a little over a year, and one of the things we...

I was thinking about them for my soloist build and decided against because I've already got 2 axes, with 2 more by the end of the year. As great as it would be to have an e that I didn't have to spin and spin to make a change, and E, g that didn't have to be tuned with fractions of a degree...

Nice work Trevor! and a small nit-pic, is that "kapton" tape? I've used that in a few applications over the years and the color matches, I've never seen a flavor of PTFE with that color.

Yep, for a custom I'll be receiving late this year :-)

What Ned said, + you can test on your guitar's cavities (if those are also mahogany anyway). Since it comes in a pretty wide range of color, that can help. For tinting, I'd say get a dye concentrate, dilute (I like isopropanol for that) and start well diluted, increasing 'til you get the...

Responding to y'all's tag lines, Fernando see beautiful wood below! Alex, since 1984, in the Unix world, "less" became a more featured version of "more". From Wikipedia: (Both are programs that display text a page at a time)

Damn nice work!

It must be the photos, I read the e side as marginally better than the E side.

As always, spectacular work. That's a beautiful burst you have working there. You continue to lead the pack in beautiful finish work @Seb :-)

I would say it's unkind to the manufacturer, sure. The only thing that matters is does the player like the sound, well maybe their listeners is also important. Great sound can be achieved a lot of different ways, and these pickups may well deliver as promised. As I said, I don't see how, on the...

I didn't have time to weigh in b4, super glad to hear you solved this one the easy way! Beyond topic, I'll be curious how you like these pickups?! I looked over their product description and briefly read one patent (for a different model), had these thoughts: "current driven vs voltage driven"...

Nice job Megatron! That's a beautiful guitar! Nice work across the board this month! 🤘

I guess it's been 6 months since I finished this, and as we live in a small apartment, this rig has spent that time mostly at "2". We're in Vermont for the weekend and staying at a place that has no neighbors for a mile on north side, so with permission of the Airbnb owner, this was my...

Either way, I'd do all the finishing steps first. Your high humidity is likely the problem, maybe give things time to equilibrate before adjusting.

Oh and sorry, I misspelled, it's actually GuitariX. I found this rundown, most aren't free however https://alternativeto.net/software/guitarix/?platform=mac
