Looking for a mini practice amp to jam with friends, something portable and quiet is ideal. I'm currently using a Marshall MG50fx which is just too big and loud for my use. I've been looking into the DSL1CR and the DSL5C (the older non R version). I'd prefer the DSL1CR just because of how small...
For those of you who play classical guitar or play a neck with no inlays (also no side markers), how do you find it affects your composition and improvisation? I’ve been thinking about ordering a neck without any position markers to try and stop thinking in terms of “connect the dots”. I’m...
I’m getting read to install a dimarzio clip lock strap, but I really want to put the strap button on the back of the horn rather than on the end. I like the look and balance better. Wondering if anyone would advise against this sort of arrangement? I’ll throw in a picture to show the location I...
My build this year was functionally meant to be the MK 2 of my build from last year, I wanted to perfect all the details I learned along the way and I think I’ve achieved that. Also picked some slightly different shapes and colours just to have something with a different vibe. Spec list:
Body...
For those of you who use threaded inserts for your neck attachment, which type do you prefer? I’m torn between the knife thread self tapping inserts and the the ez lok style that requires threads to be tapped. I’ve included a picture showing both side by side. My thinking is that the knife...
Just received my swamp ash alpine white strat body today (Yes you read that correctly, the mythical discontinued, alpine white). This neck will likely go to a different build but it did look great for the mock-up.
I’m looking for a hot PAF output bridge humbucker with a very mid focused bright sound. Something that with the right amp I can get from jimmy page to randy Rhoads. My current suspicion is the Dimarzio 36 bridge suits this the best but I’d love to hear more opinions and options on this. Guitar...
I’ve just tried out a Suhr Reb Beach model and the body had a natural oil finish. I really liked the feel of it. I’m wondering what they use if anybody here knows. Tung oil? Tru Oil? Something else? Any wisdom appreciated.
Picture of a body I have, what wood do you think this is? I think it’s ash but it’s hard for me to tell. The surface has a very light coat of wax applied making it a smidge darker than it would otherwise appear.
I’m wondering what action height everyone here sets up on warmoth necks. I’ve got an R10-16 that’s been fret levelled with action down to about 4/64ths @ 12th fret, could probably even lower it a bit. What does everyone here prefer?
The goal for this build was to be a very 80s inspired single humbucker, with the #1 concern that it had a decked floyd (resting against the body with no pull-up). I wanted to document this mostly for the sake of the floyd setup because hopefully if anyone else runs into this issue then they...
So I'm assembling my build and it's got a non recessed floyd route (angled pocket) and I'm using an OFR. When I installed the bridge and strung it up I noticed the action is unplayably low, it's touching the frets everywhere. In order to get the action playable, the bridge needs to be raised to...
I recently ordered a neck with the R4 prep with holes. Upon stringing up the guitar, it turned out the floyd nut was way too low. Should I have expected shims would be necessary or is this not normal?
