Hi folks Hope everyone is doing well... I have been watching a lot of European videos on You Tube where they are renovating old buoldings. Bringing them back to life. When it comes to the old hardwood floors, a lot of the renovators swear by Osmo Products to put a finish and polish on the...

When you check out guitar repair and used guitar sites, quite often you see a certain brand of guitar starting with "G" being described as having a headstock repair. Now while those repairs, if done professionally & competently will solve the issue, the original manufacturing has been found...

I'm just asking a naive question. I know for single coils they recommend 250k pots and for humbuckers it's 500k. And in cap size it's generally .047 for single coils & humbuckers .022. I 'get' that it's 500k/.022 for humbuckers because that's a double equation to the single coil formula &...

Davey's World of Fun Stuff is a Canadian guy fixing up guitars/basses for folks. He comes across as grumpy but really, he just gets fed up with overkill. Anyways, he's got a Warmoth Stratocaster on his bench that wasn't set up well when it was assembled. The shim drives him nuts...   ...

2019 Gibson SG61 Reissue with Maestro Lyre Vibrola So I got GAS, relented and bought this guitar. Here's an early photo of it, straight out of the box. No, the Vibrola doesn't return to pitch as well as a Floyd Rose or even a Strat, but I have a Strat & two Warmoths for any serious...

Hi everyone Hope you are well safe & healthy from these challenging times. I'm looking at a Strat copy. It's a sentimental prospect as it's a replica of my first electric guitar. The guitar is Strat shaped with 3 single coil pickups but it has a Jaguar bridge & tailpiece/tremolo instead of the...

I was on a reddit forum for a band I follow and the discussion came up about the gear the guitarist's use. I noticed in this band's case that both guitarists use guitars that have the same neck scale length (25"). Previously the rhythm guitarist had played a guitar that was 24.75" neck scale...

Attached below is official Australian Govt announcement re: change in CITES & the need for permits. The Rosewoods we musicians like to see on fretboards will no longer require a Permit under the CITES Treaty, to import into Australia from 26 November 2019. So long as it is a musical...

Hi all... I am in the process of getting what pedals I have, up off the floor and being set as permanently as possible into rack mounted sliding shelves. Reason being: my back is ageing more than me and I hate interrupting the workflow, bending down & re-patching pedals in or out and /or...

I have not seen anyone do this, was wondering if there's an issue with roasting a mahogany neck like is done to the maple necks?  :dontknow: Would give it a darker patina...and may make it a bit stiffer out of the box? Just curious why other neck woods haven't been roasted?

I hope some electrically minded folks could help me here with a question... Paging Cagey & Mayfly perhaps? The input of a guitar amp, where you plug your guitar.... What does it want to 'see' as in input level? Unity gain (0 dB)? +4dB, +10dB...? Reason I'm asking is I have 3 guitar 'amp'...

Last Saturday I was in a local guitar shop asking about Fender Australia's stand on the rosewood issue.... whether any updates on the issue had been given to retailers. Nope no news there and the guy seemed think it's a non issue as such a large distributor would just bunker down and do the...

A Faraday Cage is what guitarists attempt to achieve when they shield cavities with copper tape etc. I saw this article and thought it might be of some interest to folks here.... https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/may/22/michael-faraday-lost-better-call-saul-genius?CMP=soc_568

I wonder if Warmoth would consider doing a Mooncaster Bass Guitar body....Same construction to their guitar Mooncaster....with both short scale (30 & 32") & long scale (34") variants? :icon_thumright:

OK this will be  a bit of a rant about Tone Pots and their function..... I

Video here shows the switch. Connectors might be tight through some narrow routings though. 3w_YUTlBTlM

I was just doodling around on the Warmoth site's guitar body creator & noticed you could get a  Mooncaster body without F Holes but the lower toggle switch does not have a backplate. Does anyone have any idea how you would get a toggle switch into that position, without even the benefit of a...

Marc Bolan had a favourite guitar. A Les Paul that was a road warrior but also used in studio. During the time he had it, it had undergone some mods, the most noticeable being a replacement neck after the one on it during his early days was damaged. The guitar went missing (allegedly stolen) at...

As the Thread Topic suggests...... 30, 32 & 34" options? :glasses9:

I hope this is kosher with the Mods. It's an article that popped up in my Twitter timeline this morning from Premier Guitar. The guy who wrote it took to task the attitude of players and tone. Stripped it right down to asking what IS Electronic music? Just thought I'd share it here...
