Having issues with a mystery buzz/rattle on my parts P-bass I built in 2021. (Warmoth neck, MIM Fender body). Some months ago, I started noticing a buzz/rattle just hitting a low F note on the first fret of the low E. I adjusted the truss rod and tried a few different amounts of relief but no...

While fitting a neck into the body I just received, the neck pocket was a bit too snug. I didn't force it and backed off, but apparently I did just enough to cause a very small finish crack on the treble side of the neck pocket, I think just in the clearcoat. Crack is teeny, but don't want this...

Body and neck just arrived today! So happy with how this body came out. Honey burst over the black korina looks so good. A little bit darker than I expected but I think it looks fantastic. Burst is subtle with the darker color and the wild korina grain. Got a Hipshot fixed bridge and going to...

I did my own level and re-crown on my Wamorth Strat project and mostly the guitar is playing way better with way less buzz. However, I am having a localized buzz I'm trying to diagnose, and trying to see if I'm on the right track. The 9th fret on the high E string has a bad buzz with a sitar...

Here's my recently re-configured and re-assembled Strat that's been a project over the last couple of years. The guitar started as a Black roasted swamp ash body and a roasted maple showcase neck- see last photo for what this looked like when first assembled. I always intended this project as a...

I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on my long-planned hollow carved-top Telecaster build. Here's where I'm landing with the specs and wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my plan here. Anything obvious I'm missing here? High level specs (full specs below): Carved top hollow...

I have been considering a Mooncaster build for ages, but I've seen a lot of discussion here about the lack of good case options. That's been giving me pause, but lately I've been wondering if a high end gig bag would be a better solution. I admit I've always been a hardshell case or nothing...

Okay so I have an HSS Strat build that I put together a while ago that's had a few lingering small issues I'm looking to finally address. This one probably isn't a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy. Totally assembled, I've noticed a hump or warping in the center of the pickguard...

Okay so I was intonating my Warmoth Strat with Gotoh 510 trem bridge and I was a bit sloppy and stripped out one of the screws a bit (the longer intonation screws rather than the tiny screws for adjusting saddle height). I'm trying to determine the correct screw to replace the stripped one (or...

So I have been putting together my first build this year- an HSS Strat. I decided I'd prefer the look of the bridge humbucker with a metal pickup cover, so I covered the pickup myself. It looks great and mostly sounds great, but I'm having hum/noise issues with the (covered) bridge pickup. I...
