Does it come with beans? I like that, can’t wait to see the end result.

Fascinating...

“Kenny”, formerly the Bari-Tele, is such an animal. It was a blem GFS body for $45 that I knew I was going to cover with buckskin anyway. It’s now on its 2nd Warmoth neck with flawless results.

Like yellow mahogany

SS appears before the Fretwire designation. If there is no SS at the Fretwire designation, then your Fretwire is standard, not stainless. If SS appears elsewhere with no Fretwire designation with it, then you have a Gibson Conversion scale neck, but, even easier than that, if the fretboard...

Pure class! Toggle Switch Plate gold also?

Thank you kind sir, I’m honored.

OMG, the boxes, for the WIN!!!! Aside from the normal reason in this vid, I also get loads and loads of boxes from ordering parts for customers. I also accumulate a lot of parts that customers no longer want, so I save the boxes to either donate them or sell them.

This is my method.

Yes, the first pic, sorry.

Robertson actually just moved the middle pickup over closer to the bridge. Still just 5 positions on his. This takes it slightly further, but still retaining the option of a middle pickup voicing, and the choice of which/both bridge coils to use selectively, increasing selection options from 5...

In the pic, on the lower left side of the baseplate, is it contacting the wall of the cavity that you routed? If so, That is a friction point and could be causing the trem to not return to its “zero” position.

Check for contact at the lower bass side corner as depicted. I’m not sure, but I’m wondering if there is contact. If so, that’s a friction point. Additionally, you may need to lube the knife edges. And, is that a stress crack that I see behind the treble post?

SAV’s, love em, much warmer than the SA’s

If you're fully floating, that should be your primary setup, then if you're going to selectively Drop D, the Tremol No is best for this as it fixes the bridge from pulling sharp by absorbing the tension offset by dropping the E down to D. If you're gonna Drop D, you won't be able to fully float...

Did a thing to Nigel today. The goal was to keep this primarily Strat voiced, while occasionally enjoying the benefits of a hamburger in the bridge. So, rather than just throw a hamburger in the bridge position, I decided to add another hot dog, and give it some space between coils. The end...

Ditto for 2024!

Bite off more than you can chew, then start chewing, as I say.

I set up as a hard tail first, truss rod adjust, action, intonation, with the trem block and no springs, just string tension. Get the profile of the base plate close to dead flat perpendicular to the body face. Now it sits for a few days to let the neck “settle” under tension at pitch, From...

The Gotoh studs threaded right into the Ibanez bushings no problem. Now just a heavier low B string and 7 shorter Intonation lock screws are in order. I’ll keep my eye out for a set of 7 Lockmeister screws.
