Finally found a reamer tool today..... When i worked for a short time doing small repair jobs at a guitar store they saw me using a drill to widden the hole for a larger shaft pot.... They told me to never use the drill and use this thing called a reamer... It's a tappered metal shaft that can widen holes by hand safer then power tools.... The tool the shop had is about 10 inches long... has a nice long tapper shaft to it... They can't find them anymore and i have been looking for one like it! saddly the one i found is about 5 inches long and goes from 1/8 up to 7/8th holes.... The shop uses theirs for making pot holes and tuner holes larger... Saddly with the shorter reamer i have i don't think it will be good for tuners but should be great for pots and stuff....WhoFan

Alright, so I got a Dimebucker for my Les Paul, and I attempted to wire it up myself... well, everything went fine until I noticed that the pickup would gradually lose and then regain volume, I fooled around and found out that it was the volume pot causing the trouble... we've got a show coming up in about a week and a half, and we needed to practice so I said quot;I'll just bypass it for now and I'll get a new volume pot in a few days and replace itquot;.

My guitar has 3 individual switches instead of a blade. I was thinking of maybe get a 3 position toggle switch and use the mini toggles as splits! This way it'd enable me to get SCsized humbuckers in the neck and middle (I prefer SC sounds there).
I was thinking of a Little Screamin' Deamon (a friend of mine has it in his strat and it's AMAZING. Sure Alder is brighter than basswood but with the midbooster is should compensate?) on the neck and a cool rails on the middle. How do you think they would sound split?

My son has been playing for almost 2 years and has accomplished a great deal in that time.

Man, I want this so bad....

My MIM strat has some REALLY jagged string height allen set screws. What do you guys do to smooth these things out? These things are ripping apart the heel of my picking hand.

A really hot and humid gig...most of the audience listened from outside the pub and most of the time I was out of it because of the heat

What is the sound you hear on this 2004 American Series strat?

This is what Ive been working on lately. About 12 years ago my first guitar was a Ibanez EX HSS White, strat type trem, normal average neck. Just a basic guitar. Well, the mod bug bit me back then and I dug out one of the singles (with a drill and chisel ..) to put in a neck hum, then I found a cheap floyd copy and stuck that on, never even considering intonation! What? whats that? Well, I gave that guitar to a friend who could really play well but had no axe...so about 4 years ago I found another white EX on ebay and snagged it. It has always hung on the wall, because it wasnt a great player. Ok, heres the story...
I found this old Japanese Ibanez recently with a KILLER slim, bound ebony board neck and a EDGE trem. The wheels were turning! The neck wasnt even a close fit, I had to do alot of shimming, trimming, setting and resetting to get it working. The trem had to be moved forward about a half inch to work and have the posts reset and the body opened up. I got that all dialed in finally with some super low action.

How many of you have modified your pole-pieces? Is it as easy as unscrewing the ploe-piece all the way out, shortening, and then screw back in?
