So you press the TOM/TP studs into the body prior to finish? I think my LP was done this way (as is apparent by the finish over the studs) but my Mockingbird does not appear to have been built that way. Is there a right way to do it? I’d be concerned that pressing the studs in after finishing could damage the finish.

I was planning on just cutting the legs with the 90 degree left on the ears and slide them up and solder it on.Is this the simplest way ? I have a 40 watt iron ,will that get hot enough to solder pieces this size?

Hey Everyone.

what would it be????

i was just curious-a week ago i posted about the fender twin, etc, and jeff seal chimed in and explained the diff between blackface and silverface and how fender believed that distortion was characteristic of crappy amps.

My local tech called round my house earlier today as he's fixing up two of my amps and he wanted to bring me up to speed on his progress, as well as find out what I wanted him to do next.

Yeah so if some of you remember my floyd rose decided to go completely out of whack when I changed the strings last week. Anyways I only trust myself enough to make a few adjustments to floyds and get the thing level with the body. I don't really know anything about how to intonate them correctly or anything. I took it to a dude I know and let him do a complete setup... truss rod/intonate/saddle height, the works basically. Man the guitar feels like its brand new again. It plays absolutely perfectly. This also gave me the realization that floyds need a lot of constant maintenance to keep them playing properly(it had been 5 months since my last setup). My adjustments that I make to it are only to fix for the time being, but it really needs a proper adjustment more often than it gets.

And which is your favorite? I recently got the Texas Hots and was completely blown away.I had no idea how go singles could be.Along with the SFX-01 these things can do anything from a great clean to all out rock.I loved them so much I just grabbed a set of surfers and cant wait to try them too.The Pup Booster makes all the difference between clean a clear and being able to add a huge amount of gain and sound huge,I love it!

Still thinning out my Pedals...need room on my power-chain.

Does anyone have any Phat Cat clips? Preferably, in a Tele, but thats not critical.

I am considering installing a pair of these in a Strat in either a H/H pickguard, or in the neck and bridge with a single coil in the middle.

I played one about a month and half ago and totally fell in love with the nice defined smooth rock tone it came out with.. I played it ata guitar center under the vintage selection and i believe it was the Hiwatt D50L Head... i played it with a tele and a strat and It was the tone i had been looking for.

Well, since I'm getting my Marshall soon I've been thinking about getting a new instrument cable, because my old amp hums ALOT, and I suspect it to be the cable, because when the cable is disconnected there's almost no hum at all, and I don't want that with my new amp.

Hello,
I am looking to upgrade my Ibanez LR10 It's a 335 copy that I just love. I want to replace the pickups, but i need some help in deciding.

i remember reading in one of dan erlewine's books about using threaded inserts for easier attachment / detachment of a tele neck to a tele body ... i think the context was for travelling with the guitar ... detaching the neck for easier carrying in luggage ... the threaded inserts reduce wear and tear on the guitar's parts ... stew-mac didnt have them, but had plenty of different types ...

Plz, Any hum cancelling bridge pup sound samples.

Hey.... been wanting to make a custom neck for my Jackson for a long time..... I have a good 1 inch x 8 inch x 6 foot board of Mahogany i could use a piece of... and i have some fingerboards, truss rods, face dots and bulk frets.... In my batch of fingerboards i have one that is marked 24 3/4 scale... It has 24 fret slots..

I'm interested in building one of the 59/Custom hybrids that have been described in the other threads. I already have a Custom Custom, so I have the screw coil covered, but I need to purchase a 59 for the other coil. However, before I destroy a perfectly good (and more expensive) Duncan, I was thinking of trying the experiment with a cheaper GFS pickup.
