Just re-bought the PATB 1 set online after foolishly selling them in a guitar many moons back. These used to come with their own rings IIRC.....do they still do so??

Re: Building replicas without copyright infringement? Case in point........this SG. Based on a 65 ish era special the body looks pretty stock from the front But you look closer and its a neckthru design......but with the 70's sort of headstock size and with a volute And I've done a simply...

Re: Opinions on the Fender Alternate Reality Sixty-Six Looks somewhat similar to an offset shape I've been working on for my own build:

Re: Help me choose maybe my last ever guitar Your last guitar ever.......

Re: Curlymaple.com Yes, fully legit. I've been buying wood off them for a few years for my builds. Their wood is some of the most economical flame tops for guitars I've come across. I usually go for the Private Stock category, where you can pick up some incredible tops for $50 give or take...

Re: Issues with Jimi Hendrix pickup set in 2017 lefty Fender Mex Strat Trim some wires in there....and tidy the routing and positioning of them too. You should be aiming to get something like this: It is sounding like the switch wiring is the culprit......like you've not got the common tab as...

Re: Flying V Glory My 2 V's........both very traditional in shape. The 'Korina' looking one is actually made from different woods that just look similar to white Korina (as well as being very light!) It is made to every vintage spec I had tools and materials for.......including tinting the...

Typically an OOP switch is single throw double pole.....to give you regular then reverse phase operation. However if you wired it with an on/on/on switch would that give you regular phase/off/reverse phase??

Re: Buying Guitars - Mint Or Relic'd Condition? Precisely what relics are.....just another finish option. People seem to have their own personal identity and status as a player somehow invested in how their guitar looks - when its the playing that really counts. I'll admit that, despite...

Re: Your favourite “burst”? Re: Your favourite “burst”? This is a virtually unplayed 58 found not long back.......always kept in the case.

Re: A good Les Paul... priceless I have several Gibsons.....but many more 'gibson burst clones' since I've strated scratch building. It would be great to live in the US and right handed.....but I'm neither and historics just don't get to where I am - so I have taken to making them. Luckily for...

Re: You gotta hand it to Leo Fender Like this?? Its nice and it plays really well. The scale length is still a contributing factor IMO

Re: What is your best looking guitar? Thanks for the likes all. I am a full-on vintage tone nut. So most of my pickups have gone to total boutique snobbery level (not to say that I can't appreciate the few Duncans I have loaded in other guitars - mostly hybrids now). So with that disclaimer...

Re: What is your best looking guitar? Its either this LP that I am in the process of building up, Or maybe this strat that I have just finished...... But I've got a lot of contenders

Re: Cabronita wiring help Glad it was sorted. Is it just a stock humbucker type, or have you gone for the filtertron type?? This is my own somewhat skewed version of the type:
