I've intonated my guitars many times without any issues, but I never had to adjust the truss rod. Always at the bridge. Recently, I took apart and modified a couple guitars (new tuners, and a replaced tone pot on the guitar in question) After reassembling it, and puting some fresh strings on...

Posting this before bed, so I'll see what you guys say tomorrow. Anyway, I was wondering if, instead of pole pieces connecting to a bar magnet, I could just flip the magnet on its side and use it as a single long pole piece Might be stupid. I dunno. My little drawing of the idea: So, two...

Re: Cheap guitar, fixing up. Big issue. Here's a pic of the bridge. The missing screws have been found.. I think my brother messed with it a few years ago and took them out. They seem to block the way for the saddles to move their last couple millimeters though, so I thought about finding some...

Re: 2-way switch on/off (3pickup, 4volume, 4tone, 3 2-way switch) Yup, it was my internet. Got off and switched to LTE and it worked (I think?) So, here's how I drew the wiring. I think there's quite a bit of grounding wire on the master volume with this drawing though, so I would probbalyl...

Been delving as deep as I can into creating my own personalized guitar (in the not too distant future). Basic specs of guitar (skip this for the important bit) Headstock: -Gotoh locking tuners (3/side) Neck: -24 frets (24.75" scale length) -jumbo frets -locking nut (comes with Floyd rose)...
