    Here is an ash guitar I just finished. It's solid all the way through and ways a million pounds but it sure looks good!

    what glue did you use to put those two halves together? Looks like it's coming along. Ash is so dang heavy and hard. But if you're willing to put in the work it can be great. If you're ever up for it, try making an ash guitar but with a chambered body. It cuts down the weight a ton but the ash...

    Saddle alignment on a tele

    Thanks for all the feedback. Let me start by saying, yea, you're right. A flat screw is the best solve. Now that I'm back home I went and looked through my handful of teles. All modern ones that I've built. They all have domed screws. It's never been an issue because the screws are so close to...

    Saddle alignment on a tele

    I'd prefer to keep all of the period correct parts together if possible. Doesn't seem ridiculous to me.

    Saddle alignment on a tele

    the only other idea I had, was to partially back out the left saddle grub screw on the low E saddle that is riding the screw head. That way it could sit in the right place without me having to change the screws. I'm out of town right now but will play with it this weekend and report back. Thanks...

    Saddle alignment on a tele

    What's a good amp switching pedal?

    My dear friend Chat, which I hate, but I still use, confirmed that there are such magical pedals but they are not cheap and impedance and something else. I'll just move my fat butt up and switch cords when I need to
