Where can I find more info. on SD 500k potentiometers? If you own one, can you measure - the total height of the pot. and just the threaded part in mm and the number of splines (coarse or fine)?

Hey Folks, Just spent a while searching for tips on how to drill a hole into a finished guitar body. Not much info. out there that I could find. I want to drill a hole into a semi hollow body for a coil split switch. I really don't like push/pull pots and it took me a lot of time and money...

Can someone enlighten me on the technique Barney Kessel is using to hit the harmonics so fast at the 7 second mark? I can get to them pretty quick, but I am sticking my index finger out to dampen the strings. Is there another technique using the thumb knuckle or something that cuts down on the...

I'd love to try one out. Looking for used. LMK if you have one. I also have plenty to trade.

Hey Folks, Recently, I learned a few jazz songs and play out of a Mesa 5:25 - clean channel, no pedals, just a touch of reverb. I am looking to experiment on my hollow body Epiphone Casino Coupe by dropping a single coil in the neck, so I have a dogear to single coil pickup ring on the way...

Hi Folks, I am working on a project for my brother who is retiring in a little less than 2 years. He wants to start playing guitar again once that happens. He gave me my first guitar lessons many many years ago. He told me recently his favorite guitarist is Barney Kessel. So I decided to make...

Help! I just noticed one of the knobs on my Les Paul is cracked.

While folks were enjoying their chocolate eggs, Dr. Crane was busy performing elective surgery. I picked up a pair of Gibson MHS pups for a handsome price and couldn't wait to hear them in the new SG. One of the hurdles was converting the 2 conductor pups to the new fangled Gibby 5 pin. Ignoring...

Inspired by the looks of an SG Special hanging on the wall of Guitar Mart, I sat down and played all 3 SGs in the store. I did not like the pups of the Special or the neck on the 2018 Standard, but the '61 Reissue was just about right. The Reissue was $1150 and the new Standard was $1450. I...

I have gas for an SG, and just beginning to research them. I found an excellent thread on these forums, but it is about 17 years old and needs an update ! I'm had my fingers on the trigger for a '61 reissue, BUT recently found the 2017 Standard T model online specs - and they look good...

Re: Jensen Jet Blackbird 10" 100-Watt Alnico Speaker 8 Ohm New pics. This is the only thing I have left up for sale right now.

I wrote this about 10 years ago. It never saw the light of day. And still won't unless I find a bassist, vocalist and lyricist. I'm very lucky to have found a drummer on craigslist (whom I never met irl yet) willing to put some time into it. Let me know what you think. If you're feeling randy...
