    What does the EMG 81 do?

    This got me wondering so I had to check my EMGs dates and find out what was the cutoff date for the op amp more precisely. This is the post in the thread you're referring to...

    An electric guitar crafted entirely from sheets of newspaper.

    Reminds me of this Polish company Ruf Guitars I've seen a video of recently. They use Richlite for the fretboard, but the guitars are all one piece molded from Ruffaine, some kind of proprietary epoxide composite. https://www.rufguitars.com/ ​​​​​​​

    Acoustic euphoria

    Maybe an early 70s Martin D12-18. I have a Nagoya Japan made 1977 Suzuki Three's F180 12 string dreadnaught which is kinda based on the Martin. Of the acoustics I have, it just stands out. Woods are exceptional, neck feels great, it has it's wear and tear but it just sings.

    YANPD - Yet Another New Project Day - Headless edition

    Took some time after dinner to finish the fret ends on the new neck. The difference in feel is night and day. Hard to take a pic of the feel, but here's a before/after.

    YANPD - Yet Another New Project Day - Headless edition

    Update: neck and tuners arrived. Tuners could be smoother, but I suspect it's solvable with a little cleaning and grease-up. The locking works so I guess I can't complain for the price. I'll have to slightly widen the holes on the headstock, but so slightly, a piece of sandpaper around a pen...

    Weird string arrangement on the nut - why?

    So I've been looking (as always) at some used deals on whatever, and came across a Squier affinity P bass. I'll just post a pic of what made me go "whaaaa?", so if anyone more experienced could guess as to the reasoning for this type of stringing. Is there a possible legit reason or is the...

    Whats your LIGHTEST guitar?

    Squier CV50s alder Strat in "Flooded basement" natural finish - 3.1kg (~6.8lbs). So basically it's lighter than my LP copy which has no hardware/pups/anything in it currently, just a body with a neck. When I assemble that thing, I'll be sure to open a "What's your heaviest guitar" thread...

    EART Guitars - anyone with first-hand experience?

    First bass project - P style pickup recommendations

    Finally, the pup's here, so we're almost good on parts. I'll add the mini dpdt on/on/on when it gets here, for 0.1uF/0.047uF/direct-to-output, as per my wishes and Arties extremely helpful diagram (tnx again!). For the mini switch, I'm thinking between the pots on the pickguard. Fitment of...
