    A couple recent builds.

    Thanks.

    Need a metric wrench.

    I've had that same kind of problem where I had to lightly file down an existing wrench to fit. Poor QC, or too wide of specs. Can be frustrating. At least you didn't pay much for those 3.5mm wrenches. And maybe you'll ACTUALLY need them someday.

    Cheap pickups that should suck but dont.

    I've got a lot of guitars with "cheap" pups in them that sound amazing. My favorite guitar is one I made about 15 years ago with GFS Dream 180 pups (comparatively cheap). Everyone without exception that has played it loves the sound. I was offered $10,000 for it but refused to sell because it...

    A2 in a JB what changes?

    For all those reasons I prefer the C5 than the CC or JB.

    Fender Blues Deluxe, vs Hot Rod Deluxe.

    Never heard of him before. Love his playing, but I've never heard anyone with such a narrow vocal range. Gets very tiring listening to the same three notes.

    Fender Blues Deluxe, vs Hot Rod Deluxe.

    The Swamp Thang is a great sounding spkr.

    Picked up a Leslie 18

    I love how the Leslie ramps up the speed (or down) when you click the switch. Almost brings tear to my eyes.

    Need a metric wrench.

    3.5mm is not really a rare size either individually or in a set. I have a set that is every half mm from 1.5 - 6, then an 8 and 10. What IS rare is the need for a 3.5mm.

    Compatible p-90 with Neck Pup in Telecaster

    Usually that hum would indicate a grounding issue not polarity or direction of wind. Just changing polarity or wind will give you out of phase sound (Peter Green or Brian May).

    A2 in a JB what changes?

    Bogner, Marshall, Vox, Egnater, and 3 others. The JB with any magnet sounds bad through all of my amps. Other pups sound great...even cheap pups.

    Fender Using Reclaimed Wildfire Wood

    I doubt it. You know how the guitar industry works...anything that's different (even if it's cheaper to make) comes at a higher retail price.

    5-way Strat Wiring Question...

    Of course, if the tone control only affects the bridge and middle pup it is technically not a "master tone". But why don't you want the tone pot to also be connected to the neck pup? Does it look similar to this one...

    Brightening a dark sounding humbucker with equalizer

    Absolutely!

    A2 in a JB what changes?

    It still sounds just as bad as a stock JB. When I first tried a JB I couldn't stand the horrible sound. I tried every magnet I had (A2, A3, A4, A6, A8). The A2 and A8 made the greatest difference in tone, but they still sounded just as bad as the original JB. I get why some people like the JB...
