Run screws through the body just far enough that they're barely poking through, then put the neck in the pocket so that it looks right and everything lines up. Then give the neck a little bang with your hand to mark the back of the neck with the sharp parts of the screws. Should give you a...

I could get along with any of those guitars I think. Strandberg's have always fascinated me - how do you find the neck?

+1 Also haven't listened to them in years. For some reason, they were living in the back of my mind as early punk, therefore crappy guitar tones. That does sound pretty decent though.

Weird pickup rings that are hard to find would be cool. Like conversion rings: I'd love a conversion ring to allow me to mount a firebird pickup in a humbucker slot too.

I wonder if there's a coating or sealer or something that you could put over the leather to make it stiffer.

There are not enough amps offered in clown vomit livery.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

I prefer flat poles with any fretboard radius if you're using a plain rather than wound G string.

If fully dried/cured, you should be good to use aqua coat over an oil based stain.

I really want to tolex my amp and cab in pink now.

Nice tunes! I particularly liked the bends in the riffs in April showers and the harmonized little solo bit near the end of Unsure.

I used aqua coat - which is a clear water based grain filler (after drying it's compatible with pretty much any paint/finish that I was interested in) and it worked well. It requires several applications and sanding if you want to get glass smooth. Stain is supposed to work over aqua coat, but...

Yep. Only singles and humbuckers in this house.

It can look cool, but when the gunk builds up enough it actually makes the fretboard kinda sticky and I find it becomes harder to do bends and vibrato . . . so it has to be cleaned off. It's WAAAAAY easier and less time consuming to clean off a poly fretboard than an oiled one.

Hah. I like the colour scheme. Pink tolex with yellow front? Yes please! Other than being overpriced, they look super cool. Wouldn't expect it to sound like the Sex Pistols . . . but why would you? The Sex Pistols weren't popular because they sounded good.
