    Strat alternate jack out - not tilted or edge of body even - does it exist?

    Hi Plugs on GeorgeL are shorter than most other types, and become like hidden in cavity for outlet. I have to pull in cable which is not good even in short term with these cables. But angled GeorgeL plug just straight up jack could work not being higher than knobs and run into whammy bar. Any...

    Mooer Pure Boost +20 dB clean boost - more like +2 dB - but not bad dist pedal!

    Hi I was presented with Xotic RC boost in a store some weeks ago, without trying it out being $250. So was curious on Mooer which was said to have RC boost in mind as designed. And like $50 in price. So was looking for clean boost to possibly raise sc pups to hb level for pedal board purposes...

    Each pedal on pedalboard - connector in/out+true bypass - how much capacitance added?

    Comparing going direct to a HiZ input on a mixer from guitar or through all 9 devices/pedals. A couple of GeorgeL and a couple some other 15-30 cm cable. There is a tiny edge lost in highs and trying to see what can be optimized. Thinking each connector add capacitance apart from cord itself...

    Strat 5-pos switch - bend towards body - did anybody do it?

    Re: Strat 5-pos switch - bend towards body - did anybody do it? I keep updating if I try other options. I had a Mex Tele a short while, but also had issues with neck pos of that position of switch, so got rid of it shortly after. Reason for me not going the traditional Tele way, was that I...

    Strat 5-pos switch - bend towards body - did anybody do it?

    I keep hitting this switch, sometime to change position, from 5 to 4. Half strumming kind of playing. Volume knob is already below pick guard. I just want extra space where switch is too. Thought bending it sideway 90 degrees, downwards, or something? I have two pliers, and one can hold...

    Both HB and SC guitars switching - how does it affect you pedal board?

    I just got my first SC guitar, a Strat with 59's pickups. So levels are so different, and it affect settings in compressor, and amp if not hb etc. An extra compressor and use either depending on guitar? But not used 100% of the time, so amp need adjustment too. Or a general boost pedal first...

    Stratocaster vintage tremolo - best detailed description how to set up?

    Fender description on site was very brief to make the coins drop how it works - for me anyway. I had a jazzmaster long ago, but never like that tremolo. So try again with a Strat and what they call syncronized tremolo. A lot of flush to body, adjust 6 screws - but unclear if to hold tremolo...

    Fender Strat american - room under pickguard in cavity for stacked pots - how much?

    Hi Probably am 50's series or am pro Strat. Looking at doing a mod with stacked pots for tone controls so I can move volume down from original spot. Will use one like this - but probably 2 x 250k linear or whatever is original for tone pots...

    Fender Strat - how much do they change year by year on models?

    In my view Gibson make some weird choices how they vary models, like just for the sake of being different. One year Grover tuners, another year Kluson - and big difference even there in tone IMO. Stupid automatic tuners even that weigh a ton. Introducing yet other versions of Les Pauls and...

    Reverse body Strat - how about that - Fender or other - is this why Hendrix did it?

    Just had my battles with Fender controls being in the way of my playing, volume seems to suddenly be gone and similar. Same with Jazzmaster I had, it had to go - I even removed volume and put it under pick guard. And thought about the reversed body, with controls on top instead? Did you do it...

    Wah - are there any that are noisy and gritty anymore - I find them so polished?

    Hi Sort of became a Wah day and looked around YT quite a bit. Reason for looking was the last one I got - EHX Cock fight plus. One idea I had was for a video to create sound of wind - felt wah would be perfect. Variation with pedal of a windy day, no playing just noise. Maybe just dragging pick...

    Talk Tele's to me!

    Re: Talk Tele's to me! As budget one could look at Squier Vintage Modified series. I have a Custom with a wide range and a duncan design in bridge. I only swapped bridge for a 6-piece, I cannot intonate properly with 3-piece. If budget is there - look at Shawbucker Tele(american professional...
