Found wood Much dust for one neck Tung Oiled Squire 60s CV MIC not much to write home about. Alder body , pups say Fender, hardware is junk but it is wired up nice and neatly Even at $120 bucks off I feel like I spent $100 too much on it , might have got something I liked better in a Vintage...

I would buy this guitar , probably already has people lined up at the door at 8am http://richmond.craigslist.org/msg/4721399091.html

This just makes no sense to me. It is a Schecter Diamond Series Omen Active guitar in factory setup when I got it to work on. Did the usual clean and lube , string and intonate. This is where the saddles ended up and some of them are still flat Just plain crazy and against the laws of physics.

Looks pretty nice , only a few upgrades would be needed.No idea what the price will be though. http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/2014/Ltd-Ed-2014-Tak-Matsumoto-DC-Custom-Outfit.aspx?utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Epiphone&utm_content=NEWS%3A+Slash

My first try at changing rosewood to ebony , used an iron with steam on high took about 30 min total. Got it hot and used the scraper/putty knives to slide under board starting at the 22nd fret and working back to the nut. Can only heat about a third of it at a time and a bolt on neck seems to...

Anyone used one of these 6 way toggles ? The Jimmy Page switch has 6 positions for 3 pups original intention at least. I am going to put a 3rd mini humbucker into my Vox so we are going to need some switching options. The schematic is for a Les Paul with 2 vol and 2 tones , I only have 1 of...

I love the Planet Waves Trim Lok tuning machines but don't really care for the knobs that much. Always been a fan of the keystone knobs that came on my Les Paul , so I went and found some keystone knobs on evilbay. Turns out they used several different screws for the PW tuners and they weren't...

A month later and we have new pickups ! Lindy Fralin P-92 set , Bridge 9.4k neck 8.4k And now for something completely different !

My friend went out on a limb and bought a 1970 EA-250 MIJ . Guitar has some minor issues but is mainly for working on and upgrading his skills. Pickups are pretty decent sounding and it is a hollowbody , no block I can reach at least. 300 bucks plus shipping , not the best deal ever but not...

Just seems like every time I go to record something there is always some new issue to fix. Might be my crappy 8 track Tascam DP-01FX , or my ancient mic cords. Might be the horrible headphones I took out of the garbage? Anyway making an effort to put up some samples of my 335 build with the Pure...

More new guitars in this year then any year of my life Vox SDC 22 Double Cutaway used condition 2 from MF for $339.99 came with a Tusq XL nut so I am happy , weird tuning machine knobs and wraparound kind of bridge. Took 10 min to set it up and intonate,former owner jacked the bridge pup up...

Don't have a guitar with mini humbuckers thinking about maybe modding one or buying one. Would really like a Firebird with 3 of them but that is waay out of my price range. Have been looking around at various guitars and pups , you guys are the experts give me some thoughts.

Just doing some work on a few pretty miserable guitars today that have never had any maintenance done on them at all and was wondering why ? Not good to start with an Axl Strat, Aria Pro II Strat , and an Oscar Schmidt acoustic that got drowned. If I had them I would have done some simple...
