i just stuck a TC Electronic Bona Fide buffer pedal on my board and holy crap the difference. Its super high imp in low out and its a night and day difference. Much clearer, much more treble coming through (perhaps almost too much if im honest). Im still tweaking things to really dial in the...

A couple more light coats of tru-oil wiped on with a super light 320 grit scuff up in between. From here, I will wet sand with tru-oil, which works to apply and buff in 200-grit increments up to maybe 1200 or 1400 grit. I won't post any more pics until all that is done because it isn't going to...

The kids and I ploughed ahead with the true oil. We wiped on a couple of thin coats on the top and binding to seal so I could do the back (alder). Reverse taped the top from the binding with a couple of rags to protect it. We used tru-oil tinted with Mixol copper metallic and did the back and...

Update today before some potential afternoon storms move in. Finished getting the stain nice and dark and saturated. Let it bake in the sun for 4 hours to dry and then sanded back with 600 grit. I might give it a couple more passes, not sure yet but I'm pretty close to the washed out/faded denim...

I have a tele body I did a while back that has been sitting around, and now that the weather is better, I've started finishing it with the kiddos. Trying something a little different, going for a faded blue finish.We sanded down to 400 grit, taped off some nice natural binding, and tru-oiled it...

Does anyone have a set of tele or strat Fender tex-mex pups kicking around? I really like these and need something that won't break the bank for a couple of projects I have been procrastinating on.

I grabbed a set of Red Devils from our own ArtieToo and finally got around to installing them a week ago. I am now finally getting around to a brief write-up. The guitar is a self-made and finished strat body (alder) and a Warmoth all pau ferro unfinished neck. I play mostly through a 5E3...

Re: desert island pedal Thought more about this and TS9 is a stupid choice for desert island because the whole premise assumes I have an amp which i can turn up loud to get crunch. With that said i think i would have to take this:

Anyone got a set of Livewire II Classic strat pups? Been missing mine for a while now and it might be time to replace them. Also looking for a neck and bridge 4 conductor 59 set in nickel. Would take a PGn instead of the 59n if need be. Lemme know.

How exactly does this work? Now obviously if you just looked at it knowing nothing about electronics you would think setting the volume would set the output regardless of the input. However, as we know, this is not the case. Why not? Specifically, im talking about my Ross clone. I run it after...

I recently scored a set of antiquity texas hots on ebay for a great price. Does anyone have any experience if they work better in alder or swamp ash strats? Or it doesnt matter? Just kinda wondering if there are any strong opinions out there. Im not looking for in general, A2 mags work better in...

You can read the origins of this if you havent already here. Anyways, just arrived today. Super happy with the choice of the spruce top. I think its going to look pretty cool with an all natural finish. I shot these with my iphone inside so that explains the half assed quality. Ill get my wife...
