If I take my neck off for a month, is it normal that I'd need to readjust it when I put it back on? It's a double action truss rod neck from warmoth. ( I think) I thought those were more stable. The bummer is that the adjustment is at the heel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone ever tried one of these humbucker to tele bridge conversion mounting rings? And why is the pickup installed backwards? Does it matter soundwise? And I'm not sure the pickup will be spaced the same distance from the bridge compared to a regular tele bridge setup. Might sound less...

Does anyone have any experience with the Vintage V52 tele? I only saw one posting it wasn't only about the V52 so I thought I'd post again. I've been looking for a tele and today on Musician's friend they had a 'stupid deal of the day' for the G&L tribute ASAT Classic with ash body. $299...

Hi, I recently changed the volume and tone controls on my TeleJr. It came with 1Meg pots for both and while the neck sounded great, the bridge was too bright for my tastes. So I bought a 500k volume (solid shaft) and a 250k no-load tone control. I just thought I'd try the no-load tone...

Okay, this is my 1991 Ibanez 540s. It does metal really well and I'm happy with the resonance and sound, but I'm a little disappointed now that I've realized something. I wanted to put a hum cancelling single coil in the neck and in order to do so I needed to route out some wood to make space...

Hey everyone, I changed strings on my Warmoth the other night. I wanted to try some brighter strings so I went from GHS nickel rockers to DR tite fit strings. Actually maybe I had DR pure blues on before. Anyway, now that I've changed strings, I have a lot of buzzing on the frets. The guage...

I took the neck off of my MIJ strat the other day and found these codes: ST-857V 5_Q Does anyone know what they mean? The underscore on the second row is an illegible character so that's why I put that there. The markings are black and seem like they were stamped Thanks!

Hey everyone, Happy New Year! A few months ago I bought a MIJ strat which I really like. After I bought it I realized that even though I can play it just fine, the string alignment is off! The strings are parallel to the neck, but the space from the low E to the edge of the fretboard is much...

Hello everyone, I need some opinions on a MIJ fender strat that I played the other day. The guitar itself (neck and body) seemed in very good shape. But under high gain it squealed a lot. I think the pickups were stock, but it seems like the previous owner did make some changes. For example...

A while ago I had my computer set up with Cakewalk Home Studio, some external hardware like a mixer, microphone and some effects, and I added an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 high fidelity audio accelerator card. Well, that computer crashed and now I have another computer. I've yet to put my home...

I don't know much about basses and my nephew wants to get one for school. What would be a good bass (or bass and amp starter kit) for a 9 year old? Shorter scale preferred and (by my brother-in-law's request) around $200.

If I put a stacked humbucker like the hot stack in the middle position and have a switch to split it, when split will it become RW/RP to be hum cancelling in positions 2 and 4 (with humbuckers in bridge and neck)?

Hey everyone, I have a simple question - I think. I know that when it comes to tube amps, having a lot of boost or increasing the signal that goes into the amp can be a good thing. But when it comes to solid state amps and from pedal to pedal, can the level be too much and therefore overload...

I'm in the process of revamping the electronics in my Ibanez 540s. I had a real tough time trying to remove the volume and tone knobs. I wanted to replace the pots so I really needed to get them off. Just pulling them off didn't work so I tried (very carefully) using a screwdriver - and that...

I want to replace one, some, maybe all of the regular screws in my JB and replace them with hex screws. Everyone seems to agree that if I at least change the low E screw for a hex screw that it will tighten up the bottom end. I have hex screws from an Ibanez pickup that was originally from the...
