Re: New build - Right hand reverse strat Yes it's a string-through. Here's a pitcure of the birdge and the Schaller locking tuner. Why fixed bridge on a strat? I'm not the biggest fan of the vintage tremolo. I have one in my Yngiwe strat and I can manage but I'm more of a Floyd Rose guy. And...

Re: New build - Right hand reverse strat Here is something I got done today. Rounded the body sides and roughly shaped the belly and arm contours. Just oredered an ebony fretboard, will show it when I get it. Our dust removal system got jammed so now every machine is spitting dust so for at...

Hey all. Long story short, I started a 2 year guitar building school. Most notably everyone that works for http://www.ruokangas.com/ and http://www.amfisound.fi/ have graduated from here and virtually every guitar builder or repairer has either studied and/or taught here. During our first year...

I have a Fender Telebration 75 Block Tele from a few years back. Swamp ash body, maple neck and fretboard. It has a stock 62 Tele Custom bridge pickup in it. It's quite trebly, even for a tele pickup. I'd ike to upgrade it to a powerful pickup, something very badass. I play anything from hard...

Hi, long time no see :) I was just recently wondering about pickup combos. We all know the very well known and used pickups combos: JB/Jazz, SuperDistortion/PafPro, 81/85 etc, you know what I'm talking about. Have you ever used yourself or seen or heard anyone else use some combo that in a way...

Does anyone know were the Blackouts Metal and Singles designed "by default" to work on the "Louder" or "Loud" mode. I know they come out of the box with the jumper in place which is the "Louder". But in the product description says: "... For an on-board boost", which might imply that the "Loud"...
