C'mon!

Let's hear some ideas!

Well, the only thing I can think of is trying different magnets, but I assume that curiosity would've gotten the better of you anyway.

And I don't "do" Facebook, so whatever gets posted there I won't see.

After discussing it with Pepe I believe the intent is actually that whatever's posted here will show up on Facebook to draw more people here. More integration.

Yes, absolutely, but the pickups should both be tested primarily with their stock magnets since that's what most people will be able to buy and most people aren't going to swap magnets. Of course, swapping magnets after the primary test for giggles will of course need to be done.

I do imagine that the neck will have an A5 like the stock bridge.

TBH, I've registered with Facebook only because it's "comfortable", as on many commercial sites you can save the time of subscribing, just log with FB and it's done.

As I don't belong to the FB "generation", I had the idea of re-directing some FB traffic to the SDUGF, but don't know if that would be technically possible, so I'm all ears if somebody knows how to do it?

From what I've heard, FB has "issues" when regular-Joes try to link to company sites. I think they have special business packages for companies (i.e. pay them for imaginary losses in ad revenue).

Yeah, I entered a contest for a Warmoth body through Facebook and shared it several times. Facebook deleted those shares without notice.

Dammit!

And taking care of two "sites" with basically the same info sounds like too much work for no "real" return in terms of traffic...

Looks like if Scott doesn't get back to me with a solution, I'll be posting on the SDUGF only.

Oh, well...

I'm sure the review can be copied/posted by SD to their own FB page.

I really hope that's the case, Matt.

From next Monday I'll be free from my day job, then I'll start prepping for the "newcomer" (LOL), and I'm thinking about documenting the process... which I think it might be interesting for the DIY crowd at least.

What do you say?

If you've got the time (and the energy - it's labor-intensive), I say go for it.

Doing the things you LOVE keeps your energy up!
