Be patient. Nobody has them I stock. It’s weird. but only the 12 string version is available. I’m guessing once Covid settles down they will start making them again. My local guitar repair shop has been looking for one for a client with no luck.

The bigger value cap will be 0.1 uF. If it were 100 uF with a 1 M pot you'd be passing the whole frequency range through. I'm thinking this guy is not too hot on his units. I ordered 1Meg pots and an 0.1 and 0.01UF cap, along with a 27K resistor. I guess this is what Danelectro did in the 50s - 60s...

Danelectro DC one lipstick

I got an itch and decided to finally build a 12 string DC guitar. The lipstick I bought about 8 years ago from craigslist it's from the early 60s. I got a 12 string Korean made Danelectro Neck off of guitar fetish a while back. I am trying to figure out the wiring for the vintage one pup guitars. I ...

Pignose

Have an old Pignose amp. Cone started to fall apart, but got to the point wher I couldn’t stand the blow out sound. Replaced with Jenson MOD5. Just barely fit. http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/386/6B0B76A9-2F35-4EA8-8193-9D4E85646F8E.jpeg http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/386/1E47712...

The biggest thing that I have found with the more modern automotive clear coat is that the it will shrink glue joints in the body. I have done a coupe fixes on butchered up guitars and got everything smooth and perfect up to base coat. But after shooting with the canned clear, it caused the glue to ...

Essentially, that’s what I do. 1) sand and prime with primer. 600 grit and you can’t see/feel the imperfections. 2) Base coat with color you like.... doesn’t matter the paint type. Let dry and set until all volitiles are gone. 3) clear coat with good automotive clear coat. Do not use spray can...

I use as a base coat and then finish with real automotive clear coat. The stuff you need a respirator to use. The spray can auto clear coat is shit. I have used the real expensive stuff that is catalayzed, but you need stringent temp and humidity to use properly, but they are hard as rock when dry.

It has some build up to it, but not like high build primer. I have a 12 string Danelectro neck and a vintage lipstick pup that I am plan...

Actually, I just need to drill two holes in it and it will be done. It's been sitting around almost done for a long time. I went through a series of tennis elbow issues and then a pinched nerve in my neck that has kept me from playing and, in turn, demotivated me from working on guitars. A friend of...
