1.625 is 1 5/8, the standard Fender nut width (designated B-width during the period in question). I imagine Warmoth call it vintage as a means to just evoke classic Fender spec, because plenty of people might want a suped-up Strat with a classic-yet-unFendery 1 11/16â€Â� or whatever when theyââ‚...

And how do you like the pickups on the MM? Humbucker loving bl00z lawyers have always been bitching about the thin ones but I've always liked the sound of Melody Makers. I have a thin pup from a mid 60s model collecting dust somewhere, I should probably find and drop it in my strat some day They're...

The only thing I know about Ministry is that one of their guitarists was once walking around a Walmart with a briefcase, happening to match the description of an armed robbery suspect who had allegedly fled to the area, so police asked him if they could inspect the briefcase for weapons or stolen it...

I only shell out for flats, just like the bumper sticker says. Expensive bass strings are bullshit. I'm convinced, as with most things I don't understand, that it's just a front for Scientology. When I need a set of rounds for bass I just find the cheapest unpackaged set on Amazon or Wish and wait p...

What are the necks like on them? The '67 Melody Maker has a proper fat Gibbo neck in the old-school fashion; boaty all the way up and down. The '72 SG-II has a very typical Norlin-ish maple neck that is not pitched back, super narrow at the nut and generally sort of round-but-small feeling. It's ac...

That’s not even the argument I’m disparaging, it’s a set-up related thing and has no effect on the sound. You know using 13s without doing a set-up for them is how you broke the nut on your AVRI, right? Just want to amend your post with this disclaimer while we’re providi...

This guy didn't know about the three seashells :lol: Literally the first thing most of us did with our Jag-Stangs was try to trick it into being a remotely all-around acceptable rock guitar in its stock form. This is a Mustang trem set-up tutorial, nothing more. Good for total noobs to the Mustang/J...

I’ve almost built this exact Tele several times in the past year. I have a spare AllParts ‘62 neck and have filled online shopping carts with a white/cream body usually an “Edenâ€� from eBay) and all other necessary bits to see how handily I can construct a clone/backup for â...

there's prolly a secret room at the gfs factory with humidifiers everywhere and parts just dangling about. The Muriatrium. Mustang looks perfect! Jealous. My favorite trick for installing tight tuner ferrules is to slowly press them in with small c-clamps, it protects both the bushing and the heads...

30 Ls? Sounds like one hell of a bargain. If only... this giant toy costs $1200/£1300, and being a contemporary Fender modeling amp reliant on some ARM IC bricks, can likely bugger itself in ways that can't be repaired by anyone but Fender (who, immediately upon discontinuing it within the decad...

Yeah I have the M-Audio pedal, it's fine. It feels as cheap as it is. It's funny because I have a Snarling Dogs wah, too, and seeing the two different styles of construction at two opposite ends of the scale for what is effectively meant to be the same mechanical function is crazy. The Snarling Dog...
