Did you apply any kind of tint or stain on that project? I've been doing some research, and I bought some tung oil to mix up my own teak oil with linseed oil. I was planning on doing a top coat then with oil+beeswax that I have, but I am thinking how to get the edges darker. From what I've read, I c...

I think they did? I just got thrown because this neck wasn't made to have one, they just didn't cut the end off for the nut position, so it confused the fuck outta me for a bit. I don't know which way would be easier, cutting off a section of fretboard that's glued down could be hairy, simply sawing...

NVM I figured it out. They didn't finish this neck, in terms of trueing up the nut position. After measuring the other fret distances, they do line up with standard 24.75" scale. I need to I think either take some off the fretboard to move the nut closer, or add a zero fret. Fuck.

Background: I got a lefty Mosrite body that takes a righty Mosrite neck. Problem, any Mosrite neck is impossible to find that isn't like $800. So I set out to try to build an adapter to fit a normal neck on this thing. Knowing I'd need to learn more woodworking than I have current skill at, I bought...

I dunno, I kind of like the flat white guard, though personally light blue stripes would look better. I wonder what a black 3-ply guard would look on one of these?

I also have a bias against red, though.

Oh, that grey shit on the body is glue?? I just always assumed it was like a primer layer before the blue went on.

Those knobs look so much better on it.

Glad to see this guy get some love and attention. I'm not sure I ever took the guard off that thing.

Regarding the finish, at least the refin is also incredibly thin coat as well, so it shouldn't take that much to get it off.

Glad it made the journey back to Cali!

Yeah, I said the same thing. The overtones are the results of the mass absorbing some of the vibration. It's basically a graphic EQ in wood. The actual, real difference in the electrical signal (because the strings are what create the signal) is less than a percent. You can just drop one side of a p...

Mass makes a difference in...what? You literally can only hear the electrical system. Wood does not make any change to that electrical system, it is not conductive whatsoever, with the exception of mechanically absorbing some of the vibration, which I said in my first post. However, it makes such a ...

Two of the same model guitar will sound different given different pickup heights and pot/cap values. Comparing a LP to an SG has so many possible factors there. I dug up the vid. Listen for yourself. I know most people won't sit for 20 minutes and watch the whole thing, so I set it to the end of it ...

I watched some vids last night about finishing mohag with tung oil, and it does look light before the oil application, and darkens up afterwards. No grain fill done, apparently one technique is to apply oil, then 4000 grit light sand to clog the oil-soaked grain with particles of the wood. The oil e...

I haven't seen it in a while but there's some vids on youtube of a guy who went out and tried a bunch of different woods with an electric pickup, eventually even just straight bolting the strings across two separated wood pieces that were unconnected, and the difference is basically zero. The only a...

Shit, these pics suck. Hold up, gonna rotate and reattach them. Okay, so it arrived today. First impressions, they did a great job. It feels very smooth, nothing needing to be dressed or anything like that. This is quality. They 100% nailed the 40mm nut width, confirmed with calipers (1.57 inch, Rob...

Bacchus, I agree. The extra cost wasn't as much as I really expected, so that was fine for me. Thomas, I don't have it yet to find out about the screw holes. I had them drill them as an option. Further, the body will be custom made so I can just make sure the holes all line up at that point. However...

I ordered the neck from Musikraft, though since I delayed in ordering it, prices have gone up a bit. Came out a bit higher than I originally specc'd, which sucks, but it is what it is. What is the damage on a Musikraft neck these days? They have always been a premiumpricey choice but the quality of...

The ORM-1L finally sold, shipped to a dude in Ottawa. Plays in a powerpunk band up there, he sent me a link to his Spotify. So, it's gonna get some use. That made me happy. I ordered the neck from Musikraft, though since I delayed in ordering it, prices have gone up a bit. Came out a bit higher than...

Broe. You basically just said "google it". I haven't looked in a while, but here's what I found. This is not my drawing. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4KCDUI04mEM/TZK2ySgRAsI/AAAAAAAACBU/VpqXJF_TaAQ/s1600/supersonic_wiring.png http://geekversusguitar.blogspot.com/2011/03/squier-super-sonic-wir...

So I wired up the LED. Initially, I'd just snipped the existing LED off and stripped the ends of the wires for the new one. As I was soldering the second wire, the positive wire snapped at the solder joint on the PCB.... I was NOT equipped to do a desolder job so I did what anyone in my position wo...

Diffuse means the light doesn't shoot straight out like a beam of piss. It likely will just make it omni-directional blinding.

Do you guys not have resistors in the UK?
