@boo I love using my Freqout pedal by Digitech, it’s so much fun, have you tried it?  Nope, never even heard of it. But looks cool. I’m guessing it’s nothing like a sustainer though, right? I mean, how could it…   Read more»

@Boo Top wiring tip (one of many top wiring tips). Make yourself a little “jig” or pattern on a piece of scrap MDF.  Drill 8mm holes in the MDF to replicate where the vol/tone pots, p’up selector switch and output…   Read more»

@boo I would like to add that you too can achieve similar sexy wiring results with a bit of study and well, ahem, practice. It’s not rocket science after all. Just some bonehead easy circuits coupled with some sexy soldering…   Read more»

@boo
Pre-wired circuits are pretty common these days but… you’ve got to like the components they use and pay a hefty premium. They are extremely well done though…

@boo Yes he does. A Fernandes Sustainer to be exact. I have one and they are awesome. These days Steve uses a Sustainiac. Those were on the market waaaaaay back in the day. The first I heard of it was…   Read more»

There’s no FX in there @Boo – just some neat wiring.
You can buy pre-wired looms, or you can get handy with the hotstick …
 

Would need use of that hotstick (aka “soldering iron”) though @Boo … It’d be quite simple to put a circuit together, run it on an “outboard” basis to try it out and decide whether it’d be useable, and then rewire…   Read more»

Wow, you looked so different back in the day Matt. 🤣

What do you mean? That photo is from last week, I don’t understand…

@boo @tv101. Great advice guys. I’ll keep that Mind well and truly open. 🤯 
🙂🙏🎶🎸

I think it’s an exciting idea and I’m in all the way. Hit me up! Would need use of that hotstick (aka “soldering iron”) though @Boo … It’d be quite simple to put a circuit together, run it on an…   Read more»

Hey @tv101, @boo, @mattbeels, @russ It’s Bruce here!!!! ha ha…def dont mind being a duplicate for Mr Dickinson…. Part 2 is ready and will upload asap….I’ll do my best to shoot some of the process and the mistakes, and I…   Read more»

If I can just add something to this conversation, I think @tv101 should surely agree with this for an alternative to F holes @boo, as I’m pretty sure that’s one of your own guitars, it’s probably best that I say…   Read more»

@boo Haha! That Ibanez rocks! A good friend of mine had it once and sounded amazing. Gretsch had the fake holes first I believe.

@boo I know! It totally sucks for you guys, big time! What a stupid ‘idea!’ (for the other ‘reasons’ as well) I only occasionally ordered stuff from the UK but now I’m wondering if it’s going to be just another…   Read more»

@boo

1. If you keep the orders small they should squeak by, uhh right?!? 🤷🏼‍♂️

but just look @boo, it’ll be 20k before too much longer!

@mattbeels Yeah but so will I. 🤣

 I guess it’s easy if you have one of those fancy drilling guides from StewMac.  @boo Well stewmac aren’t the only ones who have it, although they have gotten expensive. I bought mine a long time ago. Check ebay or…   Read more»

Of course, the 10k club is a bit “last month’s thing”

@tv101
I know, I know… 😂 🍻
but just look @boo, it’ll be 20k before too much longer!

You could have a red light outside so your wife would know when you are in there and know not to disturb you as an interruption would ruin the paint if she opened the door. 😉 @boo Good idea, but…   Read more»

@boo I’ve always liked Sperzel tuners too. Locking obviously but I really like that they don’t have a screw on the back, they locate with a pin (as you probably already knew) so they have a bit of a cleaner…   Read more»
