So how come your English is so good then @mattbeels? I've been over to Germanyland a few times, and whilst most people seem to speak English, it's nowhere near your level of familiarity with the langu...

Posted by: @ They are, indeed. @boo: THere's another option which is EvilSheep Pickups. Hand made in "Gods Country" and really well priced. I had a set of "Sheep Experience" pickups in a crappy (bef...

a legit Gibson SG I've never got on with the SGs. The controls all feel too close together. Either that, or my fingers are too fat. I've only got one proper Gibson (original run Nighthawk from the ...

@rashdown_online Just stick a UPS sticker on your car and say your working! 😃

I'd go but knowing my luck the rozzers would catch me and/or wee-jimmy-kranky would setup a border patrol and have me locked up! And what's made things worse is, that in the time gone by I've traded a...

Hi @boo I can donate these unopened Iron Gear pickups. Parchment covers so may not work but may be able to source new covers to match the guitar. I got them for a build someone wanted and they gave ba...

Or I could take them to the Mother Ship when I pick up my guitar (not TV's guitar - mine ) You're getting a guitar TOO @rashdown_online? To be fair, I admire your patience. I'd have driven up there...

No problem. If Mark can let me know I'll take the Schaller bridge off eBay/Reverb. I'll also send up my "bread-knife's" old Yoga mat - either to make peace with Carol or use as nice new gripper pad &#...

Good thinking there @deej, that sounds like you’re on the right track to me... and just out of curiosity @rajbcpa why did you order bent sides when you have a side bending jig?

Sorry that’s should be front and back of the guitar. Sorry for the confusion.

It may be salvageable if you have the split part at the front and top of the guitar Once the back has been glued on you trim quite a bit off the front section so all may not be lost. As you can see h...

@rajbcpa Have you got a photo to post. Mark did a demo on this during last weeks live stream about how to cope with a split side. It's not always a disaster.

....so after the retail seller, a ny manufacturer refused to take it back, i'm considering splitting [ripping] both sides using a table saw... so a 6" wide kit will become a 3.5" wide kit... ,,,wha...

Hi and welcome @brad_nc sorry I’m late to the party...I’m sure you are going to have fun. Love the pickguard on the tele..

I do like a thinline and that looks great, well done.

Maybe Bareknuckle too? @boo hmm, I think @eddie6string is friends with Tim Mills so maybe he could ask? Maybe not, just a thought...

Mark / Carol probably have more influence with some of the pickup makers - and even hardware suppliers - given the amounts that they must buy? I'm guessing they'd get better (trade) prices than we co...
