@tv1010101 They're all marked 500, A's and B's, so thats not a problem. The theaded parts all measure 8mm, I'm assuming that they're metric. I'll pop into my old workplace when I'm home and borrow th...

I wonder whether it would be worthwhile having a new section on the forum called (something like) "Pickups & Parts"? @tv1010101 Yep great idea, it’s a no brainer!

Trouble is @Robin, that the diameter of the threaded part varies. I've got a box of washers & nuts, but odds are that they wouldn't fit your pots. New ones generally come with more washers/nuts t...

I bought some used pots from ebay, I got into a message discussion with the guy and told him what I was doing, I think he has sent me his entire spares box. So now I've got 20 pots, but no nuts and wa...

@darrenking Really enjoyed the video class you did with Mark and hope to try these things sometime. Clearing out the recently departed Chris Eccleshall's workshop I have come accross this heavy vacuu...

Started playing/stripping guitars apart in 1974 (had a plastic guitar in 1964) Rapier 44 Cemar (now Ibinez) Strat 1978 saw me becoming a Runner/"Go-for" for the Black Sabbath and AC/DC road crews (the...

Yes its off by 1mm. I measured with a little $9 angle-izer. @seth I would probably not use it, your intonation will be all over the place and you’ll probably have big tuning issues. Buy another fret...

It’s definitely worth a shot isn’t it? Abso-bloody-lutely. ? ?

Posted by: @ It is worth giving it a go John. Judging by your other work, I think that your more than capable of creating something that will work. Cheers, Russ. ✌️??

Given your engineering skills John, do you think that you could create something like this? @russ I’ve thought about this before, I noticed them a while back. It’s possible, it’s just a case of makin...

@tv1010101 I hear you on that. I cannot muster myself to paint a slab of curly maple. Will try the Crimson Product. Already planning my next build.

@tv1010101 Yes, it is interesting. I recommend to do a 5 way switch or a kill switch to get maximum tonal selection having the piezo just as an added bonus for it might come in handy for live performa...

’m not sure it would work but if all the slots are off by 1mm you could but the bridge on off square Or just use it for playing Jazz .... ?

@johnnierox-boo Are you buying these locally in Falkirk. I'm going home to Falkirk tomorrow for a few days, provided landslips and floods allow me to.

Iv'e seen others using wood to make a rear cavity cover Absolutely!! I try to avoid using bits of cheap plastic on my builds wherever possible. Usually successfully! I keep all the bits of offcuts fr...

they just knocked apart with wee tap of a hammer this morning That doesn't bode well. 🙁 There are some attributes detailed here - wood database - which suggest it might not be the best wood for gui...

@rocknroller912 Just as you said, the keruing is very hard to glue, I had left a couple pieces glued and clamped for 24 hours, they just knocked apart with wee tap of a hammer this morning. Also, i...

@rocknroller912 Thanks for that information, that's just what I needed to know to stop me doing something stupid. This particular piece came from where I used to work before retiring. It's used for t...

Whoa! A guitar fretboard that makes your fingers go septic! Awesome! Sounds like the kind of present that V. Putin might give to someone!
