@boo Pushing it back in rarely (if ever) works, it’s definitely time for a new pot. You can’t get away without soldering anyway as those pickups have to come out and go back in. (Or new ones, better)...

@boo I never had a problem with it not sticking, the 'hardest' part is the long drying time and getting enough coats for good continuity. I prefer to screw a (pre-wired) metal tab in the cavity and sl...

@boo Gotcha. It can be done either way and putting clear over it isn’t a problem. I’ve put it on several guitars that were already finished and it cleans up easily with a damp rag when it’s wet. I’ve...

Wow, that’s a lot of info to digest but I really enjoyed reading these, cheers!

@bangy Depends on the body shape but yes, carving first would be wise. At least the transition. Another thing to look out for on a neck through are the wiring holes for the pickups. The thing to do ...

shouldn’t matter too much about the hinge because the front of the headstock will be stuck to the bottom board of the jig with double sided tape and a clamp will be applied to the back of the neck. ...

@bangy re: the hinge But will it even be a problem as you’ll need to clamp the neck anyway? 🤔

the scorpions post was tongue in cheek 😃 All good @deej, I was just grinding your gears. But don’t worry, you’re not alone! @boo likes that song too, maybe it’s a Lancashire thing? 🤷&...

@bangy Wow, sounds idyllic... I’d say change the hinge or find a way to hold things steady. I don’t think it’s necessary that the neck is perfectly on center but as you’ll be using a router you defini...

He was the best guitarist in my opinion... @deej I’m really glad that you said that! 😆 But I agree, EVH was amazing but there was something about RR that was superior. Had he lived I think we...

@bangy Cool, so you’re close to Split? We wanted to go there as well but it didn’t work out this year, but maybe next time. Which jig do you plan on making next?

Wow, that’s a lot of favorites for one day! I think the line between this thread and the other one for songs is getting a bit blurred... 🤔 🤷🏼‍♂️ Either wa...

But then I realised you were right. @tv101 😆😆😆

@deej Oh good God man, have you no shame? Two classic Scorpions tracks get posted and then you come along and stink up the place with that drivel, wtf?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Hey there @bangy and welcome aboard! I see that you’re from Croatia, my family and I love it there. We’ve been to Zadar and a couple of times to Lumbarda, beautiful country!

@russ Those were good years for Scorpions, and that’s a crazy track! I have a few favorites from that era but this time I‘ll go with the obvious one as it’s an absolute ripper! This is proto shred fol...

@koendb As I don’t have experience with any of those pickups I can’t really vote. You’re bound to get a few votes for Iron Gear as they’re well know and liked around here. I‘m guessing that Wilkinson ...

There you go, is that succinct enough for you? 🤣👍 @boo Excellent! 😆

@koendb I agree with you about having a logo. It does make the guitar look finished but that’s probably because we’re used to it. The logo itself is a bit stolen and altered to make it my own. Yeah ...

Sorry to hear that Mark. I hope your mom is ok! You guys take your time and take care...
