Err, trademark. Well now I like them even less than before 😂. That link you provided doesn’t work btw. I did some googling in the meantime and it’s a bit confusing on their forum but I *think*...

@boo Now you can spray the shielding paint on with your airbrush, kewl! 🙃😜 I recently got the same calipers to replace my old SM ones. I really like the bigger display, I can actually ...

@Jonathan Hodgson do you mean that MM has a copyright on the 4x2 configuration or their headstock shape? I’m currently designing a headstock with a 4x2 (opposite of theirs plus different shape) and I ...

No, if for yourself or friends you‘ll be fine. You could actually build exact copies and sell them until the big guys noticed, and they wouldn’t until you were rather big selling lots of them! Even st...

Only if you plan to sell them!

@blake Japanese parts are typically really good. The difference in hole size isn’t much as @frocesterbill pointed out. Just be sure to use a lock washer (already necessary) inside the cavity for good ...

@eddie6string ...has some harmonic benefits according to some. I‘ve never heard that before, aside from their dashing good looks people usually talk about how it (apparently) affects string tension/...

Did you know Leo Fender does not play guitar? That’s true, he didn’t play. He could probably bang out a few notes or whatever just so he could test things. He owned a radio repair shop and musicians ...

Looking great as usual @clinton, I like your style 💪

...and don't view us as just being ridiculously fussy pains in the ass! Too funny!

I've bought Alpha and CTS and have to say the Alpha's are built better and turn more freely etc. @rockpile99 I like the Emerson Pro CTS pots. Good build quality, tight tolerance and a smooth turn, ni...

I love Tom Petty, one of the artists that I never saw live... 😭

That’s a good tip but I wouldn’t recommend making big jumps in the diameter of the drills especially since there isn’t much meat around the tuner holes. Go up 1 mm at a time max and practice it first ...

@blake Ok, if you haven’t routed the cavity yet then you could simply dowel the holes and start over if you prefer. Once the nuts, washers and especially the knobs are on, no one will ever see it. The...

Someone posted a Depeche song earlier, this one is my favorite. This is the condensed video version but I like it better than the studio version.

@blake Not sure which pots you plan on using but CTS require a 9.5mm hole so I think you’ll be fine.

Hey @blake Have you only drilled the holes through the body or have you already routed out the control cavity?

@eddie6string The stand/surface you operate it on will be a major factor in other folks' choice of weapon when they beat down your door! 😆😆😆 Thanks for the info, that’s exact...

@boo You will soon understand, young padawan. 🤘😁🤘 🤯😉🍻

@boo I was thinking that it had something to do with your prints but then noticed that you didn’t do it in the third photo... and now you post your email address on this open, public forum?!? May the ...
