“The Lurker” would’ve been a good name, but I’ve already made the decals for it. I’ve really stretched my imagination with this one and called it #002.

@rocknroller912

thought you had fallen off the planet 

I did actually and man was it tough getting back on…

@rocknroller912 I think what @mario meant about using active pickups is that you don’t need to connect the bridge to ground as they are so quiet, therefore eliminating that connection. Using active and passive pickups in the same guitar is…   Read more»

Thanks @Rocknroller912, I haven’t really been away, just been lurking in the background with nothing useful to contribute. 

@Rocknroller912 active pickups have less coils, which also elimnates hum, but don’t have enough current to be amplified like a passive pickup, therefor need some extra help; they have a little pre-amp stage and need a 9v battery to power…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 Actual result is……… Nothing happens, there is no attraction between metal flake and a magnet, none what so ever.  Here is a little video of how sparkly they are though. 🤣✨✨✨✨  I kept the sides in silver base coat…   Read more»

I didn’t think anyone would get that joke @rocknroller912 🤣 Yeah well, there are too many Nats in England for my liking at the moment, that’s why I want a change. I know they are in every country but I…   Read more»

it’s the Nats, they really get under your skin.

@rocknroller912 I hear you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I just went out to the pub thinking it’s Thursday when they are open till midnight. Got half way there and realised it’s only Wednesday 11 pm closing. @rocknroller912 – this morning, I have a similar tale. My days are…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 Sorry that was a little insensitive, is there anything we can do to help you? 

Struggling to find any humour at the moment @rocknroller912 Yep, it’s all doom and gloom at the moment. I feel like we  need some divine intervention to prevent us from assured destruction. It sounds like I’m catastrophising but there are enough…   Read more»

What’s up @rocknroller912?

@tv101 @rocknroller912 @russ Pretty funny jokes lads, we’ve not had any for a while. We all need a bit of laughter in this world, god knows we are gonna need it. 🔥🌪🌊🌋🦠☢️☣️🌎🔚🏴‍☠️

True but it is a potent string break point. I think some of the old 50s and 60s designs have a lot of room for improvement  @rocknroller912 I dont think string break is the issue, but tuning stability is. String…   Read more»

it will be rubbing on the side on the nut slot which isn’t good for tuning. @rocknroller912 Well on a Les  Paul, none of the strings are ligning up with the nut. You just have to cut the nut with…   Read more»

Hi Bill, I have never had to remove a bridge but, if I did, I absolutely agree with @rocknroller912. If there is no reason to reuse the existing bridge then planing or routing it off will do far less damage…   Read more»

@Rocknroller912 Thanks for that – sounds like a plan – I wondered about heat to soften glue but as you say as the bridge is not being reused then carefully remove/destroy………..

Hey @robin and @rocknroller912 Really appreciate your replies and your research robin… Once again I’m reaching out to Mark, I’ve also emailed him…so fingers crossed… I’m slightly inlcined to go ahead and glue the head and tail blocks and but…   Read more»
