Not sure where to post this so here goes.
I picked up the old 664 as a "throw in" in a trade. Look looking old mic but was told it may not be working. It uses a 4-pin connector that I'm not familiar with so not sure which of the pins to check for con

Read more…I picked up some 2" copper EMI shielding tape along the way but have enough for several lifetimes. I'm not sure of the mill thickness but each roll is about the size of a large roll of duct tape and weighs a couple 2-3 lbs. Stewmac sells this stuff f

Read more…Hey all! I'm sure many of you have been through this before. I picked up a couple of Peavey electrics on the cheap some time back now. I figured that I could keep stealing parts off them until I ran out of things to do with them. I've got a geetar

What say you?
Read more…Hey all, I picked up a Seymour Duncan Woody pickup some time ago now figuring I could use it for something or another at some point. I'd have to dig it out to verify, but recall it to be the single coil version.

After reading here and else where, it seems like most people using them are locating them under the bridge itself. I was wondering if anyone has had a

I'm sorting out my build here and I'm struggling with what I want to do for the tailpiece. I was planning on cutting some sheet Al. to create my own (and still may) but have a some chrome trunk hinges here at may work also if I go 3-st

Read more…I had a slight set-back in my build Sunday. I had glued up some 1/8" ash to 1/2" Canary Wood for neck material late in the week. The glue up gave me a "board" that was @ 5/8" x 4" x 42" before ripping and jointing to size. I was hoping to get two
Read more…Hey all!
I'm leaning toward trying my hand at making a fretless.
I've have access to some bar stock AL.( 1/4 x 1 1/2") and using aluminum for the fretboard sounds like it might be a reasonable way to go.
Any reason not to??
Thanks,
Ron
