it's bit too long...i have one from POTR -i i got it for 660/12 but that was just bad idea so i have been using it with double cutaway tele shaped body instead - there it works just fine. and yes it is on heavy side among the straps

it seems that you're after older schaller kluson like tuners - they don't make those with round metal button since like 1994...tone pros make drop in replacement with threaded bushings too (tony @ pickguardian is your source) . your second option is grover deluxe vintage..those have bit bigger shaft...

same problem, anybody had a word from dale? he is owing me two sets of truss rods for 4000 since january - he was unable to provide any tracking number or even customs label number for those he said he shipped out in january, so later he promised to ship out "replacements" and he vanished ...

it has been my experience that it is ALWAYS easier to board the plane with it - ...i have never paid any custom fees for the guitar that i took with me (usa to eu) another big + is that you don't have to deal with shipping company and the crazy cost of that.

- for fine grit sandpaper & zymol try car care product stores or stores for those people who do small models of airplanes etc... that has been my own experience here in eu..., yet another approach is to strip the guitar of all the parts, wet sand the spots flat with 2000 and take it on a buffer ...

Can anyone help me out? I had a 325 brought in to me for a bit of work (fret dress / setup and general TLC). Everything is great but there's a lot of fingerboard wear between the nut and 4th fret. When I say wear I mean right through and the owner's worn away some of the fingerboard. At this stage ...

(i hope this is proper forum for this topic - please feel free to move it around )

i hope that the subject line is selfexplanatory, i am having hard time with this. i exchanged email with dale on february 6th and have not been able to reach him from that date on. anybody knows anything about him?

just put those two missing springs back, it will give more stability to the bridge, that's the first thing i do with every strat style guitar that is missing some... or if you don't use tremolo at all just stick a small block of wood behind the block of the tremolo. it makes it hardtail right there.

Thanks for the info and audio clips so the middle pickup really doesent make that muck of a diffrence its more of a cosmetic thing ? I use only thin pics they have always been easyier for me the toaster pickups I want for the look I like the vintage look.So the janglebox must be very important I ke...

mod does decrease the value but who cares if that's what you want? if you plan to sell it don't mod it :) adding the third pickup can change the sound a lot depending on what you're gonna do with it, e.g. you can get it hooked up with push pull knob - so you can choose when you turn it on, than if y...

sunshine is very good idea, it kills the mold... than there are many antimycoticums - medical sprays ... and i have used another spray for the smell before - i can't remeber the name of the product exactly but it is sold by shoestores for stinky shoes and it did the trick ...it think it was called D...

when the beam acquisition started to be a problem many people built their own with several heat lamps inline dangling down from the same contraption - that way you can pretty much regulate the heat as well.. the iron is ok solution too - especially if you get like two of them - than you can move pre...

this is something from bad dream, it is fairly common on 4001 at the nut and some older 12 string o at the end of fingerboard on the treble side.. but i haven't come across neck with modern rod that did that what you are describing yet, the modern neck goes in to severe backbow or wave instead when ...

how common is the cavity with penciled in designation for different color than what was later put on the instrument at the factory? i am asking since one of my jetglo 450
guitars is marked NAT in the cavity.

sounds to me like that "potential buyer" is looking for discount because of 'loose rods'
