Re: New Members ...

Oh dear, my apologies. I had completely forgot about this query till I was asked about it on Reddit. Thanks to Doctorwho for your replies. I can only assume the individuals correctly tried to register the standard way. I will pass along this information regardless. Again, thank you. Edit to note: Th...

Re: Broken locks on case, suggestions?

Alternatively, according to the FAQ's, they (G&G) may be willing to repair the case for you: "Can I send my case in for you to repair? Yes, but we will do HARDWARE REPAIRS ONLY. The customer is responsible for the shipping cost both ways, unless your product was purchased directly from us a...

Sounds like the ex figured out how much that "stupid guitar" is really worth.

Re: Checkerboard Binding

Yeah, I'm over it.
The final word on the subject was written over a week ago.
It was just an internet troll riling people up with a bunch of conspiracy nonsense.
*Don't feed a troll*

As I've stated before, however, I would give a kidney for a CB Rickenbacker Bass.
Maybe this is the one.

Re: Question

Normally a router bit runs >20K RPM and all I could get out of this setup was 2250 RPM so I had to be mindful of chipping. Being careful of my feeds and speeds I got pretty decent results.

The collets are visible under the DRO (Digital Read Out aka running on scales.) Motion/location in the X and Y axis are controlled by Acme threaded lead screws. CNCs use ...

Re: Bridge/Tailpiece V2 or not?

Would someone with a V2 be able to measure the height from the base of the bridge to the bottom of the ‘slots’ in the mute area of the bridge, i.e. where the strings go through? Hi Henry. I'm getting 8.60mm on three and 8.40mm on one (The E string slot.) I'm not sure if they did that on purpose or ...

More Happy Holidays in return!
