A little late to the party but I can vouch that the Zoom H4n does a good job of capturing a wide range of sources. I've used it for interviews, music (live and studio) and for actual field recording. It can do 4 channels simultaneously (2x built in SDC & 2 mics via XLR). The SDCs are of course, ...

USPS= no problems in my experience and much quicker UPS= 50% break rate and 7 days minimum Next time I ship a guitar I'll try fed ex. You can also have Greyhound put it on a bus which is supposed to be cheap, but I haven't tried it. I've shipped stuff across the country with Greyhound and it went w...

from stewmac A guitar's scale length is calculated by measuring the distance from the front edge of the nut, where it butts against the end of the fingerboard, to the center of the 12th (octave) fret, then doubling that measurement. http://www.stewmac.com/fretscales so in order to put a 25.5" ...

Well I'm no expert, but I say do it. If this is a player's guitar, and not some keep-it-in-the-closet collector thing, some conductive tape couldn't do anything but make the guitar better. To my mind, as long as the work is done well and it makes the guitar more playable, there's nothing wrong with ...

I'm not sure, I've just been looking at my mustang neck compared to my Jagmaster neck, both are 12" from nut to 12th fret, but the jagmaster neck is shorter overall, and the frets are all bunched up at the top end... so I could put a strat neck on this... is that right? so given that couldn't ...

I suppose the shorter necks were early conversion necks or something... as you can see, I'm just learning about this. But I assume that shortening the scale is easier than lengthening it, it the sense that to shorten the scale, one need only have the proper neck but to lengthen it, one would have to...

Mustang Melx wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought the original mustangs did come with 2 scale lengths on the same body/bridge position.

They did, but it was 24" and 22.whatever". There was no long scale (25.5") mustang.

So it'd be entirely possible to design a conversion neck that'd take a normally shortscaled guitar like the Mustang, and make it a full 25.5", as long as the bridge and the 12th fret are 9" apart? I think this is an idea worth trying. A longscale Mustang might be a very cool thing. Wait a ...

I don't even understand how this works... so you can put that squier neck on the tele and everything will work out, intonation-wise? Why does it work? Seems to me that the nut will still be too far away from the bridge. Is there any way to tell the difference between a conversion neck and a regular ...

Look at this! Almost US$1300 for a Jag neck! I've seen complete '63 Jags sell for like $100 more.

That sounds heavy......how so??

Search these forums for "danelectro" and "danophobia."

Buy used and your money doesn't get to the Dano ppl, as some sucker already gave it to them in your stead.

Looks like they were only released with sunburst or stained bodies...
Any leads on having one made for me? Preferably somewhere on the North American continent...?

Maybe I'll just have to suck it up and buy thru Warmoth.

Reece has one actually http://bestnetworx.com/uploader/files/39/mustang.png im sure he could take some detailed photos if you say pretty please enough just going through Warmoth: Maple neck + fretboard - $157 Straight 9.5" Radius - $35 [they do not offer a 7.25", they want you to buy thei...

this IS, in fact, the case. I'm trying to find a maple neck for a mustang body and having trouble doing so.

I'm going thru the exact same thing but in reverse.
All of my guitars were rosewood until I got a tele last year and now I need more maple in my life. haha.

Why are they so hard to find? The only place I've found that makes them is Warmoth and hunting for maple-necked mustang pics online has turned up a surprisingly small amount. How many of you have played or owned one? Why are there so few of them out in the wild? I'm thinking a maple mustang would pr...

Gawddamn!! Almost $10,000 for a Jaguar? You could put a down payment on a HOUSE for that kind of money!!!

Is this one of the 22.5" or 24"? I read that the 90's reissues came with the super short necks.

i think a lot of ppl go thru that exact same thing... i know i did.
lasted about two months before i traded it away for something a little more practical.

I recently got a GFS Fat Mini Humbucker pup in a trade a little while back and I've just ordered a GFS lipstick pup for tele, cuz I just love the sparkle of lipstick pups...
