I think that GFS has that same trem for cheap from the original National catalog! Might be better way to cover those screw holes!

I thought it'd be something like that, but then how is he managing to sing the right melody if the pitch shifting is a gradual thing? EDIT: Unless my understanding of pitch shifting is deeply flawed. That's why he's using in-ear monitors in both ears. What vampire boy is hearing in his monitors is ...

Most use paraffin or paraffin & bees wax blend. Just maintain a temp somewhere above melting point and considerably lower than flash point, and drop them in for 10-15 mins or until they stop bubbling. Remove and scrape the cooled wax off the outside and you're done. Just be careful - NO OPEN FLA...

maybe because its On-Sell was a 22" people want 24". 22" too short :< Just be patient, no one will grab that at 279. It would have to have original tuners or be REALLY clean. As I mentioned, I've bought 65-71 Mustang/Duo necks for $100-$200 (depending on if they had been sanded or st...

I see he also cut you a pick guard without the switchplate. I'm inclined to lean that way and just have the swithes mounted into that. Might be too busy with chrome, but that's just how I like them!

As much as I rolled my eyes on some of the early posts here, I admit now I'm loving this. (And freakin' Cooter is the man, isn't he?!)

is that a low price for a mustang neck? i thought they were closer to 150-200 top end. i didn't realize they had jumped in price so much, i remember watching a couple block and bound jaguar necks go for around 200 bucks about 7-8 years ago. You are correct. Lots are "listed" for more, but...

I love gold tops, and I have newfound respect for deluxe series. I just stickied my 77 goldtop at the top of this page earlier in the week.
How about a mini in the bridge and p90 in the neck position?

I've a hard time liking blue guitars. With that being said, Ice Blue Metallic is on my list of colors to experiment with, as well as Agave and Ocean Turquoise. I don't recall seeing anything about red in the thread (sorry if that's not the case, but its been awhile). Recently I've been playing with ...

Simply put, This ^^^

Rule of thumb at my buddy's guitar shop: Guitar into bass head/amp is ok (almost encouraged). Bass into guitar head/amp strictly forbidden.

Sounds interesting! I'll be watching for the updates. I wanted to do this some time back but didn't have the patience. After scouring ebay, craigslist, etc. for months looking for 1968-69 pieces, it got put on a shelf. Hopefully you'll inspire me to start up again. BTW, you never know where you'll c...

I believe worrying about balanced string tension is more important if you use alternate tunings, where you're often raising and lowering some strings a step or two from standard. With that being said, I keep 2-3 guitars in open G, but have never adjusted string gauges. Therefore, it's probably even ...

Nice score! Brings back some memories...

Sorry I'm a week late on this, but I wanted to say THANKS! I've owned a HRDlx for awhile and learned more from this website in 10 min than in years before!

Don't pass up a chance to try a Trace Elliot Velocette... Will never let mine go. Love the TT's also though!

I almost bid on it myself this morning, thinking theres no way eBay would let them pull that shit off and i'd get the guitar at a hell of a price. Ebay can't force seller to follow through with the sale. At best, they won't allow the seller to go after you for non-payment or leave you negative feed...
