back to the screw issue.

people at guitar shops suck. they just suck. all of them im convinced. they all are idiots. they don't show you shit about your 800 dollar investment. they don't know the difference between a cut switch on a MIM jag and a trebble circuit switch on a MIA jag. all of them.


except the guys as Chicago Music Exchange and The Rumble Seat.....everyone else is a fucking fuck tard who should quit

Naw, he just bought a guitar and has no camera to show it off.
A dude putting a nice stereo system in a $200 car just wants to drown out the fucked-up wheel bearing noise with Stravinsky and the 1812 overture and stuff.

Ha, hopefully by the time I'm your age I'll have an awesome collection. I've been looking into some of those wilshires that you like alot too.

pro-tip: the Big Muff sounds way better than a Double Muff when you want to really rock out.

I guess it's also more versatile?

btw the one thing that I'm having a hard time getting used too is if i roll down the volume & tone of the guitar it's as if I rolled it down all the way....I'm guessing it's cause it's of the 250k pots?...or maybe (forgive me for saying this, but this is my first guitar with singles) is it the single coils (I don't think it is, but I'm no expert)?

if it is because of the 250k pots, how much would it cost me to get 500k-1meg (which would you suggest?) installed (including buying the pots)

they cost 5 bucks. do it yourself.

if you don't know, teach your self.


replacing pots is the easiest thing to train your self how to solder on

ahh, okay...do you think the pots are the problem?

That's fairly normal for a guitar. If you replace the pots with larger value ones, you're going to get a bit more out of the sweep, but it's still going to decay very fast - what you will get is a lot more treble at the full tone and volume settings, which you may or may not want.

meh, for 5$ it doesn't hurt to try new things?

I'm not saying don't try it, I'm just telling you what will happen.

Yeah I know. Did you do any cool mods to your mustang before you sold it?
