If you're talking about a Strat® type 4 bolt neck with a chrome neck plate just use the size bolt whose oval head best fits the counter sunk hole in the neck plate. An 8-32 has a pretty small head diameter. A 10-28 might not even be large enough. If you're not talking about a Strat® type bolt on nec...

...I ordered some brass 14 gauge square brass stock... Did you say this brass binding is for the perimeter of the body? It's my understanding that 14 gauge measures about 5/64 in. Five sixty fourths ( .078" ) seems pretty small for body binding. Did you mean 4 gauge? 4 gauge is 15/64 in. just under...

I'd like to get people's opinion. I drew this diagram to wire a strat type guitar with an added 4th pickup that is always on. I'm not an wiring expert but it seemed simple enough to do by just adding the 4th single coil directly to the output lug of the switch. What do you think?

Thanks.

Thanks!

I'll be working on a guitar that has fret buzz on the E6 string, frets 2, 3, 4 and 5 only. I'll probably just use one of my small needle files and touch each fret top and then recrown but I'm curious, on which fret do you guys and gals typically start? At the sixth fret and work your way down or on ...

Edgar, As I see it there are a few concerns. 1. You will take a fair amount of wood off the outside edges of the fingerboard. You will likely have to deepen the fret slots so that the tang will go all the way down. If you feel comfortable with that and there is enough depth on the fingerboard that ...

it looks like it's unbound, so check your fingerboard thickness. Take the nut off and double check that it's not a veneer fingerboard. If you have sufficient thickness, go for it. If you think you might get marginal on thickness to refret, think about your options. 10" is less than I am comfortable...

Strat type hard-tail bridge.

I have a Peavey electric that I plan on refreting. But, I want to convert the fretboard radius from 15 3/4in. to 10in.. I want to avoid simply replacing the neck if possible. So, I'm thinking of sanding the board to the 10in. radius using my sanding caul. The neck has a rosewood board and dot fret m...

I had accumulated some extra parts so to get rid of them I decided that I needed a korina wood chambered flat top LP Special replica with a Bigsby, three pickups with a master volume and two tone controls, and a 5-way switch.

I used this one:

Adapt one of these methods for drilling string ferrule holes using an alignment pin in the table to your tuning machine hole project.

I found another picture of what I'm looking for.

I'm near the finishing stage of a korina wood flat top electric similar to the guitar in this eBay auction. And I'm looking to achieve a similar look except that I want the pores filled much darker (black) than the guitar pictured and I'm wondering what material to use. I'll be using KTM 9 from Stew...

I can't tell if those are locking tuners or not but in either case try using the fewest possible winds on the posts to minimize the posibility of slack building up.

I had a similar problem and I fixed it...twice.
