I think it was a dodgy treble bleed ... which I removed because , well, it's a tele type build. Also I came across a bunch of ceramic caps labelled 203 & 503 I am guessing they're .022 & .047 uF respectively...can anyone confirm this please? or how do I tell if possible using a multi metre? ...

Hi.

I wired a 250K pot as volume for a tele like build.

It works only from 12 o'clock (full on) to 9 o'clock (3/4 on).

I'm a hamfisted solderer. Does this sound like I've damaged the pot?

If not please suggest othyer possible causes.

Thanks,
Rob.

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread.

Thanks guys....I thought about a nut of some sort...but I settled on supergluing a strip of plastic binding to the underside & re-tapping. The next 10 years will tell.. )

Hi. I have inadvertently 'stripped' the self cut thread in the pickup base. I might not have or be able to source slightly bigger dia screws to redo it. Are there any quick fixes analogous to putting shavings or a sliver down stripped threads in the neck or body? Could I gently melt the holes closed...

Yes Mario you've stated what's puzzling me. It's the thickness at the centreline of each end that for some reason/s varies by around .5mm despite all relevant measurable intervals being the same at the start levelness, height from board to bottom of sled at each end etc etc. and it is a 10 -16"...

Hi. I am road testing a fingerboard radiusing router jig with callipers spirit levels - you name it.. - but I keep getting different thicknesses at each end. I will reverse the ends in the jig tomorrow, but in principle, how much tolerance is 'liveable' with over the length of the board? <0.5mm? 0-1...

Hi. are ply & MDF freely interchangeable or are there constraints for their use in making jigs?

Thanks,
Rob.

Thanks guys.
Mark at this stage the build will be a chambered solid bodied guitar with a slightly wider than usual fingerboard to help my fat fingers do a bit of finger-style.

'course that could all change with a slip of the router ;o)

Simple and beautiful...I want to hold it...any sound bytes anywhere?

Hi
I am going to try a Shadow AZ 49 at the neck in a planned project.

I cannot find anywhere suggested pot & cap values for it.

Can anyone help out please?

Thanks,Rob

Hi. I live on the southeast coast of Australia. The piockup covers on my LP tarnished a lot very quickly - unimpressed, but that's not where I'm going - so recently I gave the whole guitar a good clean up set up etc & now the pickup covers shine like new...and I swear the guitar sounds different...

It's a 2004 model D28 so I guess the truss rod is adjustable. Thanks again.

Thanks guys.

Hi. I would like to improve the playability of my Martin D28 Currently the relief is > 0.63mm and the action at the 12th fret is ~ 3mm I can't find any numbers from Martin themselves. I'm guessing there will be more relief and a higher action on this instrument than on a solid body electric...but I ...

Hi. What's the best way to rub out a lacquered maple fingerboard? I don't mean the frets I mean the fingerboard particularly up around the 12-22nd fret. Do you 'shoeshine' with strips of 600 grit? I 've looked in the forums & in books & the subject is 'passed' over. I almost said 'glossed' a...

Hi , I have noticed recently that a couple of words in various posts are highlighted as links. When followed the links take one to a content provider's 'contest' page. :o I can't imagine that this is a Forum policy.. But Is it? or is there some malware on my computer (a mac)? :evil: Thanks, Rob.

Hi.

I think the link to a content provider is inappropriate.

...sanding the cutaway & shoulder of a tele build.


I tried all sorts of inspired processes and came up with one that works very well...


patiently running the grits...
