  1. Hey guys, i got a B.C Rich Exotic Classic with Spalted top, Neck Thru Design. Wanting to trade for a good Amp or sale it. Perferably Just trade for good amp. If interested let me know and I can send pics or I will post some pics later tonight.
  2. To me the texas special have a good gain sound also...but as he said its gonna be hard to get every sound you want.
  3. I just got done doing something similar....redid a MIM Strat I put Texas Special Pickups in it and I love them. Im sure there are other pickups out there that will give you the same sound as the Texas SPecials or even better. I paid around 140 for all three on ebay shipped. In bridge position they have a really good clean sound for playing classic rock. if you go to the the next swtich up the bridge/neck it has a amazing blues sound. If tuned right can sound just like SRV's Number One. So if you like the sound of Numbers Ones I recomend the Texas Strats.
  4. If you cant find one you could get a straight on picture of one and blow it up in photoshop to the correct size and print it out and have a template. I did something similar like this with my Number One Build. Found a stratocaster outline the got a straighton view of srv number one and enlarged to match the layout then selected the layer the template was on and traced out all the little nicks and dings etc.....then deleted the top layer and have a good template of number one scratchs mark lines etc....should work for your situation.....and if its bigger then one sheet of paper set your printer settings to poster settings. Is this the one you need? http://cgi.ebay.com/Prewired-SSS-WBW-Pickg...1QQcmdZViewItem
  5. A talkbox tut would be awesome. Been wanting one forever and I would rather build it so...YES!
  6. I just looked it over and I can take the string and pick it up out of the nut and barely sit it back on it and it works fine but when i push down on it it pops back in the nut hole....like kinda of a popping in like the top of the groove is too small....So do you think i need to file a little out of it?
  7. Yeh, the pickup height is correct. The but slot is kinda small what do I need to look at on it...im sure it has something to do with the nut know because i can hold it on down on fret 1 and it rings perfect...but open it dies out quickly.....so its something to do with the nut...it doesnt look like it sitting it the nut that good
  8. Just got done building a strat and having a few little problems. The 1st string doesnt have much substain....like its bairly touching something I have tried adjusting the action and doesnt help it any. Could it be possbile the neck is slighlty crooked and causing it to do this? Also im wanting to refinish the neck and want it to be a high gloss but slick....would Tru-Oil be good for this or no? its a Maple Neck with Pau Ferro Fingerboard.
  9. Your not talking about Orange Peel are you? First question, how long from the time you put shellac on until you sprayed lacquer? Did you sand before the lacquer coat? Next how thick was the shellac and what type? Waxed or dewaxed shellac. What was the temp and humidity when you sprayed and you said that you had runs? So how thick was the lacquer coat? So many variables that could cause your problem. MK
  10. Not suppose to be a saga kit but guy I got it from could have gotten it from a saga kit, but yes its a very thin venneer and bublbes easly. I just used shellac to seal it and that worked good.
  11. Thanks both of you. I Have read you can use Laquer as a sealer? I have a few cans of it is the reason im asking...would save me some time.
  12. I did try the search function and most of prep stuff im coming up with is showing for paint a solid color. I wanting a natural look but having problems with grain and stuff...Just needed to know if I need to sand,seal,then dye...
  13. Could someone tell me what steps i should take to prep this body for a red mohagany dye then clear cloat? Thanks Flame Top Malple Body with basswood back
  14. Found the problem. The wire that goes from the solder points to where it starts to spool is broken. Can only find one side of it...so guess its a RMA.
