Any other Items to order from this company?... Hate to order just that, I want to do all kinds oe projects and just need suggestions and.............. plans!

I was wet sanding my brothers Tele and water got in the screw holes, it raised a couple Streaks/strips down the body about 8" long. I guess the wood swelled.... any way I had to strip it all back down and start over, I am now pluging the holes with screws and I will do my best to sand around them. Has anyone else ran into this and if so what was your cure? Thanks

Im in e flat right now........... plays good I tuned by ear with no E tone to go by.... got close !!! Im learning/remerbering the proper tones one day I hope to know an E with no help

Here's the eBay auction while the link's still alive: Click me! Basically, the short version is that there are 2 holes instead of the 1 that goes through standard tuner posts. They're also staggered in height, though that's not a big deal for me. Because they're not straight, the windings have more 'grab' when you tune to pitch, meaning that you don't have to have as many wraps, and that they should theoretically hold on better than a standard tuner. The other option, if I don't go with these, is the "locking tuners" (doesn't seem to say brand name or anything) found for $30US (+shipping) at WD music. The Wilkinson ones are $27 + shipping from GuitarFetish eBay store. The WD one seem more like 'true' locking tuners, but not necessarily high quality. The locking mechanism looks suspect, and they're certainly "no-name" tuners. Neither seem to indicate the gear ratio, though the generic (ie. $9.99 if they were bought retail, I'd wager!) tuners on the Pacifica aren't going to be any better so it's pretty much a non-issue. Greg ← I have a set on an in progress guitar, havent strung them yet but they seem nice. Email a couple people who purchased them and ask, I do it and for every 3 I get 1 reply. I ask allot of ebayers about products they purchased.

It came in yesterday evening! Its great! I recomend it to anyone wanting a lower priced 12 string acoustic/electric. It plays great the strings arent hard to push and the sound is amazing! Its not a small guitar its full sized, binding on front, back and the neck, it has a "mosiac" stripe down the back and on the bottom. the tuners are quality, they look like the more expensive type although they are not locking. It actually seems eaiser to play than my samick 6 string acoustic. I do have to use a pick.... I subconciencely count the strings when I finger pick, and on the 12 it throws me off, but with the pick I hardly have a problem. It is my new toy so I havent let anyone touch it yet My Daughter wants to try it, but hey as my dad use to say " let me lick the red off my candy first!" It plays so easy and sounds so good, I feel like its my birthday!

Whats wrong with the 5 minute type? Thats what I'm using. If your "ready" 5 minutes is plenty of time to put it on.

Any one have experince with one? I have never played a 12 string and figured it would be a great one to try and learn with. Heck I dont even know how to tune one yet! The price seems fair and they have the 45 day return if I cant get the hang of it. Heres the link, any feed back and "tips" I will appereciate. http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-FEN-951613-006.html

Sounds good. Kinda fade it in instead of clean lines... Well I got my epoxy, (devcon 5 min) and acetone to thin it, I couldnt find a dye or pigment though. Thought about trying a couple drops of this black ppg auto paint. Any one tried it? Thanks

Cool Thanks for the tips! I'm headed to work now (got to go measure a couple jobs) and I'll pick the supplies up while I'm out and about. Do you think Black sides will look ok on the tele? I Had tearouts and outs, I used the glue and sanding dust method th fill them, it worked but it isnt pretty, and it came out as dark patches. The neck is painted black I figure painting the "edge" is my only choice.... I could paint the back too but it looks great.

Sounds like a plan! I got the elmers stuff free from work, so no loss. Is Stew-mac or the net the only place to get the black poxy? or will a local lowes ,walmart , or the car parts store have sonething usable?

I have 2 misplaced holes to patch, I am using dark wood filler (by elmers glue I think) They are under the pick gaurd so exact color match is no biggie, The guitar is a solid Padauk tele. I had considered using the filler to fill the grain, then after sanding just clearcoat it. I'm using a 2 part clear (the clear and medium speed hardner) Will this work or is that wood filler on the grain a bad Idea?

I was just talking to my buddy from the caddy shop, he said the reason the fan blow in instead of sucking out is dust in the cracks of the shop, if you pressure the room stuff blows out of the room, if you vacum the room, well you get the idea. He also said their floors are vented, like a raised metal grating with filters underneath. he guessed at a quater mill price tag.......

I use them also..... Cheap and they really work, mine was 6 bucks but its "reusable" and it has a pin valve outlet for draining it.

Im buying next week and considering one of these two, anybody got one of them? or which would you get ? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=prod...P400&lpage=none http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Disp...temnumber=45378
