Rick500 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Yep, just get the ferrules from Stew-Mac. Quote
ToddW Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I did and I think that was the only time Stewmac was less $ than ebay! Quote
NotYou Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Yep, just get the ferrules from Stew-Mac. How is that cover plate held on? Quote
Rick500 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Neodymium magnets. Thanks for noticing. Quote
NotYou Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Neodymium magnets. Thanks for noticing. I was thinking about using magnets for that, but I was unsure how they'd react to the pickups. I got thinking about it when I saw a guitar made for Ted Nugent that had a magnetic quick release cover with a pistol underneath. I don't want to do the pistol thing... I think... but I like the flush look. Quote
mayhem Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Neodymium magnets. Thanks for noticing. Stoopid question: How do you remove the plate when you need in, without scratching the finish with a pocket knife or screwdriver, or something? That is a mighty fine way to put on a plate, btw. Quote
Rick500 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 There's enough room near the top right of the cover as seen on that pic, to stick a guitar pick in there and pop it open. Quote
westhemann Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I took a AA battery wrapped in sandpaper and made a finger slot on mine. Quote
Rick500 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Ooh, very cool! (Love that finish too.) Quote
mayhem Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I took a AA battery wrapped in sandpaper and made a finger slot on mine. Very nice! I like that idea a whole bunch, it is real classy and functional. Ditto on the finish Quote
