Gimme Some Ideas

One more...

why aren´t maple fretboards or necks dyed? I mean, most maple fretboards get a finish, right? Wouldn´t it be possible to dye it blue and hardcoat it? I suppose it´s not a new notion and that there are major disadvantages to that...else it would have been done, I suppose.

I finished my exploder all dark red...including the fretboard and neck...

I've had one in the words for a while that's going to be dyed.

So I disassembled the guitar and went to take the covers off of the pickups...

They're supposed to be P-90s in a hum-sized casing. They're not. They're plain singles on a hum base.

Now, they don't sound bad. Don't misinterpret me at all. But they're not P-90s. I don't even want them any more.

If anyone wants them, PM me. $20 shipped. They're Artecs. I'll be posting this in the selling section as well.

So.....you like the way they SOUND.

But you're selling them because of what they LOOK like.

And their purpose is to SOUND GOOD.

OK, I'm lost.

That's fair.

I'm not going to deny that you have me dead to rights. I'm not even going to say that it makes any logical sense. They're just not what I thought they were, so I don't want them any more.

It's not about having you 'dead to rights', it's more about why you make the decisions you make, and is that a good reason to base a decision on.

I have a Harmonic Design S-90, which is a Telecaster bridge pkp, advertised as P-90 sounding, it's a single coil, and it absolutely is an outstanding pickup, rich, thick meaty tone.

Not exactly like a P-90, but it's close enough for arguments sake, and is a terrific sounding pickup, I would never sell it.

Just food for thought.
