  1. Ignoring the obvious nut change are there any other major issues with using a left hand neck on a right hand body? So hard to find a reverse head strat neck. Any ideas?
  2. So, I can then assume, it is authentic and just one of many iterations.? If I replace all the gold hardware what could it be worth, almost 50 yrs old now.
  3. O.K. So where has it been put? What is it's new sub forum location?
  4. Not sure if this is the right place for this but. I have owned my SG Custom White guitar since 1967 and in all my travels and gigs as a band member I have never seen one like it. Now, I've always wondered about this issue but never before pursued it. The biggest difference is in the black surround for the three pickups, mine doesn't have it, and I have never seen another like it. Did I get screwed with buying a second when I originally purchased it? Does anyone know anything about this? I made some awful mistakes to mine by devaluing it with squiggles made with an electric Black and Decker engraver pen. Remember those, it was stupid and ruined any real value.
  5. This drop is a companion to my post for body blank, but is good alone. It is pre cut in the PRS style but could be used in a double cut or LP style body. Seasoned for a good eight years here in New England in dry storage in my closet of goodies. It is the last one I have and is a one of. Asking price for this is, $35.00 + shh. If by chance you buy it with the Mahogany Body we can make a deal as a bundled price and keep shipping costs down. PM me with questions or offers.
  6. This blank is well seasoned at 15 years dry and stable storage. It is, factory radio frequency finger glued, quarter sawed, Honduras Mahogany. A full two inches thick with one rough side. Suitable for right or left hand, chambered or solid construction and perfect for drop topping. I have two on hand at a ridiculously low price of just $75.00 + shipping. PM me with all inquires or offers.
  7. No photos exist, and I have the original neck plate from it, with number stamped in. But, I have been forbidden from selling them by my children, they seem to think I should leave the pups to them as some kind of legacy. But again, yes it was an original 1967 edition and not a re issue, of a tobacco burst Strat. I got luck when I bought it in 1970 for a cool $75.00 at a music store inventory reduction sale.They are still soldered together but not to the pots and are numbered. I guess I will have to be keeping them or my kids will dissown me. This is one reason that I confess, I have done a most vile and despicable act that can not be reversed.
  8. I got this set of super clean 1967 Strat pickups, all three direct from the guitar, I even have the original pots, cap, and some other stuff from the same guitar, and I am wondering what they are worth. Just an estimate before I get crazy and ask too much for them and never get them sold. So what would they go for?
  9. O.K. I also have the same electronic issue mentioned here, but there is a caviet. It has happened to a guitar, my Shecter Diamond, that has never been opened. I have used various cable types and it still is there. And to add to the mystery, it started to happen with my two year old Tele that, also has never been opened. ***???
  10. As an accomplished woodworker I'd say one of the major issues will be, how to maintain it's pliability throught the process. I have done plenty of veneering in my life but all flat work. Most curved or circular work is done in multiple pieces and species so surface forming is not an issue. I too look forward to seeing how you've solved this issue.
  11. Not sure if this is the right place for this. It's realy a stupid question. I have a Fender FM212 Front Man about eight or nine years old, but that is of no real issue. On the control panel there are these two inputs, one is marked PRE OUT and the other, PWR IN. The manual says they can be used for effects device in this way. " Connect pre out to an effects device input, then connect the effects devise output to PWR IN". It goes on to describe how to connect multiple amps and recording or reinforcment. What is concidered an effects device and what will this option do for me?. Does this mean I can say, plug in my wha pedal and use it connected to the amp insted of connecting it in the normal way, guitar to pedal pedal to amp. What is concidered reinforcement??. I don't use it much anymore and I never used it on stage during a performance. Comments????? I used an old Sunn Sceptre, 4 12's and an exrtra 2, 12's
  12. O.K. My reason for this question is that I am very hesitant to drill holes in a very expensive guitar just so I can have a whammy bar. I am partial to Bigsby's but don't want to put up with the inherent detuning effects of dive bombing all over the universe. Maybe my next idea might work. Until next time..........
  13. Does the locking mechanism have to be screwed to the headstock, or can it float with the strings. Not a locking nut mind you , but I have an idea for a decorative piece that I could use as a string locking device, comments
  14. Visual inspection is O.K. All strings break the nut equally. Yes I first tun with open strings and a Korg Mini Tuner. So, I was doing it correctly then. What if it takes too long to get it even close?. How to do it with success is the trick I'm looking for .
  15. O.K. I get the part, if it's sharp, or flat move towards or away from the neck, but. Here's my issue. Once I get the tuning correct with open strings, and find that at the octave it's not correct, and, I move the saddle to compensate the open string is out of tune. What am I doing wrong?. My biggest issues are with my G string, it's never been right. HELP!!!
