    I dont have a multimeter so I guess I could just undo all the wires and put it all back together. The white and "black" wires from my pickup are in one wire with what I assume is the back wire's threads around the whiteplastic coated wire. Does this sound normal?

    OK, so my strat style guitar is together in one piece now and there is a problem....im not getting any sound out of it through the amp. It worked a few weeks ago before i took it apart to put the finish on. I checked the wiring and the black and white cables are going where they should be it seems. What could be the problem? Thanks

    Larrivee guitars are amazing and very well priced. They are handmade, and have a nice balance of tone. I got the rosewood back and side, solid spruce top cutaway acoustic electric model (LV03RE) for $950 with tax from Dave at guitaradoptions.com. Their guitars are incredible and I picked it over the $1800 taylor I was playing at Sam Ash. You should check them out, and give it a play. If you call or email Dave he can probably help you select a model and get you a good price. Just be sure to play many different guitars and see which one you like best. Your own taste is the best way to go

    ok, thanks, I'll check it out. I did put a coat of minwax polyurethane gloss on by brush, but I sanded it down since it seemed to run. Do the spray cans run much? Are there a lot of orange peel bubbles?

    what would Rust-oleum specialty spray High Lustre Lacquer fall in to? Good? Bad? Same as stuff from reranch, stew, etc?
  8. GuitarGuy610
    is there any difference in amount of sanding needed between coats, etc. and final look of the mentioned clear coats?

    I'm finishing up my "natural" stained strat project and I was wondering about what to use for the clear stuff. I don't have a compressor or anything so I guess it would have to be something that I could brush on or spray with a can. Home Depot sells spray laquer and polyurthane, is that the best way to go? I could hang my guitar and try to brush on either... Which way do you guys suggest? Thanks!

    Thanks a ton guys! Sorry about the picture problem...I thought it would work with angelfire...I'll find a better place to host my images hehe.

    Hmm, well if thats what the instructions say then I would think it would be correct. You could be sure and call either SamAsh, Guitar Center or the store you bought them from, or even just call Fender and ask them. Fender.com has contact information...good luck!

    Yeah, its all a matter of your own taste. I asked brian about the PRS style kits, too and he said that the PRS style kit has good tuners where as the other kits have crummy tuners. So I guess what I am saying is that I have been advised to replace tuners and pickups in those kits to get the best possible sound. Then again, if you like the sound, then just go for the tuners...

    So I repotted my strat project guitar pickups this morning, and I followeed the instructions in the tutorial section but after dipping them twice and letting them cool, I am wondering if there is too much wax on them. I guess i didnt understand the thing about wiping off excess completly. I wiped off lumps of wax and all but there still is a lot of wax on them. The picture is below. If I did put too much wax on, what effect will this have on the sound? Thanks!
  14. GuitarGuy610
    hmm...well see the thing is...when I turn the volume down the hum / feedback goes away. I'm not really sure what the problem is, i suppose potting them again might be a good idea although they are new... :\ should I post a sound clip sometime? would that helpclarify what I'm talkign about? Thanks!

    I'm building a stratocaster style guitar and the 3 single coil pickups are making a *ton* of feedback...any suggestions? the 5-way switch (or whatever its called) has the soldering close, but not touching, for the different pickup leads. could that be the problem? Thanks guys!
  16. GuitarGuy610
    anyone know?
  17. GuitarGuy610
    Well? I just got a set of pickups that I ordered from an auction and they are supposed to be taken from a fender standard stratocaster but how do I verify that? I can't see fender writen anywhere on the pickups...what should I look for? Thanks!
  18. GuitarGuy610
    nope, damn saga to hell
  19. GuitarGuy610
    OK, so those pickups suck...but I fixed that by ordering a set of Fender Strat pickups from a japan made strat. I'm still a little pissed...
  20. GuitarGuy610
    Are the economy necks from Universal Jems any good? What would be different between them and liscensed necks? Thanks guys!
  21. GuitarGuy610
    so if i got a pickup assembly that was sent from saga musical instruments, then the pickups are those sucky kind, right?
  22. GuitarGuy610
    Are they a lot worse than standard, say, mighty mite pickups?
  23. GuitarGuy610
    SH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TI
  24. GuitarGuy610
    ahh, shoot@ It came today and was from saga, so i assume its not mighty mite pickups How do saga sound? Anyone know?

    I doubt that regular strats have nice lightweight ash, but that is a nice body. I bought some of them once and I'm really happy with the quality. whew! i was worried for a while there!
