Hey Everyone, Tore apart my donor single coil, and I've glued spacer in for the recommended 3mm coil size. I found 32g (.2mm) wire at Fry's Electronics locally. I had a couple of quick question while I'm waiting for the glue to dry. #1 has anyone tried using a thicker gauge strings on their "sustainer" guitar. I thought that the thicker B and E strings might help to get them sustaining longer. The guitar I'm using for this is going to strictly be setup for the sustainer, so if putting thicker strings on there is beneficial then I'm going to go for it. #2 I assume that whammy bars are well suited for use with the sustainer? My "sustainer" guitar is a hardtail, but I may consider putting a bigsby type trem on there if it seems like it will make it more "playable". I noticed a lot of whammy work in PSW's sound samples, that's why I'm asking. God bless, Kevin

Hey All, Been lurking for a bit, but still a noob. I have a few projects that I will likely ask questions about here, but the first one should hopefully be the easiest. I have a Les Paul copy that someone had painted in purple ceramic paint. My dad and I stripped the crap paint off, and found a real nice hard (poly ?) red finish that has white binding with small black lines in it. The only problem I'm having is there are a few spots on the binding that still has a little of the crap paint on it. What's the best way to get the paint off without messing up the binding, or having to replace it. Fine steel wool ? Super light sanding followed with plastic polish ? Thanks! Kevin

Thanks man. I'll likely try the Rat Shack wire first just for the prototype. I'll check a few place as well to see if they have it. God bless, Kevin

Hey Everyone, New to the board. I looked for the answer to my question, but gave up after looking through about 50 pages I think I have a very light grasp of the way it works. I'm looking to build my own using an old single coil for the driver, and the Fetzerruby circuit. Where is everyone getting their 32awg or .2mm wire in the States (specifically AZ or the Southwest)? I'd like to find it locally, but wouldn't mind ordering some if need be. I'm planning on putting this in my very first guitar. It's a cheap strat style body with only one pickup (humbucker in the bridge), and a stop tail bridge. The guitar is pretty thin in comparison to most. Will that have an effect on the sustainer ? Thanks and God bless! Kevin
