    I can remember watching Ronnie Montrose in the eighties when he was touring with Gamma and he had a pup mounted on two rails. Move it toward the neck, more bass. Move it toward the bridge, more treble. It made for one hell-of-a tone control...

    Like stated above, it really sounds like there is something going on at the point where the bridge meets the studs. Make sure that there is a clean edge on the bridge and no wobble on the studs. Your spring tension sounds allright, let us know...

    Looking at it, I assume that you are talking about the metal hole in the back of the neck pocket. If so, it is for a 'micro-tilt', that lets you set the neck angle.

    I have an old chandler strat body that I have stripped down. I bought a flame maple 'drop cap' on ebay for $15.00. Since I got it, it has started to warp all over the place. I am about done prepping the body for the cap, now, how do I get the cap flat again? It is about 1/8th of a inch thick. Should I get it wet and then smash it between a couple peices of plywood with a 70 lb bag of sand on top to keep things flat when it dries, or am I way off...

    There is a place in the SF/Bay Area called Torres Eng. That has been doing amp mods forever. They do mail order and sell 'kits' to mod specific amps. They sell all of the parts, as well as plans, and compleate kits. Go here Torres Engineering to check out what he's got.

    I do not do the VH 'dive bomb' kind of thing, so I really do not need a locking set up. I have two of the Wilkensen bridges, one on my 2002 Am Series Strat, and one on a brand new Warmoth that I am almost done with ( sprayed the clearcoat oner the "BRETTOCASTER" headstock decal tonight). Anyway, I love these bridges. You can set them blocked (detune only), or floating. Together with a nicely cut graphite nut, and locking machine heads, I can stay about 95% in tune when getting agressive with it. For more subtle things, it stays in tune very well, without the "warbleing/flutter" thing that happens with Floyds when you pick aggressively.

    I see an ad for a place around LA that chrome plates guitar bodies every once in a while on ebay. You can start your sherch there...
