enlarge would be a better work actually. my gotoh bridge has tiny grooves, i suppose you could play 9s all the way across, but thats really no fun. does anyone just leave their bridge how it is?

i got a nice bone nut, but its a bit short for the guitar it's goin on. is it ok to shim it with a thin piece of wood?

alright, seriously now, who actaully plays with coils out of phase. im not too big on that sound, yes that cancels the noise in common, but it cancels a lot of the sound in common that i want. so then answer this, how do you make a hum reduced single coil, alone. start there, then you can find out how to make a mismatched humbucker (in phase!) that cancels hum. when you say two coils mismatched in series are quiet, but two matched coils in series are quieter, then the mismatched coils are not hum cancelling. you are avoiding the problem by coming up with solutions that halfway work. im writing a paper on this for school, but mostly i want to know how for my own personal use. i like the sound of my pickups, but if they were silent, that would be an improvement

I know it's possible, i have proof in my guitar. a set of lace sensor drop n gains. i've been experimenting with winding my own pickups, but i cant figure out how to achieve hum cancelling with two mismatched coils in series. my friends dad said the inductance had to be the same to cancel hum, but the resistance didnt matter.......i would assume inductance and resistance go hand in hand then......im kinda lost there though... can anyone help me out?

I think i might try it in the middle, im deffinitely not touching my drop n gains, but i would mod the pickup ring. i dont want to route too close to the neck on my sg because the neck isnt the most stable as it is. as for looking stock, 2 drop n gains, a sd invader, bigsby, planet waves locking tuners, schaller roller bridge on an sg goth threw the stock look out the window. dont even get me started on the electronics.....jimi page push/pulls and a distortion pre........i badly sprained my wrist skateboarding on sunday so i'll have to give it a week at least till i can play guitar or even breadboard stuff. i'll let you know how its going when i get started!

Has anyone done a humbucking type sustainer? as in two 4 ohm coils in series? it seems like it would have more area to vibrate the stings and possibly work better on the higher strings..... also i was wondering if a sustainer would work ok in the middle position (supposing i have a 3 humbucker guitar......). does that coil have to have a bar magnet or a steel bar through it? normal pole pieces wont work? Thanks for any info

So what's the problem? ← ..........i believe i said the edge guide only works on fender style headstocks, 6 inline, since this is a curved headstock, 3+3, it doesnt work

actually on their package it gives you an edge guide and tells you to use that

has anyone tried this? i have an old beater guitar layin around that i wouldnt mind saving. i got it for 50$ so i dont really care what happens to it, it is a jay turser les paul bolt on. if i can do the bolt on to set neck conversion, i plan on putting a real top on it.....real wood. im not a big fan of the 1/16th inch plywood and paint top on it now.

i already have these tuners and thats what im going to use. im putting this guitar together for a friend and these are the tuners he chose. he's going with the nickel color scheme

Sweet, that came out very very clean! i removed the truss rod cover and the nut hangs over the truss rod hole which gave me a good spot to wiggle it with my needle nose plyers. it was kind of tough to grab from the side because one side is flat, the other curved, being a gibson style nut. i scored everything with the finest razor i could find just in case, even though the guitar was finished prior to the nut being put on. i taped a business card flush against the nut to protect the fretboard from anything. i grabbed the nut on either side and gently wiggled it free from the glue then went back to the middle and it came out really nice. Thanks for all the help!

Hey, it is 3x3, i was hoping for a slight contour, it is a gibson style headstock. there were tuners before, but they didnt work so well. the tuners i have to put on are sperzel locking tuners. they just have a post that bites into a hole that you drill, no screw. unfortunately, it is on the opposite side of the tuner hole as the screw hole.

i need to remove the cheap plastic nut from a guitar i have, im replacing it with a bone nut. since it is a cheap guitar, im assuming the nut is superglued or wood glued in (yes, the luthiers nightmare). thanks for any help!

im about to put a new set of tuners on a guitar i have, but i dont want it to look like one of those gibsons at guitar center. whats the best way to get all the tuners lined up properly? the tuners came with an edge guide, which doesnt really work for a gibson style headstock........ since it isnt flat on either side like a fender style headstock.

thats what you get for getting a strat body with the worst tremolo system ever invented
