I am elated with the success of my first build and now want to finish the one I started about a year ago. It is a Tele with a SD rail at the bridge and a three-way selector switch. My only problem with it is that I put a Fender noiseless at the neck and the difference between the two pickups is WAY too great. Brian's site has three offerings that should solve the output problem but I don't know which one to go with. I just play standard 80's classic rock type stuff. No metal. There is the MNP, the SNP, and the DP172. Mostly, I want to get the two pickups to play well together without a lot of volume control adjusting to go from bridge to mix to neck. The SD rail is simply wired as a ser/par through a push-pull before the 3-way and the rest of the wiring/switching is dead-standard Tele. Any and all opinions are welcome but I hope Brian sees this. Thank you guys. You rock!

The other guitar player in one of the bands I play with has a cheap Schecter with a real thin top laminate that has seperated from the wood underneath where the two top pieces meet just south of the bridge. It also has some seperation around the bottom curve from the strap-post to about a quater of the way to the top. This seperation is from this thin top stuff to the binding plastic. Does he need to take the whole top off or can he inject CA or another adhesive in the seperation and reclamp? The finish is a nice transparent blue but I don't think the looks will kill him. It is a really nice sounding guitar with a nice neck. If I hadn't really looked at it I would have said it had been dropped real hard on its butt except there is no impact evidence at all and no finish damage. I don't mind a "scrap it" advice if it is not worth fixing. Thanks in advance!

crafty, you nailed where I got them but they cost me more then a dollar. I am going to take all four sets back monday because their wound strings can't take an hour of playing. My uncle gave me a set of DeAddarios and they are WAY better. Thanks everybody. Godin, I am gonna trade those SITs for Boomers when I get to the GC store Monday. If for nothing else, the name RULES! Again, thanks to all.

HI!! I just strung up my first self-built guitar with one of the sets of SIT strings I got talked into by a local music store. 46 to 10 guage nickels. You can take the winding on the low E string and move it up and down the neck about .125" at the 12th fret. Put two strings from different sets on and they were both the same. Intonation was really hard to set because of the constant crawling up and down on the strobe tuner from that string. Really doesn't sound all that bad plugged in but I wonder if they might have left the "H" out of their name. Are these just bad strings alltogether or could I have got a couple of bad sets? I have never seen strings with loose outer windings before.
