  1. Leave it as is. just file the pickup ring or pick guard to fit it

    the case is a shield. in fact the best shield available

    and just solder some extensions on and heat shrink them

    trust me on this. i had the same problem with the one i had

    and while i was able to make it work i would not recommend it

    the case is filled with epoxy making it extremely difficult to get to the solder points

    which are very short and small gauge leads that can break very easily

  2. Dear Rhoads56,

    Unfortunately, your attempt at advice was of little help. Thankfully, many of the subsequent responders were very helpful. You might reflect on just why you post on this site. Is it to help others, or to make yourself feel superior to others?

    i disagree his advice was very accurate

    and Perry loves to feel superior. therefore his post :D

  3. Wes is right

    i have JB's in all my guitars

    one is maple body 1 peice maple bolt on neck another is all mahogany set neck

    and a korina neck thru. all have Floyds and recorded i dont realy here a differance but live i do

    and i have hearing that picks up every thing up to a mouse fart in china but i cant tell them apart on a recording tape or digital

  4. Thats opinion

    But a very smart one

    Ive worked with proplayers who wont play on any strings unless theve had this done

    They can afford the gear to waste (though in my 26yrs in and around guitars i don't recall one pro doing this. But i could be wrong

    depending on the brand and gauge of strings it can make them last longer (filling the tiny gaps in between the winds on the covered strings stops finger grease and crap from getting in there and corroding them!)

    they may help strings last longer just suck their tone sooner (alas a dead string)

    the wax is no more than crud itself not to mention it will act as a crud catcher

    But then at the same time it means down sides such as no pinch harmonics, etc

    which means dead toneless strings

    dude I'm not trying to cut you down its that its just bad advice especially to kids that dont have money to buy strings or replace their guitars when the fingerboard gets all crammed with wax that won't come out. and sucks the tone right of of their pride and joys

    as for the cleaner i have not seen it in a while but i dont go out to the stores either

    but home depot carries Blitz metal cleaner and thats all the string cleaner is

  5. As a last resort you could use wax on the strings. Use a candle and rub it up and down the full length of your strings a few times then blow the lose crap of and play. This helps yoru strings last longer aswell.

    thats a horrible thing to do to your strings

    not to mention the fingerboard if its unfinished
