Cool, so is the graphite I bought good? I thought maybe not since I could write on paper with it, it's like the best stuff McMaster had and listed some pretty heavy duty applications with it. I also ordered a 4 x 4 Corian sample from Dupont to make sure I got the real stuff.
I have an Ibanez RG 7 string neck that is from a tremolo equipped guitar that I want use on a hardtail. I know I can use the Floyd style nut without the pressure pads but I want something a little more aesthetically pleasing. So here's what happened...I saw an Ebanol replacement nut for 6 strings at AllParts and got inspired, so I looked at Graphtech and none of their materials are big enough. So I ordered a piece of graphite stock from McMasterCarr and I'm looking at it and writing on paper with it thinking it's not what I need. Any suggestions? Maybe Brass?
No. That's what is so crazy, I've changed strings, adjusted the pickups, intonation, and saddle height. I thought it may be the fret, but it's brand new and hammered in tight.
Hey guys, this has never happened before. When I strike a harmonic at the 5th fret of my low B (7-String) it makes a repetitve wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah sound like when you are tuning except I'm only striking the one note.
I convererted a 6 to a 7 string once, drilling out the holes and glueing some dowel rods the cutting them of with a flush cut hand saw worked out really well, plus your replacing wood with wood!
Hey guys. I just recieved a Gold Hipshot Hardtail Bridge in the mail yesterday. It's not as visually stunning as I expected, the saddles are coated with a gold colored substance that looks like it will rub off fairly easily. Are the saddles made from something that is fabulous for tone but not so good looking in gold?
