Two questions about nuts: 1) If I get a neck with a plastic nut, how hard is it to replace? I know I could have someone do it, but what's involved in doing it myself? 2) I was looking at a neck that's had a FR locking nut in it, that's been removed, so the nut slot has been cut for it. Is...

Go jump in the 'bass suggestions' thread and give this guy some other opinions. You get doing something a certain way long enough, you don't really pay attention to the changes in your options. I'm an old 'classic rock' guy and I want to make sure I'm not steering this guy the wrong way.

Anyone know whre I can find a satin or brushed nickel control plate for tele? Or how I could make a finish like that on a standard one?

Dammit, it just logged me out while I was composing my post again! I don't have the energy or the patience to type all of that again. Anyway, the point is that this is a unique body that I can't just go out and buy another one of, or I wouldn't waste my time with it.

Anybody ever done this? Just wondering if it was possible and how hard it would be to do. Got my eye on a tele body that need the bridge moved a smidge, and some associated routing done for the bridge pickup. So I was wondering if I could just go ahead and rout it for a humbucker.

Not sure where to put this, here or classifieds. Thinking about selling my 1st version, unmodded Blues Jr. I hate to sell it, but I need the cash. What do you think would be an appropriate price? And don't ask me what board it is, I have no idea. Mods, if this is the wrong forum, feel free to...

If anyone out there's got one they want to sell or trade, pm me.

Another one of my heros is gone. Chris Squire, Yes Bassist and Co-Founder, Dead at 67 | Rolling Stone See you on the other side, big guy. Yeah, I posted this in the other forum, but in case somebody doesn't hang there...

Does anyone know of any Les Paul Specials that are/were not flat-tops? I've never seen one that I recall.

Joyo's in general are reported to be extremely noisey. Has anyone here used one with a noise suppressor pedal? If so, did it help? Did it suck the tone out? Before anyone says 'just buy a better pedal', I've already got an NS pedal, so that wouldn't involve laying out any more cash. And I like...

The 'unique guitar' thread got me thinking, and I was on ebay, so I looked for one I have (that's taken apart and had the finish removed - another unfinished project) just to see if there were any up for sale right now. This is what I found: Vintage 1956 Vega Westerner Electric Guitar Gold Top...

I saw mention of these on another board and it reminded me that I've never heard from anyone who's actually used them. Are they all that they're promoted to be? Or is the difference so small that you have to have the 'ultimate chain' to hear it?

OK, just got an empty 5150 cab for dirt cheap. Pretty beat up, but it's a project anyway so I don't really care. A few questions: There is no batting inside, and of the other pics I've seen, there never was supposed to be. Would it improve anything if I put some in? If so, where? Around the...

I've got a line on a super cheap empty 4x12 cab, but the guy can't find the screws for the back. I've looked online at MF, GC, Sam Ash, & Sweetwater, but I don't see any. Anyone know of a good online source?

What was the model that had the 3 humbuckers? I know it was a Custom, but was there a certain model name for it, or was it just a 3 pickup Custom? And I don't mean the artist sig stuff like the Frehley or the Frampton, I mean the regular stock 3 pickup Custom.

Got one, haven't been able to get a sound I like out of it. What's it supposed to be good for? Is it a hair-metal pedal, hard rock ala Aerosmith, what?

Don't ask me what they're going in. I haven't decided. It'll probably either be a cheapie mahogany LP Special copy (heavy as hell, though!), a cheapie mahogany strat copy, or an LP studio (but I doubt it, cause it's got the best P90s of the bunch). If you've tried multiple minis, how did they...

I've seen a bunch of youtube demos, and there were a couple of them that seemed like what I was looking for. Of course, I'm just listening to them on little computer speakers, so I can only really tell so much from them. The reviewers seem to conclude that they're pretty noisy, though. My...

This might be a common problem, but in my 45 years of playing plugged in, I've never heard this before. My Blues Jr has developed a 'whistle'. Some might call it a squeal, and if you turn it up loud enough I'd be inclined to agree, but I'm calling it a whistle for now. It does it without...

OK, so I've got a little Bugera V5 all-tube amp (don't laugh, I actually like it enough that I bought a second one). Anyhoo, besides having a variable power output (5w, 1w, .1w), it also has a headphone out that cuts off the speaker output when you plug phones in. I always thought that you...
