So if you're still 12, you'll do OK on guitar.
If not, practice, practice, practice.
If you have the ear/brain/body connection to learn and play by ear, you'll do fine. If not, you'd better learn to read music.
I think you're missing the point - NO STYLE is a style.
And besides, it's the music that counts most, not the show. I still listen to LP's and CD's, and they say lots of folks listen to MP3's. No show or visual style there.
Anyway, I was just funnin' ya. :)
To my knowledge there is no "proper fix" commercially available currently, though it is possibly being worked on.
Easiest by far is moving one end of a resistor. This can be done without removing the board from the unit. You lose one gain position, but this is of minimal importance.
Replacing that resistor isn't going to fix anything - it will just keep that resistor from frying. You'll still have the "gain pop" voltage/current spike and all the rest of the potential damage it entails.
I made a tuning wrench from a copier rod. One end I pounded flat and made an open end wrench for the fine tuners, and on the other I welded a 1/4" drive socket for the tuning pins.
The electronics switch on when the cable plug is inserted into the jack. I thought I'd add a status indicator LED. I've since moved the location centrally by the bridge.
