    Famous guitar sounds recipes

    Not really sure what you're looking for. A lot of it comes down to the guitar/amp combinations that these players prefer. If you do a little research in Guitar Player's online archives, you'll find interviews with all those people in which they talk about their gear. That said, I could...

    Hipshot tremsetter on a strat

    Oh, something else. When I change strings I normally replace one at a time rather than removing the whole set. So the Strat hadn't been completely stringless in several years. When I removed the strings to replace the nut I discovered that the D-string tuner was rattling around on the...

    Hipshot tremsetter on a strat

    Update - LSR Nut Hey, ZoSo - I installed a Fender LSR nut over the weekend. It's a pretty straightforward install. The package contains the nut, a plastic widget for retrofitting the nut onto Wilkinson-equipped guitars, shims, and the two mounting screws. It would have been nice if they'd...

    If you want to stick with a LP.....there are plenty of used LPs out there. Just make sure you get a S/N from the seller, and check it at Gibson's web site.

    Hipshot tremsetter on a strat

    If that doesn't work out, then I'll just have it fixed to accept a regular nut.

    Hipshot tremsetter on a strat

    Right. I'm not sure if I can even get a Wilkinson any more. If not, I'll probably try fitting a LSR, because (1) the fretboard is already mostly prepped for it, (2) it's relatively cheap and (3) I'd rather not have my Strat sitting in the luthier's shop for a month while he keeps putting it on...

    Only until you kill them by dousing your pubes with gasoline and setting them on fire. Then they're dead. :)

    Hipshot tremsetter on a strat

    Muttley, the issue is that the Wilkinson roller nuts on our '89 and '91 Strat Plus models are binding and wreaking havoc with tuning when we do deep vibrato dives. I have removed mine and cleaned and lubed it to little if any effect. You can't easily retrofit a standard nut on these models...

    It started out as a Hipshot thing but evolved into a roller nut thing.

    "Muttley, please come to the service counter. Muttley, please come to the service counter." :D Hey, Mutt - would you have a look at the thread about roller nut problems and offer words of wisdom? Thanks...
