Am I a better guitar player than I was last week? No. And that's a problem.:m9:

There are variables that can make a particular pickup shine/shit. I recently noticed that a partscaster Star guitar build of mine had the bridge pickup placed pretty far from the bridge. Les Pauls in particular place the bridge pickup closer to the bridge so that's my reference when it comes to...

Good tone is loud and heavy. I paraphrased Tom Bukovac there.

I know that many years ago Weber changed suppliers and their speakers changed and not by just a little bit. I called them about it and they said "should sound the same". But they didn't. I think that's why @Scumback Speakers fell out with Weber, because they just willy-nilly changed parts in...

Not even close.

The ground wire usually goes to a stud, which touches the bridge (or stop bar, doesn’t matter). When you string it up the strings make contact with the bridge (or stop bar) and that grounds the strings. Anything the strings contact (like tuners or a metal nut) will then also be grounded. So...

I might just be druck but the last sentence in post #3 makes me think he has no strings on the guitar yet. You guys realize that right?

Every guitar I’ve owned buzzed when you took your hands off the guitar, especially with gain. Put your hands/forearm/etc on any grounded metal part and the buzz goes away. I must be missing something here. This thread is bizarro world.

And get rejected, with confidence.

That’s the way it’s supposed to work right? Take your hands off guitar = buzz; touch any grounded metal piece = no buzz. What am I missing? I don’t think he even has strings on the guitar yet.

Hecho a mano Yes finding the right surface for staking by hand is a big deal.

You have to be touching the strings/bridge for it NOT to buzz. If you’re other guitar doesn’t buzz then I don’t what to tell you except that somehow your forearm/whatever is touching the strings/bridge/tuning pegs/output jack/sleeve of the cable/etc OR you have a magical guitar.

I have one guitar with a 59n that sounds great…every other time I’ve tried it…nope. They should be soldered tho. If for no other reason than to insure the cover is grounded.

Press your finger on the cover when it squeals, does that stop it or reduce it? If so it’s probably just the cover. Lots of methods to fix that but all of the long term solutions I know of require removing the cover either putting tape/wax/etc in there to damp the cover from vibrating then...

I do this all the time…partly because I severed tendons in my right index finger in my mid 20s. So that finger forever points straight and when picking it points pretty much straight up the fretboard. So I decided to make my ‘handicap’ a strength of sorts. It is forever poised to tap softly. I...

Yeah these companies might want to label their shipments as ‘Fecal Matter Online!’ or something other than ‘Cletus Vintage Guitars’.

Very cool! When I’ve messed with dual/triple amp rigs it seems certain amps are more compatible with each other. Sometimes two great sounding amps just don’t work when switching between them. Not sure why. Now you need signs for each amp: DON’T - WAKE - THE - BEAR

That was an interesting way to shield the Bright channel input wire.
