The jescar, not sure the exact measurements. A little different than the typical Dunlop sizing. They’re a little more narrow than Jumbos but wider than medium jumbos, but taller

So, I can’t stand tiny frets. And not only were they tiny, they were pretty worn. The previously owner played the shit out of this guitar, and I can attest it’s a beast. It appears to be solid mahogany, no maple cap, so it’s a very full sounding guitar I hade swapped the mismatched dimarzios...

The same specs are used for many model. I get getting a model that’s not in production, but an custom shop version of your favorite is questionable

I thinmnits Crazy for people to pay for Duncan custom shop humbuckers. They’re still machine wound. Just someone else watching the machine. Their single coils are hand wound, but not humbuckers

Let me guess. Someone had a WTB thread?

Same happened to me at the TGP. Interestingly. I had the same credentials with only one other forum, myLespaulforum

I actually went to Ochanomizu last week, over 50 guitar stores in a small area and surprisingly I didn’t buy anything. Perhaps it was because I was hungover and screwed up transferring trains, and was overwhelmed but I’m pretty content now. The only movement on the guitar front is that I just...

Thanks, but I’m unable to fill orders at the moment

The Blades comes with a built in fire extinguisher holder. He should have patented it.

If Marshall wasn’t the king of making amps that almost sound good, people wouldn’t mod them.

Transparency here, for the boutique builder not mass producing, you’re looking at a minimum of $25-30 just for quality parts, not counting covers, packaging, waste, shop materials, or equipment. This also does not include time spent ordering, packaging, mailing, emails, or prototyping. This...

While those prices are insane, it’s. It just wire around a magnet. It’s like saying Dennys stake is the same as a Michelin star restaurant because it’s just beef

Steve, not at the moment. I’ve struggle with finding good wire Lin country and not happy with it. At the same time, ive taken kn an Executive position for a company supporting the the military here in Japan. I haven’t given up yet, but not taking order either. I’m hoping for things to settle down.

The perceived looseness is relative. Swapping an A2 into a pickup that had an A5 will increase inductance and lowers the resonant peak of the pickup. You can certainly wind a tight A2 pickup by adding tension or increase the winds per layer. You may like Alnico 8s

My observation is that a lot of the DiMarzio neck pickups use the cheaper higher gauge wire. They also used brass baseplates on quite a few models which are cheaper. If I want to make a less expensive recipe pickup, the recipe is there with many of their models.

My Vigier is the best guitar I have ever owned. I get humidity swings here in’s Japan between 40-85% and it’s the most stable guitar I own.

This thing was a sh!tshow electronically. It had 4 push pulls that were beyond useless. This is a prime example of why some people shouldn’t have soldering irons. I put in 4 new CTS pot and rewired everything. Have it a fretboard treatment with my secret Japanese conditioner, lubed the nut...

Mahogany neck and body. No maple cap

Burny LC-70RR. It needs a little work. I have some aged gold covered pickups I can put in to restore the aesthetics as well as a block selector ring. The electronics are a rat’s nest, but otherwise this thing is a beast. The pickups are in there now are a super distortion and an air classic...

Only if you use lube
