    Any Loudness Fans? Rare Pickup Find

    There is 1 set left in black, but with the yen rate they’d be around $500. I don’t think thats too bad since custom shop alone would be $360 for a set but these are limited and unopened. Let me know if you want me to grab them :D

    The final nail in the coffin and real death of most Mom and Pops.........

    Stores didn’t kill stores. Private sales did. Any jackass can list a product for damn near brick and mortar prices and consumer will pay it.

    The seller is auroracustomshop. They sell the necks already finished. They install the nut, graphtech level, crown, dress, and polish the frets. I think they offer decal service as well. The price is stupid cheap and I was surprised how good the feet work and nut work was.

    Distance from Bridge to Pickup

    The ruler serves several purposes. I use the small metal ones String heigh most importantly. I can get an idea if I can improve the playability based on the current height and relief. Also, at least here in Japan, there’s for more options for brands, but not all of them are accurate spec. For...

    Looks like Chubtone is closing up shop at the end of year?

    Oh man. I feel honored to have owned 2. My #117 is the only guitar that I’ve custom ordered and it’s not going anywhere.

    Silent Coated Springs…fodder?

    I hate coated springs. They add noise through preventing proper ground between your bridge and claw. Be sure to file away the coating from the loop and block hook.
