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.
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...
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...
Fixed that for you. Love the predictable progressive narrative in that if we don’t agree with you we are the enemy. The US does not see Australia as an enemy. It goes back to weakening globalism to allow all counties to do what’s best for their citizens and not having a global pool of elites...
So, Trumps tariffs don’t include 98% of your exports under CUSMA, so Canada is NOT dramatically affected. Canada has a 35% baseline tariff for imports for nations not covered under preferred status nation under the WTO. Trump is simply trying to unshackle the US from the Globalist control of...
70 countries are now renegotiating tariffs. How some people think it’s okay for another country to tax our imports they think that’s fine. When we ask for reciprocal equal taxes and they refuse, we’re the bad guy? Please explain the logic?
Marine Corps 1990-2001
After the military, I’ve spent a lot of my career supporting the military. I worked at Lockheed Martin before making the move to Okinawa Japan where both my wife and I are civilian employees currently supporting the DoD
Didn’t like the vintage spaces trem. The strings ride too close to the fret edges. I bought a nickel kluson vintage narrow to bring the string in some. Got it aged and installed. Also remembered o can’t stand the proximity of the volume pot, so got an undrilled pick guard and made some room...
It’s an earlier single input mono cab. Glad I finally got a matching cab for my 89s 4 holer Jose mod. It came with 2 vintage 30s for $200. Luckily I had 2 more V30s from a crappy 2x12 I pickup up last month for $100, so, all in for $300. The 4 holer I got for $750.
