spacey


I have an umbrella and a bottle of aspirin...my shades...a ticket to
Siberia !....a bottle of 1800....what else?...and taking deep breaths...
I know I'm missing something...well I'm very glad I'm not waiting for more
days...shipping time was tuff enough.

 
WOW!!!
 
I didn't think it would make that much difference but man, I'm using half the gain and getting twice the signal than previously.
 
It has depth as well as the bite I wanted too which comes out nicely with the tone control if all I want is the angry bite the tone control actually does something now whereas it hardly made a difference before.  Not only that all my previous R/F interference in the bridge position has suddenly gone silent.
Fantastic upgrade, just the ticket.  That sweet spot is just where you said too Michael between 3/16ths and an eigth. I had to leave the covers off to get in that range because the old covers had spacing nibs on them that put them just out of reach of that ball-park.
 
The bad news is my bottom E machine head just went unserviceable so it has become the time to upgrade those before I can use it. Drat and double drat!!!
 
Any recommendations on the lowest-budget possible for some tuners that are actually serviceable?

Jon it's very important that the tuners fit the hole in the head.

Please take time to remove the tuner, post info about it and also the measurement
of the hole.

Just tune the other 5(?) strings to match the bottom E...

I know that Zonno has the same make of cheapo guitar and he had to re-drill to fit new ones, I'm figuring I'm going to have to do the same.
 
I will get that info though.

Here is a nice page to look at some choices.

I just looked at some gold Schaller Di-Vinci that I want
on my next build....geeze...$195.00

Thanks for that page.
 
I'm a bit clearer what I'm after now.
 
Stupid plastic handles on a tiny metal spindle, I'm surprised I've managed to get them to last this long.  Cheap I can live with but these things don't even serve the basic purpose for which they are intended, in fact you couldn't wind up a clockwork train with these derned things without them coming apart.
 
Anyway even on my temporary 5 string this pup is the bomb, and as described in my earlier post!!!

Cheers Spacey I just got a new set of machines direct from Stewie/Mac.
 
I went to the local store this afternoon and he couldn't be bothered and Stewie was the only place to provide detailed measurement info so hopefully I won't need to ream out my 5/16 pegholes to 10mm.
 
They should arrive in a couple of weeks.

That's great Jon. They process orders fast.
Maybe everything will time out perfectly.
That would be icing.

I can't view it at work.....(big red X)...but, Congrats on your custom build!!!

When are you going post a shredding clip of this fancy doodad??

No shred but plenty dread.
 
This axe is being customised as a roots reggae machine

Is this the guitar you're putting them in?
