Bob, that is exactly where my mind keeps going every time this thread pops up! :lol:
Yeah, most reputable repair shops would probably fill the notch and refile anyway if the nut was epoxied in place. They might just do it that way...
Agree with the superglue/baking soda. That would also be a good repair, definitely not a "kludge". I guess it would depend on how much money you...
Agreed. While it is possible for the nut to cause buzz issues you will want to be really sure since the solution is likely going to be replacing...
Very nice, I'd rock it! :dude:
That sounds more like an intonation issue that should be addressed in the initial players set up. Intonation should get adjusted along with string...
Yup, If you are going to record all the parts yourself you want a DAW for sure. Something like Garage Band or Audacity are free options that will...
There are a lot of different ways of going about it, much of what you need will depend on the approach you want to take. If you are a solo artist...
I should have specified, the one he shown in the video since I can't speak for all of them (never having owned one of these of any vintage). The...
I also noticed that the 1950's bridge has a much more pronounced radius than the later one which is nearly flat. This means unless the setup...
That definitely qualifies as the "bombproof" option. I've never used one, but as long as the intonation is good at the start (no further...
Also a workable solution, any idea if it would be a simple thing to retrofit? I've never used an ABR-1 before, but it seems like it would be...
Chasing around on the floor of a dark crowded biker bar looking for a dropped saddle sounds like a miserable way to spend a couple futile hours...
Yup, most things like that ship a bit oversized so they can be fitted by hand to the guitar. The level of fit and finish required is simply beyond...
I have about 7 or 8 different kinds of stands I use at home, sometimes for long periods of time (weeks to months). So far none have caused issues....
I just did a bit of looking and found this thread on another forum:...
OK, it does appear that there is nothing beyond string tension to hold the entire screw/saddle sub assembly in the bridge bar itself, and that...
Can you post a photo? My gut is telling me something is wrong here, as nothing should fall out if a string breaks. A picture might give more...
Hard shells are nice, but not a big necessity for the home player (assuming reasonable care). If you start gigging, they are a "must". The more...
:D:D:D "... a Popish engine to destroy the king" HAH! So a lot like an SG in terms of the perception of the instrument in terms of political peril...
