No you didn't get the point. If the gap was supposed to be 1mm, and it was 1.5mm - that is just a slight cosmetic error. But this is supposed to...

If one more person claims that people are demanding cosmetic perfection when all they are asking for is a guitar without a f*cking great hole...

Ridiculous. John claims he can levitate but he can't. He's barely an inch off the ground!

Don't strawman the opposing argument. Nobody expects perfection, but they are fully entitled to expect far better than has been shown. These are...

Gibson may claim a tolerance of 15 seconds on the neck joint - that would make +/- a half thou at the bridge. We regularly see guitars with...

The thinner the neck the lower the stress on the neck joint. That's just mechanics.

Gibson is a box-shifting business. Sell the lowest quality the customer will put up with.

I was thinking about the hole drilling procedure for the pickguard. If it is done on the auto router, I can't see how it could end up misaligned....

Wow! I'm going to have to rewatch that!

Only need one dpdt for phase reversal. There's no point doing it to both pickups.

I made a bone nut for my Strat. In the usual friction test it measures better than everything, even Tusq.

Wobble is always a problem. The job of the bridge is to be a totally rigid support for the end of the string. If it doesn't do that, energy is...

Don't take any notice about the tone stuff, that's just cork sniffing. the moment you fret a note the nut is totally out of the picture. The...

First, do no damage. Get a piece of card and cut a hole in it the same size as the control cavity. Tape this onto the guitar so slipped soldering...
