Well if you are happy to wield the soldering iron, take some close up pics first, which will help massively if you forget what cable goes where. Check out which pot you need, there will be a set of numbers on it as identity. Order yourself a replacement pot, cts are great and not much dosh. Fire up the soldering iron. If you are not concerned about keeping all the rest original, you could get a drop in, complete new wiring loom and controls from our very own Kiogon, no soldering required.

I do the same as PaulWarning, sound check without ear plugs but then use them for the gig. I enjoy playing at what I feel is a sensible volume, if the band really gels and is a tight unit, then it will sound powerful, which to my way of thinking is much better than just being loud.

Very authentic looking, love the level of relicing.

Happy to recommend Tim as another of the good guys to deal with.

Good day Rich. Does this happen with one particular make of string?

Looks great, a very tidy job and the photos aren't bad at all

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1451475247' post='2940731'] I agree with the above, but unfortunately there are songs I just will [i]not [/i]play and so I don't 'do' covers bands. They include, but are not limited to: Sex On Fire, All Right Now, Mustang Sally, Mr Brightside, Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Home Alabama, All The Small Things, Get Lucky, Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar, Play That Funky Music, Creep, Smoke On The Water, Hotel California, Superstition, Proud Mary, Wonderful Tonight, Born To Be Wild, Wonderwall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Moves Like Jagger... and yes, bleeding Summer of Fecking 69. There you have it. There are lots more but I can't think of them right now... [/quote] I guess I won't be asking you to dep for me then

Just hoping that my body doesn't continue to fall to bits too rapidly and that I'm able to keep gigging for another year.

Great review as usual Discreet

I used Lemon Oil for years and never had any problems with it but for the last year or so, since my wife bought my a bottle, I've been using this. I'm really impressed with it, only a tiny amount is needed and it can be used not only for the fret board but the whole instrument, including strings and hardware. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Ducks-String-Electric-Acoustic-guitars/dp/B00FA3GROU

Happy to start a thread and recommend Signal Path. Bought a gig bag from me, great comms and paid immediately.

What a great find and a good looker. Give us an update, once you've bonded a bit

Nice work, looks great

They both had brilliant house bands. They both turned out material that I loved and some that didn't do it for me.

For the first time in well over twenty years my house is a Wal free zone and I don't like it I will be looking to get another I think, even though I'm pretty sure most of them are too heavy for me to gig with these days. There are a whole lot of lovely instruments to consider. I would be taking my time, doing the research and looking at Dingwall, Lull, Spector, Fender, G&L, Alpha, ACG etc.

Do you play Mustang Sally? Do you play Brown Eyed Girl? Do you play Alright Now? Do you play Johnny B Goode?

What a splendid outcome, like you say, shame it took so long to get there. Although maybe that makes it all the sweeter
