  1. Thicker strings are harder to pull so the truss rod needs to exert more force to resist them. Thinner strings are being pulled against the fret board as the truss rod is resisting more than needed. You therefore need to reduce tension on the truss rod I imagine it as a tug of war where a team member leaves on one side - with him the two sides are evenly matched
  2. That is indeed a Mary Kay finish - very hard to do well
  3. Need screwdrivers / Allen keys / feeler guages I also got a steel ruler and an oilstone as it’s wide and abrasive
  4. I learned to do it … it’s easy with help of @Andyjr1515 and some other kind folks - read through and only used an£11 kit from eBay - link is in the thread
  5. Probably overbow given the lighter strings - just release truss rod
  6. Johnny depp also I think
  7. @TimR Hammond - had an Inca silver jazz at one point (mph at brum)
  8. I’d like to play with the whole of her. I’d register as a charity and donate to it and also to her choice of charity - which is only fair unde the circumstances

  10. You could hang on to the yellow one for a bit and make it into double digits 🏆
  11. You should buy it in blue and yellow …
  12. Ed Friesland endorses it
  13. Just Killing all guitar noise is fine by me - they don’t need to die as without a guitard they make no weedy sounds

  15. Standard 62 era feature - I used copper tape to get the look and do same job on my stack knob build
  16. But we were there … 🤔was there another room ?
  17. I insist on an answer damnit ungrateful b’stard
  18. Just stick with flatwounds …is my advice and use foam at the bridge - I use a dishwashing sponge
  19. Nope, she’s a keeper
  20. I loaned mine to someone and he actually took care of it, despite being a guitarist.
  21. Entirely normal
  22. I have a cheap one made by reverb, it’s round. It handles a low B nicely
  23. Wow those squier cv basses are looking convincing these days … and that hooky decal too. Nice job 😉
  24. Maybe the air worked differently then, or perhaps the electricity used was a different shade of rose-tinted
  25. And flat wounds since those are vintage whereas rounds are not
