    So if I bought an Antex 30W soldering iron would most replacement tips fit, are they universal sizes?

    Has anyone heard from Howard recently, I haven't since May 26th... Hope he's okay?

    Looking to get myself a soldering kit, I've seen people rating the kits by Antex & Weller, and saying to avoid eBay/Maplin ones. So for basic guitar wiring it looks like I need about 40/50W to be able to get the wires onto the back of pots, and a chisel tip is best. Here's the problem, I cant find any reasonably priced kits that have chisel tips, they all have pointed or screwdriver tips. Are all tips generally the same spec, will random no brand tips from Amazon or eBay fit into most irons? Can anyone help? Sorry if this is in the wrong category, feel free to move it if it is...

    LOL..wonkier. Is that a real word???

    Thanks guys. I was thinking of getting the deluxe and ripping the wiring out and putting standard jazz wiring back into it, getting rid of the noisy active circuit, making if effectively just a jazz with a wonky body.

    [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1402433182' post='2473540'] Is your desire for different pup spacing based on an aesthetic preference or tonal reasons? Are you satisfied with how it sounds as-is? [/quote] I wanted to try out the 70s position, it turns out after measuring that this one is a few mm further back than the norm. Great for a nice snappy tone, lovely growl, but today I think I prefer the regular location. Not sure about it yet. I may sell it complete, I might change the body out for another....
  13. Clarky72
    Thanks for the nice words I think it a bit further back than regular 70s, it makes a nice growl though Still toying with the idea of regular spacing on a different body. The neck is absolutely amazing!!

    lovely!

    A bit of help/advice... Any had one these at all? I've been looking around at different sites, Fender and otherwise, and there seem to be some inconsistency in the bridge pickup location on these. Some have 60s, some have 70s. Does anyone know which ones have which and/or when they changed from one to the other? Cheers
