    New strat for me

    An ash bodied maple fretboard strat was one of my first guitars, I played everywhere with that thing. Brings back memories. How are you getting on with the 7.25" radius? Even my 9.5" Fender is difficult to place in some spots at the higher frets. I want to have the frets resurfaced but $$$ when...

    Lead free solder?

    700F is the melting point for lead free but you have to run the iron hotter because when you apply heat to the joint the heat will try to reach a state of equilibrium with the temp of the components and it will fall below the melting point of the solder, so you need to crank your iron a bit...

    Why does nobody use these outtie DC jacks?

    The exposed threads are ugly and most of my builds need the small lumberg jack anyway. Desoldering isn't hard and why have two of something when one do job?

    What 3 pedals have you either bought or built but sold multiple times?

    I had a Boss RT-20 back in the day, and a few years ago bought another to relive my glory days. I sold it when I got deeper into the Rotary rabbit hole I've bought an MXR Il Diavolo twice and sold it both times, and then built one and sold it too. They sound good for about two months and then I...

    I've messed around with strats for years and I've learned that making it intuitive is the best course of action because in a live situation good luck remembering anything. Despite that my current strat is an HSH with a regular 5 way and a push/push pot (got them on amazon) that allows 2 set...

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    The bass drum for my nesting drum set is done (except for the finish) I'm waiting on parts for the floor tom. I want to make sure they fit together with no issues before I order the wrap. But it's looking good!

    Real world lever toggle switch durability

    I don't use the sub mini switches, but I've used the standard dailywell mini switches ones from Tayda. I like them, they work fine. I've had more issues with the 3pdt footswitches. I use the short bat with a dress nut and place them very low with no threads showing. Because of this, I feel ok...

    Tweed thing idk

    Here's an update on my drum kit project I'm waiting for some parts to arrive in the mail and then the floor tom will receive the same treatment. I'm somewhat on the fence on the finish. I want to spray it with my HVLP but I really don't want to learn the intricacies of a new line of paints...

    I never thought of this… lead exposure…

    I wash my hands after soldering and my setup is down in the basement away from everything else. I try not to breathe it in. No amount of lead is safe, especially for developing children

    Handpainted enclosure inspiration

    I would do this stuff in a second if I was any good at drawing. But that shit ain't happening I have Posca acrylic markers for labels. You can use a water based clear coat over them. I use a water based polyurethane but you could use an acrylic lacquer as well. You want to hit the pedal with a...

    Fender, the orange guy of guitarbrands?

    That movie is nuts. The first time I saw it was on a friend's old projection TV where the bulb was out of focus and the screen image was blurry, esp around the edges. It made the whole movie even more out there, esp the scenes with the old woman

    Tweed thing idk

    I've been trying to put this together for like six months I've tried 4 times to get the colors right for this. It is hard. I'm going for a yellow and brown tweed inspired thing but these two colors hate each other. The brown always comes out too dark or too light and the yellow is usually too...
