I forgot to mention needing to buy more tuners. Two sets... I really like the open back, Hipshot "Griplock" tuners, especially the staggered post sets they make. I decided to use different colors for the main strings and for the octaves; after tuning it today, I'm also thinking about filing some...

I used as many of the pick guard holes as I could, and had to drill 3 in different locations due ti the different shape. But with the 12 string neck mounted on, The old alignment was shown to be off (In terms of having the bridge sit exactly into the shallow cutout of the pick guard, so to get...

Yes. Those holes on a standard tele are 6 straight across, and on the gotoh 12 string bridge they're stepped, rather than straight (sort of like intonation placement of the saddles). Plus, the string to string (as a pair, center to center, is .015 wider on the tele bridge. It starts adding up...

The pickguard needed holes cut for both pickups. Since I had a tele thin line plate I used that as a pattern for the neck hole. I clamped them together and scribed a line (then filled it with dry erase marker) where I needed to dremel out the opening. I then files and sanded it to the scored...

The bridge really became a puzzle. I didn't realize that the pick guard I had, which was from Warmoth, was actually cut to receive a bridge plate exactly that size, so I put the Baritone neck back on, and stated placing it via equal distances from nut to 12th fret and Bridge to 12 th fret—then I...

I'll start with a picture. Up until about 2 months ago, this was a Baritone I had put together in 2020. In late 2021 I began to think how much I'd love a guitar that combined the open and rich sound of my Eastman carve stop (thin line, single-cut jazz box basically) with the Tele Baritone I had...

Our 3d printers had heads that a long ribbon attached to, which moved around like crazy. After about a year (of probably 8hrs per day) I began having weird print failures that I de idea were cable issues. I found (pretty sure it was Mouser) some mil spec silicon ribbon cable, and bought enough...

The Keen method works really well, SMD will be a bit of a challenge, but doable. The pedal is great, worth the effort. Get some liquid flux (the type that comes in a pen is ideal for this) and put that on the circuit board pads before you place the SMT. Put a small dab of solder on your iron...

I can’t help you, but if you’re not familiar with General Tso (Thorpy fat general) it’s a lovely, subtle always on type.

Couldn’t help you with mixing lead free and leaded, although my gut wants to say that shouldn’t make a difference. I always make sure I leave a big blob of solder on the tip whenever it’s sitting around for more than a few minutes, and always before I turn it off. I pretty much avoid lead free...

Watch out Florida!! A new storm heading in

That’s a great looking oat milk latte ya got there!

I did a double take at how India pale ale worked a good solder cleanser, then, (metaphorically) slapped my head. When I’ve run into solder plane issues (getting solder to flow), I’ve been able to help things along a bit with warming up the board. Initially I placed it near the incandescent...

In an odd way though, I remember the first few “small company” (before “boutique” was a thing) (HBE, Red Witch, Dr. Scientist, etc.) pedals that I bought, and thinking there was something nice about the fact that they came in plain cardboard boxes, with obviously laser printed instruction...

What font was it? That seems to be the major variable. (Not speaking from Tayda experience, but as someone that produced output for graphic designers for many years.) @Paradox916 has the correct answer. Even super popular fonts like Helvetica have many variants, both in letters and kerning, so...

The outer ring of contacts are positions, and the inner contacts are the poles. (On a toggle switch, the center contact is the pole, with the outer contacts the positions.) Many rotary switches allow you to limit the rotation of the knob, so the same switch could potentially be anywhere from 2...

That’s great news! After the coming bot revolt, maybe they’ll let this site continue!

It's funny, because of the design I figured it was based on a Boss pedal, and then saw that the NE-7 was the Boss 7 band. And I've been out of the pedal building hobby for a while (just taking a break!) I didn't realize that the post title was the PCB name—Boy, Robert has BEEN BUSY! And. as...

I wasn't familiar with the NE-1, so I just did a bit of research to confirm my guess. Short answer—no, they do different things (although the Mercurial might be able to closely imitate what the NE-1 does. Mercurial is a boost, with a tunable notch filter. You pick a center frequency, and then...
