NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

It’s easier to dress - stays put yep this. Super easy to do a clean layout with it. If you over-stress it as mentioned though it develops brittle joints and eventually breaks. When you remove the main turret board a couple times to investigate issues all of a sudden you've just created a new one by...

Here's a tip: The wire on computer power supplies is rated 500 volts and is high temp. yep old coffee machines I've pulled apart have really cool high temp/volt cloth covered wire. Dismantled one for parts/recycling and got a few metres of awesome cable which I'm saving for my next eventual amp build

never doing solid core again after the issues with my DR103 clone. Gets brittle and breaks/cracks at the bends eventually and causes crackling

that seems... high. I saw one for a refret on a finished neck for like $350AUD which seems more reasonable

yep, not too bad apparently, should fix up and be good as new

Stupid ultimate support stand has a locking mechanism that's supposed to stop the legs from folding (can't use a ...

in a tube amp, a combination of the power tubes used, how they are used, and the transformers used to both power them AND pair them with speakers. A properly designed dual pentode amp can put out close to 100W (not clean of course), and it goes the other way too, but typically 2x EL84 = ~15W 4 x EL8...

I use a dehumidifier, and I find I play the guitars more if I have them out, and not locked away in cases. yeah I'm the same. I feel bad about how little I play some of them, so I leave most of them out on stands. I also get super guilty about not playing my White Falcon enough, so it's on a stand ...

heard someone bragging the other day about how they knew someone with a '69 Les Paul and was about to be like "THEY DIDNT MAKE LPs in the 60s!!!"
When I remembered that they did in fact resurrect customs in '68/69.

Still don't believe the person though

Greco RG-85 or RG-100, not sure. Complete with trapeze tailpiece and Creamery Toaster Pickups. Took a bit of messing around with the pickup mounts and still not 100% happy (had to insert a hardwood plug for pickup screw and inserted neck pickup screw on an angle to "catch the the wood"). ...

I hear you, the trems on Doozys are the best part. Bet it's amazing though. You know a guitars good when it goes against what you think you want but still seems to call out to you

Surely you can swap the covers off the old ones? New project coming soon (it’ll last 10 minutes), various guitar parts, no car parts :( BUT my new guitar is ... I’m going to go and collect it this week. Oh fuck yes. firebird pickups are like literally held together by the covers apparently and it's...

Some new D'Urbano pickups for my Firebird VII. Always struggled with it being a little dark sounding, these are made by a guy here in Melbourne and are apparently based off '63 FB pups but a tad hotter. Demos sound incredible. https://mrfabulous.com.au/FIREBIRD%20GUITAR%20PICKUP Dunno if I'll like t...

Noice! Is that the one that Matt from the forums here bought off me/my shop?
