Re: Towner downward tension bars

Thought I'd bung one of these on my Heritage H530 ( Casino ). Shipping being insanely expensive on small items I bought two. Joke's on me though as the Heritage has a somewhat unique bridge system which the bar is incompatible with. Soooo if anyone has a Bigsby they'd like to hold the strings down ...

Re: Les Paul and Tele tuning stability tips?

Regarding your Tele. I have found string retainers on the headstock can impact tuning. Particularly the vintage round brass variety which may not be applicable to you. However replacing with a graphtec version sorts the issue nicely. 3 barrel bridges are fine but for better intonation, slanted barre...

Re: Effect of changing room temperature on guitars - at home?

Earthquake paranoia has led me to keep mine in cases with one out to be played ( rotated ). I have noticed with wraptails however that at certain times the sitaring effect becomes more prominent which would indicate a certain amount of wood movement. Havn't been attentive enough to be able to accura...

Re: Which electrical contact cleaner for amp pots?

Deoxit do a version called I think fader cleaner. Intended for mixing desk faders etc. I have been informed that other cleaners leave a residue. The fader cleaner doesn't. It is of course ridiculously expensive, as is the postage from the US.. These are based in New Zealand and carry the Deoxit ran...
