Any Musicians Here ? Fellow guitar junkies ?

Beautiful. I always replace the ceramic disc with a quality oil/paper capacitor on the tone control just like you do

It depends on the guitar for me, I let my ears decide.

I'll also play with the capacitor values to change what frequencies the tone control rolls off . Also guitar specific.

Yep, sometimes on telecasters I have run as big as a .1 orange drop.

I used to play A LOT. Got rid of all my electric stuff and now I just grab an acoustic when the mood hits me. Mainly a relaxation thing now days. My oldest son is playing now and he's got more natural talent in his pinky than I do in my whole body. Pretty neat to see and hear

 

[Greenthorn]

These look like some awesome guitars, @Brush Ape , and @Magic_Man don't know if you've seen these?

My Daughter is showing a lot of interest in my guitars, my Son is showing some. We'll see. I have no doubt that I'll be buying her a junior sized acoustic starter soon. I figure if you can play acoustic, you can play an electric as well. The other way around isn't often the case.

Not a musician and I don't own a guitar [yet], but I do consider myself somewhat of a junkie. I love bass guitar. Huge fan of a well crafted ax. Les Claypool is my favorite artist, ever gave him a listen?

And right now I can't stop listening to Remco:

Give his channel a try.

Colonel Claypools Bucket of Bernies brains is so awesum.

He's a hardcore steelheader too.
Just like me...

I'll agree for 1000 please Alex.

And some of you guys really tinker... here is my last wiring job on my son's amp. This old amp has had some good times!


Inputs busted...


Remove solder, replace switch.

Rock on my son!

 

[Poleman]

How do you like the Tak F340?? The "Law suits" are great guitars!!

 

[Locust Cutter]

The Tak and Les Paul would be nice. I'd still like to have a nice Telly, a good 12 string, a Breedlove jumbo and a Martin D-28...

I must like it I've had it for over 20 years.[emoji3] It was my first guitar I originally used light strings while I was learning but I went to mediums later and it really sounds good.

I generally use medium Martins on my Ovation half body elec/accoustic and Either Martin or D'Addario heavies on my Alvarez acoustic. The medium and light definitely reward a light and deliberate touch, but the heavies ring out amazingly on my Alvarez. It almost has a Martin sound with a more Gretsch or Taylor style action. For a relatively inexpensive guitar it has impressive intonation.

 

[chainsawjoe]

Here is my carvin. It's my favorite.

Haven't contributed for a while, here is another recent fretless bass conversion I did. Customer wanted no lines, so filling with epoxy or plastic binding was out. I found some rosewood similar color to the fretboard and cut some thin strips. Thickness sanded them down to a useable thickness. Milled out the old fret slots to clean them up and glued in the strips with horse hide glue. I guess word has got out around town that I do these conversions. I have another coming next week.

 

[Locust Cutter]

That looks amazing!!!

Thank You Sir, I truly enjoy doing this type of work.

 

[Locust Cutter]

I have a friend in KC who's a bassist in a metal band who might like your services...
