Unfortunately, I have a real job that involves WAY TOO MUCH travel, so your best way to get in touch is via e-mail. I'm in Boston now till Friday, and I'll be...
For those interested in following the design and construction of classical/flamenco guitars, please visit my website. I recently commissioned Larry Breslin...
Dear members Recently I received two Prudencio Saez's Guitars. They are black but the painting looks fade (like water between the enamel and the lacquer). The...
Hey all, I'm new to the group, and I've been working on a solid-body electric I need some advice with. I've done a ton of research, and I've got some...
Question #1: I think you would use the shorter one for the neck pickup and the taller for the bridge, but I've always used the short for both, doesn't seem to...

... One thing to remember on the stopbar vs. string-through: if you look at a lot of stop bar guitars, the neck is angled compared to the plane of the body....
Thanks for all the replies ... they really help! Question on the bridges. I've only found the one standard non-tremolo bridge from Stewmac that actually said...
I don't know about the first question, I guess you'd have to look at the bridge just to make sure. On the pickup question for a baritone neck guitar, exact ...

Hi, I haven't been in the group a long time. Still a bit of a rookie in certain ways. I had a question. Being a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan I tried to emulate...
there's a thing at www.stewmac.com that you can install in inside your guitar ( acoustic ) that keeps your bridge from "rolling" forward under stress. I think...
Hey Doug, No what he's referring to only works on acoustics. Best thing I could say is to check the number of springs holding the tremolo bridge. If I recall...
Also, I wouldn't say strings are the biggest component to SRV's tone. It was mostly his overwound pickups (now dubbed Texas Special's by Fender), his effects...
Thanks for the advice Doug A. Do you know what the price of what Tremolo Claw Springs would be? Anywhere to get a deal? I ask this to because sometime certain...
I laugh at the prices I've seen these go for on eBay! You can get them for about $1.50 at Steweart MacDonald: www.stewmac.com MikeH http://www.guitarowner.com...
I was thinking, I know I have seen Tremolo Claw Springs before but where? then it hit me. In hardware stores I have seen similar springs. For doors and other...
