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...
Doug, You can try looking around in hardware stores and also check spring companies on the internet, but the standard tremelo springs you can buy from guitar...
Naptha also dissolves the glue w/o harming the finish(Theoretically)go slow. As far as prices go, for the same one that Fernandez sells for $15 you can get...
I have an old Ovation Matrix guitar that I like to take "anywhere". I stuck some electronics in it also. It seems to not hold its tune as well as it used too,...
I have a "fairly new" Ovation (90's) and would like to replace the preamp to one of the newer ones. Ovation is very useless for support. they would just...
You may be better off building your own. That way, you can customize for your specific needs. I am a member of the GuitarsAmpsEffects Yahoo group and they ...
Try a set of Gotoh tuners. StewMac.com has 'em for a good price. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new...
Is the guitar playing out of tune or are the tuning machines just slipping? If it's the tuning machines not holding a pitch, any good replacement machine will ...

Hi fellow Guitar-Heads!, I have read about the Earvana nut and also found a site somewhere that had an article on compensating the nut with shims. For those...
I been compensating nuts on my new guitars. Just shortening the first fret makes a big difference in itself, (moving the nut toward the first fret) You can...
Vince, What do you mean when you say ... "taking a shorter "straight" cut across the fingerboard" ...Do you actually notch out a new slot for the nut? The...
What I meant from the "straight" across cut, was that it's better than the original nut placement, but probably not as good as doing "each" string. I was...
I have used the e-Nut on a couple of electrics, both metal and bone and it works great. If you need to compensate at the nut (open strings go sharp) this is...
Hi, Iam just starting out on building electirc guitars. I need to know what kind of truss rod to use for a less paul. 2-peice or 1-peice neck. Also i want to...
