blahblahblah BACK TO THE GOLDTOPS PLEASE

I wouldn't call it glorified. :) But yeah, I have some older USA DGT pickups looking for a home, perhaps a SE DGT would be worthy.

After doing exactly this, I was not able to reuse the clamps, sadly. Maybe if I'd had an infinite amount of time to work on it? But yeah, mine has a wire that droops into the lower F-hole, I hate it but haven't had a chance to fix it.

I wish I could take this photo back in time to 2005 or so, back when SEs were still relatively primitive and didn't get much respect. Minds would be blown!

Once you get past the nerves, recording is super fun. It's hard work, but there's nothing else I get into like recording music. Everything else in life, there's always some part of my brain doing something else. Have a blast and relax!

This! Exactly this for me as well. Especially the part about NOT FOR METAL

Whoa, I was just looking at baritones on Reverb and ran across this:

I finally stumbled across the name - Soloway Guitars.

Yeah, you could do that if you found long enough strings. There was a boutiquey guitar company, I can't remember the name any more and the guy that ran it retired... they made 27" scale standard tuned guitars.

It's also possible to use laser cutting to cut fret slots that don't go all the way across the fretboard, eliminating the need for binding. I believe Kauer guitars does this.

Yeah, it's been really cold here in Phoenix. Some days it doesn't even reach 70 outside. My random - I took the biggest crap the other day. I mean, it would have had to be a yard long/2" wide pipe if laid end to end (that's roughly one meter by 50mm for you global unit types). I briefly...

If it was me I'd call up Lindy Fralin and have a set made that match up nicely in terms of output. He's got hum-canceling P-90s and lots of humbucker options. You might even be able to speak to him directly and tell him what you're after and get a recommendation. They will be a bit more...

Do yourself a favor and get a Mann in black nickel. https://www.johnmannsguitarvault.com/shop/Parts/Guitar-Parts/Guitar-Bridges/MannMade-USA/Guitar-Hardtail-Bridges/p/PRSMann-Hardtail-Bridge---Black-Nickel-x54100028.htm

I like the blue with the natural back. Plus, the natural back makes a refin to goldtop that much easier.

I'd also love to know if there's a difference.
