Yes Peter, it is the end grain of the neck that I am worried about.

Thank you all for responding to my post!

I am moving over to laminated necks for my electrics. I am fine using a PVA or A resin for my electrics but since i dovetail my acoustics I am worried about if a reset is in its future about PVA or Alphatic resin separating. Is there a glue that will not gas off years later and ruin my finish ? Than...

Does anyone have gun / spraying recommendations for Enduro Var? Also I am having problems with certain sterated paper so watch out!

Thanks Mark!

I ran across a spool of 24 AWG stranded black and white twisted wire at the dump! Is this too thin to use as my pickup leads? Are there effects/problems of the different gauges of hookup wire? thanks!

I am pretty happy with Enduro Var but need new guns. Does anybody have an opinion on what has or has not worked well for them either with EV or different guns and tips?

Does anyone have the measurements or specs on the bobbins that were used in the original Fender Wide Range Humbuckers?
Thanks!

I am using General Finishes Enduro Var and learned it does not work well with water based pigments. Someone at GF said that the Clear Poly would play well with pigments. Anybody have any advise? What are you recommendations for Pigment brands that work well with water based finishes? Looking specifi...

Does anyone know where I can find plastic strat pickup bobbins? I want to use some threaded polepieces.

Thanks!

I am looking for the ball joint version with the long arm and swiveling jaws.

Does anyone know where I can get one of the multi position vises that Stew Man used to sell under the "Ultimate Vise"? ANy clue as to the manufacturer?

Thanks!

Any recommendations on brand and size of lead free solder? Will lead and lead free mix IF I am doing repairs? Any problems with lead free solder? Horror stories, thing to do or avoid? THA

I think I found it. a diode or transistor on the PCB was fried and fell off when I touched it. Contacted MM to see if I can get a replacement.

Thanks for looking and responding!

I got a MM Sub4 , standard single HB and active electronics 4 string, that has a weird output issue. It only has out put when the string is struck hard and then only briefly and distorted. Battery is good and the pickup reads 6.35K. Solder joints and connections look good. Any suggestions?

I am going back to reverse kerfing due to the side stiffening benefits but I was never happy with gluing it on. I don't like the faceted appearance in the inside and outside of curves and the occasional breakage.

Any tips people have on gluing these in would be helpful.

Thanks

Why do humbucker base plates have legs? Not an April Fools joke. Seems like a waste of metal and stampling.

Thanks David! Will it take my older weller tips? Tangent: I miss Portland.

I have been using a non-adjustable Weller for years and want to upgrade to something variable and really nice. Any suggestions?

Good customer wants a solid body acoustic styled electric (think Godin or Chet Atkins SST) and I am thinking about the pickup. It will have a traditional bridge with a bone saddle. I have installed hundreds of under the saddle pickups on regular acoustics. The challenge is to put a volume and tone p...

I am in southern Maryland and use enduro-var. It drop fills pretty well. give it time to shrink back and you can get a good repair after buffing.
