  1. Another option (mounted from the back): Much greater holding power than wood screws.
  2. It's a cryin' shame. ETA: 'Cryin' Shame' is one of very few country tunes I genuinely enjoy. Had I not done a stint in a country band, I likely would never have heard of it or the Mavericks. R.I.P., Mr. Malo.
  3. That's the Vanguard. Similar, with P90s.
  4. I'm really tempted to get another..... They have a wood-grain one now.
  5. Somebody do this NOW! An absolute steal.
  6. He should pull a tailpiece anchor and attach the wire to it, but a stud will work. I don't have one either but had a similar issue with my LP. I wrapped the wire around the stud...
  7. That. Is so helpful!
  8. It's one better.
  9. Sorry. I meant to say 2 tones, using the concentric pot.
  10. Love that! 2 volumes/1 tone, but put the bridge volume in the nearest hole and a concentric tone in the farthest. That damn switch hole is in the wrong place!
  11. That's where it's headed. Although, because it's clean, rare and everything else is original, duplicating what the factory did has its appeal.
  12. Yep - it all works. I'm just not thrilled yet with how it all works. I would love to know how the factory did it.
  13. This is why he's the KIng: About 12:30 in just completely blew me away.
  14. My one and only V: Long gone.
  15. Good tune! Sounds like fun. And you can always lean on the other guitar player to show you any of the trickier bits.
  16. ...or an earworm. They're much less bitey.
  17. Yep - a black Sunburst played by Matt 'Guitar' Murphy.
  18. I think only BB King can play fewer notes and be as distinctive. Alotta funk for a white boy. And alotta respect. R.I.P., Mr. Cropper.
  19. A lot of pickup sites have a wiring diagram page. I found those to be helpful when doing standard-ish wiring. YouTube is another good place to search for better soldering techniques (than what I have). ETA: If you don't want to add a hole, you could keep 2 volumes separate and get 2 tones with a concentric pot.
  20. First: know what key your damn singer is changing it to. Then: Practicepracticepractice. Reps ingrain the tune while building gig strength/stamina into your hands. It's a lot easier if you're playing it straight off the record - doing the same arrangement and the same key. If not, Audacity can change keys without changing the tempo (although going too far will sound a little weird). But then when your drummer needs to change the arrangement for no reason at all, a recorder of some sort will be a big help. Not only to re-learn the arrangement, but also to keep track of your progress. Then: Practicepracticepractice. And.....what are these 'charts' of which you speak??
  21. Currently $209.91 for this one: https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/ffse/products/new-firefly-fftl-classic-model-electric-guitar-yellow-color
