Yes it's the 110w set. I ordered them and a new bone nut. That might solve the problem. My Tele build doesn't have that problem but I don't know what make the strings are. It's getting ignored now....

S.O.S. My "Ric" plays beautifully. Low action, great intonation. Got a problem with G string. It sounds like a soprano in a Male voice choir. It's a plain 16 thou string. I'm searching for a wire...
I agree Simon they do have a good range. I was just over 100 quid for postage and customs. My white Tele cost less than that.
You will probably get about the same as I did. It delays your delivery so track it and soon as Netherlands post has it phone and pay over the phone. Saves about 5 days.
Are you in the UK? It isn't customs as such but HMRC hold the item pending customs(VAT). Parcel force pay the duty and charge you £13 for the privilege. That came to £49. Don't know about other...
Don't think it merits a mention in GOTM. It has one or two wee blemishes (like Miss World with a plook on her bum).
I have quite enjoyed the forum. Can you only join in if you are doing a PitBull?...
Thought we got beat. Oh me of little faith. Woo, great day. The pickups are not the strongest but I have a recipe somewhere for a series/parallel setup a la Santana. Did it on an old Les Paul about...
Well, I did it. I think she's beautiful (but I'm biased). The action was almost spot on without any adjustment. That Ric style bridge is a pig. Overall, I'm pretty damn chuffed.

Thanks. The old glory flag looks ok but not perfect. Watched a Queen documentary last night and Brian had a Ric with a full pickguard. So that's what I'm going to do. I ordered a blank sheet of 3 ply...
Had a bad week with the beast. Getting over it now. I put an old glory flag over the hole. It'll do until I get a new scratch plate. I'm going to make it full face like the strat. It looks good in...
This is turning into a nightmare. The hole I made in the top won't take a decent stain on the filler. The new bridge has a chrome plate 86 x 20 mm which will cover most of the damage. (I could have...
Hi Robert. Welcome to the mad house. There'll be triumphs and heartbreak but it is well worth it.:o
Hi everyone. I didn't realise the welcome thread was a continuous thing. My RC1 was coming along nicely until last night. A bit of the laminate got broken at the bridge stubs. I've ordered a Ric copy...
Hi Wokkaboy. Yeah made me ill. However, keep trying.
My Great uncle 4 times removed is buried out your way. Ellendale Station, East Of Gerald ton, WA, . He was transported in 1844. Daniel Baughan. ...
Disaster! One of the bridge studs wouldn't go in properly. Pulled it back out and took away a lump of laminate. I filled and stained it but it sticks out like a sore thumb.
I have ordered a Ric...
Thank you.:o
My Scottish accent isn't much better. People think I'm posh. Couldn't be further from the truth.:cool:
That Welsh name would be good for fret markers. I've just discovered how to reply to individual posts.
Thanks guys. It has been worth it. Plus she who must be obeyed says I can have another one if this one turns out ok. It's the first time I ever tried staining, I was a spray paint man before this....
Phew! Nearly there. Just got the neck to set in and it's done. Been a lot of work, due in part to rough finish of body when I got it. Plus there were no pickup ring screws in pack. God bless Amazon....
Got permission to use the kitchen for spraying. All windows wide open and extractor going full blast. Done 2 thin coats and a rub down in between. Starting to get to where I want to be.

Yeah, I'm just about ready to finish off the neck/head. Still waiting for my sheet of mother of pearl for TRC but have the plastic one as a guide. Just setting off for titebondnow. In the pouring...
Right, got your point there. Will get the Titebond today. (anybody want some gorilla glue?) I fitted the machines on the head today and my washers are well clear of the TRC. Don't like the washers,...
Back to work. Got some 400 grit sheets for my detail sander so going to hit that tail and get it smooth. What's the best? put neck on before final finish or after? I'll be using Gorilla wood glue....
Hi Simon. I was looking at your diary. Lovely burst by the way. I noticed that you scrape the edge binding. Doh! I've been masking them. Like you, I'm weather limited for now. Give me more time to...
