> used pliers to bend the spring ends that fit in the block so they matched the angle the springs were running to the block at better, and I think that was what cured it for me.

Re this - do you...

Thanks Simon. I kept the trem plat flat and brought the strings into tune. Then I hooked up the springs, kept the trem plate flat and held in the springs while I got my friend to tighten the screws...

Hi! My Floyd Rose bridge is sticking out, but I have basically already tightened the springs on the back as tight as they can go.

For reference, it's a 7 string tuned AEADGBE, with a fairly heavy...

You were exactly right! Wiring was touching the shielding 🤦🏻*♂️

Thanks for your tips mate - you are a legend

Thanks Simon!

Good news first! After more than four years (mostly of procrastinating), I have a guitar!

Bad news, I must've messed something up in the wiring cos ain't no sound...

Hi! I am doing up the Floyd Rose bridge for this 7-string. Are the springs meant to be wonky like this? Have I slotted them into the correct holes on the bridge?

It worked! Brilliant

Sigh... I put the volume knob onto the volume pot (it's not been fixed in yet with the nut and washer) and now I can't get it off. Is there a trick to remove it or do I just need to pull...

Thank you! I'll give that a go. I thought I should check before soldering it up since it's gonna be pretty tight with the wiring (I am a very amateur solder-er and I stuffed up a few times haha)

Hey guys. Here's the three way switch and volume knob for my guitar. They both go through a hole in the body of the guitar to stick out of the front. How are they held in place e.g. should there be a...

Thank you Trevor.

1. makes sense, thanks.
2. also makes sense, thanks - I checked out one of my other electric guitars and I see how that works now
3. okay I see I have not done that correctly...

Hi team! Could I please get a look over this wiring? I've tried to set up a mockup of how everything goes together outside first, according to...

Amazing - thank you McCreed.

OK - thanks for the advice! So maybe something like https://www.bunnings.com.au/cabot-s-250ml-oil-based-satin-cabothane-clear-polyurethane-varnish_p1520455 would be a good optiom (possibly diluted)?

Hi! I abandoned this project for a few years but I have decided to have another crack (good luck, me)

I have a maple neck. The manual says

Rosewood and Ebony are usually left bare and given a...

OMG this is fucking goooooooold :cool:

Thanks! Appreciated

One more question! I went to an auto store to look for a cutting compound and polish. The workers at the shop weren't sure what could be used on a wooden guitar body. What kind of product is...

I guess the cat is just being a gigantic dork as cats sometimes do :PPPPP

Aha, that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying mate :)

Imma back :P (have been very slowly working on the guitar over the last couple of months)

Start wet sanding at about 1000 grit wet and dry paper, then work up to 1200 then 2000. If your local...

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I was just using the crowning file. I think I may have got confused - I didn't realise there was a fret levelling file. I might get myself one of those :)

Thanks for your advice!

Just wondering, is fretboard levelling usually an iterative process? I've gone from fret 24 to fret 1, but I've found that some of my filing has caused other frets not to...

Just did my first fret crowning!

I bought a proper crowning file from the pit bull store to use for this. I understand the shape of the file means that the crowned...
