ok Doc, so if PBG supplied the pups did they replace the faulty one ?

Nah, I just ordered the new set of pickups since I was going to do it anyway, the AS57 pickups hummed too much for my liking, these new ASN57's are Noiseless, that is, they don't hum and should be much quieter.
Hey Doc do you use those lil baby 9's? if so i will send you the set i have for free, i will never use them. I just swapped 10 sets of 9's for a few beers, too slinky for me..
Yep, I tend to use 42-09 gauge strings on 25 inch, or 25.5 inch scale guitars, and 46-10 gauge strings on 24.75 inch scale guitars, I got to the point where I'm fairly comfortable with both gauges, I seem to remember Fender using heavier gauge strings on their 25.5 inch scale instruments, like the Stratocaster, that's probably why you see a lot of vintage Strats with 5 trem springs.
I block my trems, hate the things and use 10's, 13's on my slide guitars but anything smaller than 10's? i just dont like them, i should really use 11's for a standard string set seeing as i am a rhythm player who sometimes lashes out into the i am invincible lead role

Some people like trems, some don't, I'm going to set up the trem on my Strat so that it floats since I want to be able to get that "Surf Shimmer" sound where you play a barre chord and then use the trem to slowly lower the pitch of the chord and then bring it back to pitch, works great on a clean sound with lots of reverb.
Hey Doc page 67.... nudge nudge wink wink say no more
That means another 33 pages to go till I get to 100, boy is this diary going to be epic....lol.
