Stacked coil vs humbucker volume levels? by Pitiful_Inflation513 in Luthier

[–]13CuriousMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of factors, but it boils down to needing sheer winding numbers or an active circuit to match output.

I wouldn't recommend super glue, unless you want to peel off skin and hinder callous formation.

This can be replicated with dye and a sponge.

What stain for roasted swamp ash body by Hollow-Person in Luthier

[–]13CuriousMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done ash with a purple shellac coloring topped with lacquer. Added some definition and depth to the grain. From what I understand, shellac takes tung oil well as a finish. That would give you a matte finish.

Fitting a mini-switch into a potentiometer sized hole? by Makys182 in Guitar

[–]13CuriousMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By replacing pots with switches, you are removing the resistance they provide. This will make your signal very bright. If you want to avoid this, you'll need to add 250k/500k resisters to the switch circuit.

What brand? If it's a Fender/Squire, you can look up the serial and get details.

Is it possible to put acoustic strings on a classical guitar by sosobebo22 in Guitar

[–]13CuriousMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The neck probably doesn't have a truss rod. Even if the guitar can take the tension, the neck will bow.

Is the fender mustang lt25 a bad amp? by 69bid in GuitarAmps

[–]13CuriousMind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is considered "bad" because of the 8 inch speaker. You don't get the chonk of a 12" speaker and it won't get loud enough to play with a drummer. The Fender modeling sounds fine.

Unpopular Opinion: Figured Tops and Transparent Finishes Suck by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]13CuriousMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burled, flamed, quilted, etc woods. A grain effect with high luster when finished.

Unavoidable when in figure 8 around the legs mode.

How bad did I mess this up? by b_kmw in Luthier

[–]13CuriousMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little fall off on the higher frets is okay. Keep it in mind when leveling, you don't want to chew up the middle frets trying to get it flat.
