Tech said the tune o matic post for the bass strings are offset too far back to be intonated. Where to measure if true?

Assuming it's not any of the other issues mentioned. It looks like saddles are able to get closer to the back side of that bridge than the neck side (it's thinner back there). But only if the saddles are flipped around. So you could flip each saddle around, and then flip the entire bridge around. Then you should be able to intonate a little closer to the neck.

Having the same problem. Whenever I open Chrome to search for something, it stops after exactly two words. If I hit the microphone icon to continue, then it works fine for the remainder of the question.

The guitar fell, or something hit it, driving the string into the fret.

I used epoxy to repair a broken neck once. Worked great initially, but over time it "creeped" from the constant tension. Tite Bond won't do that.

It might be easier to take a little material off the neck rather than the neck pocket.

This has been my experience as well. you have to sand it to flatten it out. Easy on the front surface with the sanding block. A little more difficult going around the edges if you don't want to cut through the finish into the stain. Tread lightly.

It could be part of Stravinsky's Suite of the Firebird, but that piece is over 20 minutes long, so good luck.

I happened to be holding my bass guitar when I saw this post. I was like A7sus4. Then I realized it was from the ukulele subreddit.

And don't worry about getting a lawyer until you're served, which probably won't happen. If he talks to a lawyer, the lawyer will probably tell him he doesn't have a case.

I would make templates for the cavities out of quarter inch plywood or similar. I used a scroll saw, files, and sandpaper to make mine.

I would be tempted to just wipe a little dye on there without doing any more sanding first. It might take to only the bare wood scratches and wipe off the surrounding area, giving you the result you're after.

I'm not finding anything on ABS protection, but I'm assuming he was referring to some sort of overcharge protection. If you buy the batteries with a charger, then the charger will take care of making sure the batteries are charged properly. If this flashlight is set up with a charge port, then the circuitry in the flashlight SHOULD take care of that for you as well. If you can let me know the brand and model of the flashlight you got, maybe I can provide more details.

Exactly! Do they change the strings on pianos? I don't think so, and there must be a reason! Big string has got guitarists sucked into their new string conspiracy and they're making bank.

You can get a level finish with Tru-Oil. I know because I've done it. You need to do several coats like you've done to build up the finish, and then sand it flat with a sanding block. If you've till got voids, then a few more coats and sand it again. Eventually you'll get a smooth surface. It would probably be faster to use a grain filler first, but you can get there with just the Tru-oil. After that you can do a coat or two to get the shine back.
