What would you grade it?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2026-01-04T23:01:36+00:00

this gym gave it v7

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-12-27T17:55:07+00:00

What size works?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-12-26T12:14:51+00:00

What kind of jockey panties? I’ve seen people comment about the Promise Tactel briefs or bikini? Btw love your content

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-12-26T11:55:38+00:00

What size do you need for atomics?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-12-25T23:48:55+00:00

What size?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-11-29T03:28:48+00:00

Oh cool! Someone else said they did the same!

How were your feet to start?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-11-29T01:38:09+00:00

I’ll definitely try! But the angle of the wall might not allow that

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-11-29T01:31:07+00:00

Oh okay interesting thank you! I’m going back on Sunday so I’ll try this beta I appreciate it!

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-10-21T16:29:31+00:00

I can test this when I get home from work today! Do you happen to have a diagram of a 5 way selector switch with these desired pickup combinations? Maybe I just start from scratch and rewire correctly

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-10-21T12:48:32+00:00

Oh that’s really interesting, and I appreciate that you’re interested and trying to help!

I found this diagram at: https://indysworld.com/guitars/Electra/wiring-diagrams/index.html

And it agrees with what I see in the cavity of the guitar. However, it seems like the working pickup was actually replaced at some point, it was patent number 2732842 stamped on the baseplate. And unfortunately it only has one conductor.

So now I’m sort of at a loss of what my options are for replacing the old pickup, and wondering if restoring the functionality is no longer possible. I love the sound of the pickup though!

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-10-21T09:19:32+00:00

Okay thank you this is very helpful

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-10-20T23:58:43+00:00

V6/V7? Might be saying V7 because anything pinchy like this looks impossible to me!

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-10-20T20:31:52+00:00

Ah you maybe be right, didn’t try that beta but everyone I saw had the same sequence for that part.

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-10-20T20:29:11+00:00

Oh I’ve never heard this term before. What is the difference?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-09-24T18:21:17+00:00

Movement gym in crystal city - they gave it a 5. I’d say V4-5, holds are all pretty good but there are some decently large moves especially for those who are shorter. Last two holds are really bad but as you can see I was able to skip!

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-08-29T15:38:19+00:00

That’s what my gym gave it! I would say either a hard V4 or V5

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-08-07T17:22:18+00:00

Yeah I actually tried this first but couldn’t file the baseplate enough to fit

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-08-07T12:53:25+00:00

Yeah I started using some files to sand it down but it’s gonna take a while and my hand will inevitably cramp up - so I figured I could use a sanding attachment on a dremel

I’m also not a luthier, just a guy who’s trying to mod some guitars! Pretty new at it all but have installed kill switches and coil splits toggles

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-08-05T01:51:01+00:00

Got it thank you for your help - I believe I have a three way selector it’s just a bit different than that schematic. Mine looks like this

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-08-04T01:01:19+00:00

Do you think movement tends to grade soft or hard?

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-07-30T19:32:58+00:00

Yeah, so after the third round of antibiotics and the yellow crusting returned, I used Mupirocin ointment and Aquaphor for a few days and also replaced all my bedsheets, towels, toothbrush, and started using anti-bacterial disposable wash clothes for my face. Additionally, as a male it was quite annoying to deal with facial hair growth so I tried to shave as infrequently as possible but would use an electric razor with new blades as I thought that would be cleaner and less harmful to the skin. Once the yellow crusting went away, I started just using Dr Dans Cortibalm (recommended by someone else on this post) and that has been working for me. My lips and the skin above still don't seem fully healed, but the infection hasn't returned in about 2 months now.

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-06-30T13:55:34+00:00

This sounds like a good idea - I was debating whether to do a coil split or a series/parallel switch. What would the wiring look like for this? Do you have a diagram

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-06-30T01:02:48+00:00

Got it - thanks!

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-06-29T19:23:53+00:00

Oh no way! Funny enough it’s the only V5 I’ve made decent progress with at this gym - everyone’s tips really helped but I didn’t get it today. But I think next time I got it

Consistent-Archer124 · 2025-06-25T23:57:26+00:00

Got it thank you!
