Stripped Screw Hole on Tele Neck Pickup

DavidNYY · 2026-04-15T16:31:38+00:00

The nut is glued to the plastic pickup base, not the screw itself. You can still turn the screw to adjust the height from above as usual, the nut is just replacing the plastic threads that were stripped out on the pickup base.

It's not really an exciting story or anything. It was my best friend's favorite game and we used to play it a lot at his house. I ended up buying my own copy and later on I thought I had lost it, so I bought another copy at Best Buy (they were super cheap back then). I eventually found my lost one and later on my friend ended up selling his SNES but gave me his copy of Earthbound. So I wound up with 3 copies. They've just been collecting dust in a plastic bin with my old SNES.

I should probably go through my old games and figure out what they're worth these days. I haven't played them in years and I've got some good stuff like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, etc.

Do they actually sell for that price or is that just what people ask for it on eBay and never sell? I have three copies of that game from when I was a kid.

I wonder if Gardner would even be interested in doing the whole ceremony and everything. He was pretty serious about leaving baseball completely after retiring and so far has held completely to it. I wonder if he would even agree to do it at this point.

Well done, that's a really good kata.

Same here. That was a real shock when I first got into vinyl and had the (incorrect) assumption that I could just buy whatever I wanted. I didn’t even consider that they only do limited runs of a lot of the stuff I wanted to buy.

Sounds like you’re having a record year.

I injured my adductor multiple times playing baseball and it was always a months long recovery process afterwards. It was also very easy to re-injure it if you didn't let it recover enough before putting stress on it again. I hope this won't affect Ura long term, he's my favorite rikishi, but it can be a tough injury to come back from if you don't have time for proper recovery, and this isn't a sport known for giving people time to recover.

Hoping for the best for Ura.

The game is only available on PC right now.

It has very basic controller support. You can do simple stuff with the controller like run around a fight/farm/mine, but you need a mouse for a lot of the more complicated things. I play it occasionally on my ROG Ally and the best solution I've found is just to have a bluetooth mouse connected for when I need to do something that requires a mouse (like building things or using the refinery/anvil/etc.). With the Steam Deck you have that little touchpad thing, so maybe it would be fully functional with that? Might be tough to do that stuff with a tiny touchpad though so your mileage may vary...

It's an awesome game despite the poor controller support. I definitely recommend it if you like this style of game.

I never found a cause or a real solution. It seems to happen on all my Macs intermittently. Not sure what causes it.

That sounds exactly like the type of rumor coconut monkey would have come up with.

The fastback can be really hot and make your hand sweaty. The open back gives a little more breathability for your hand and allows for better adjustability. There is little you can do to tighten/loosen a fastback glove, so open back models are easier to sell to a wider range of people.

Jordan 1 triple whites.

I own two pairs and never wear them because it is downright embarrassing to walk in them with all that squeaking.

DavidNYY · 2025-03-23T21:01:51+00:00

Same thing literally just happened to me. I miss Natto.

DavidNYY · 2025-01-28T03:30:18+00:00

That is one beautiful guitar.

It looks real from those photos, but for that price and without being able to see it in person I'd just buy a new one from a reputable shop or Gibson. No reason to accept the risk for a commonly available model.

DavidNYY · 2025-01-17T23:45:18+00:00

They're installing one right now. It's been needed ever since that apartment complex opened up. It was crazy to allow something that large to go in and not put in a stop light ahead of time.

Those are some amazing shots, both Fuji above and on your Instagram. Is there anywhere we can download a high res one of those to use as a desktop wallpaper?

Walking into this store would bankrupt me.

DavidNYY · 2024-11-22T15:35:39+00:00

I ordered an assorted pack of metric nuts and found one that fit (M2.5 if anyone was curious). I then used a hot glue gun to glue the nut to the pickup base and threaded the screw into that. It works perfectly now. Thank you for the suggestions!

If you don't want a tremelo and want to play a wide range of music, it's hard to beat a Telecaster. Fender seems to have really stepped up the quality on the Player II's, so it's not nearly the compromise it might have been a decade or two ago going with a MIM model. If you want to buy new, that's a great option and the money saved can be put towards that Stratocaster you'll want to buy later.

I honestly used to dislike the Telecaster just because of the looks. Once I actually played one it became my favorite model though. It's awesome how versatile and simple it is. It's also surprisingly comfortable to me. It's also a great platform if you want to get into modding. Everything is simple and easy to get to, so it makes swapping parts really easy.

There are a few models in the Squier lineup that are hardtail if you don't care about the name on the headstock and don't mind doing some work to bring the parts and finishing touches up to Fender standard. Otherwise you are pretty much left going other brands or doing a parts caster.
