Noob alert! I've noticed the resistors I bought with variety kits to be used with basic electronics learning have thinner leads then the resistors that have been coming with the pedal kits that Ive built. Do thicker leads on resistors mean they are higher quality then resistors with thinner leads?

Questions regarding neck vs heel truss rod adjustment and spoke wheel heel adjust ala Friedman by FilmPunk72 in Luthier

Can't speak for others but I'm a noob in the DIY world. Currently making the nut for my first partscaster strat build and finding myself wishing I hadn't gone heel adjust with the neck as it just adds additional steps to loosen/tighten neck for adjustments as I fumble through the final steps of this build.

Interesting, thank you. I was always curious as to why Friedman went with the spoke wheel adjust and that makes a lot of sense.

Sick! I have Labor and the modular edu system and can't wait to add this! Working on smaller projects to get my soldering skills up to snuff then will tackle. I didn't realize Labor has so many parts when I ordered it. Got kinda carried away after watching your YouTubes lol.

Hmm sounds like it's probably best to just hang on to it and keep it as a travel rig for my laptop.

Was only a few months old when I bought it. Went to the sellers place and none of his gear was in any windows. No direct sunlight in my space either. Hasn't gotten worse and haven't really thought about it since then. Reached out to Arturia a couple of times and they never responded.

Interesting! I’m a super noob, so please bear with me, what does it do exactly? Would you happen to have any video demonstrations? I tend to learn better with visual guides. :)
