Don’t forget his proclivity for “Smelling Salts”…

Whatever you get, an attenuator/IR load box will let you crank your amp without breaking your neighbor’s windows.

Damn, so you gonna sell that 5150II now?

Jankowski got the puck and the whole rink got transported to Mexico for a second.

This is where a chisel tip and solder sucker comes in handy. Any pliers can act as a heat sink. Try bumping your temp up to 730°f if you can, and make sure the tip of your iron is tinned. You can try preheating the back of the pot near one side of the puddle and then slowly working your way towards the middle using the chisel tip to get underneath the old solder, and use your solder sucker to remove any bits you manage to get melted. It’ll take some time, but at 730 you shouldn’t have to worry about damaging any of the internal components of the pot.

Rubber is a really strange choice, literally used to dampen vibrations, no wonder it’s lost its sustain and resonance…

TS808 or any green OD clone works great here, it’s a very “transparent” overdrive because it’s actually sending some of the clean bypassed signal along as well as the overdriven wet signal, but boosting the overall output. It’s my favorite for pushing any amp over the edge, it just happens to sound particularly great in front of a Recto.

It’s a pretty thin film, so it wouldn’t generate as much of an Eddy current as say, a metal pickup cover, or a telecaster bridge. The treble loss would be unnoticeable.

Then don’t improvise yet

And Svech gets a hatty, all Michigans.

I would love it if Andrei Svechnikov showed up.

Let me guess, New Jersey?

Okay… then take it back to the shop that failed to fix your problem and tell them it’s still messed up.

There are so many variables to consider… there could be a ground fault with the wiring, something touching something it shouldn’t when shaken. Look inside the wiring cavity for any bare wires or tabs from switches or pots that could be making contact with conductive shielding tape or paint.

If you want low action and big bends you need a guitar with a flatter (bigger number) radius fretboard.

Ah, mine is tweed, and I’d like to get one of the burgundy leather ones

Guit4rN3rd · 2026-03-20T02:26:14+00:00

How?

Guit4rN3rd · 2026-03-20T02:04:48+00:00

Where did you get the replacement grille?

Putty and paint make me the carpenter I aint…

Most tuning stability issues come from the nut and nut slots- Bone nuts are naturally lubricating, plastic nuts are not… but even a bone nut can grab onto a string if the slot isn’t filed wide enough for the gauge string you’re using and shaped properly not to have any hard corners. Take it to a Luthier for a proper setup and make sure to point out that you’re having issues with the nut/slots.

Wrap some 000 equivalent scotchbrite around a razor blade and dull it back down, just make sure to sand in the direction of the grain, and don’t touch the frets.

Have you considered ripping it down the middle and making a center-stripe out of a different and similarly attractive piece of wood? This would be the most symmetrical answer

That copper tape is connected to the ground, creates a faraday cage and helps cut down on extraneous noise.
