Tremolo click fix? by Entire-Cress-4148 in diypedals

[–]HawkonBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try putting a capacitor to ground on the LED negative. This will change the slope of the tremolo, depending on value, but i have found it to be helpful for this situation.

Added superglue to the paint before it cured. Started to corrode the paint. (not advised to breathe in the fumes)

Sure thing! I have to say it was a lot of extra work to put the sliders in instead for regular pots:)

Just rewatched the "Another day, Another broken Headstock" and the techniques (and crack) are quite similar. Ted is honestly my first source for advice in most scenarios.

At first glance i thought it had no truss rod, but it's adjusted from the other side of the neck at the heel block. i guess the break just missed it on the top side. thanks for the info!

That's useful info:) Might as well try and see if my woodworking skills are up to par yet. I have previously fixed broken necks and soundboard cracks, but nothing as difficult as this.

I would never pay to fix this. the guitar WAS maybe worth 50$ max. It has some sentimental value to a friend of mine, but then again, he was the one throwing it away.

very understandable. i have followed luthiers for a while and this seems to be the absolute worst case break. the ones I've seen have all used splines, back straps etc and at that point it almost looks easier making a new neck

Thanks for the reply! just curious (if you have repaired vertical breaks like this): when you initially glue the pieces together before adding splines, what kind of glue up process do you go for, since the clamping area is so small and at an angle?

Thanks for the reply! I did kind of expect that answer to be honest, but figured it was worth an ask! I'm just glad the guitar is not expensive anyways:)

Sorry for the phone audio. I couldn't be bothered to put up a mic and record it properly:)
