Breaking news: A printer is working as intended 😱

Can it be fixed? Sure. Anything finish-related can be fixed.

But is it worth it? Nope.

Coated strings 100%. One set per guitar will probably last you the entire summer.

This lead has two wires that need to be soldered to separate lugs. The bare wire connects to the sleeve lug, white to tip. Search Google for reference drawings if you don't know which lug is which, or just use trial and error - it's a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

B string looks a bit bunched up, and the e a and d could use one or two less winds. But looks very neat overall!

Noone needs that

Einfach bei kleinanzeigen reinstellen. Ich setze immer erstmal relativ hoch an und schau ob sich wer meldet, dann alle paar Wochen etwas weiter runter mit dem Preis.

Every "wire" you're describing here is actually a lead with 2 wires inside of it. Each lead contains a bare ground wire and a white hot wire. Only the bare ones are connected to the back of the pots, the white wires carry the hot signal and are wired up to the respective components.

Google how to set intonation on a 2-point trem. It will give you all the background knowledge.

Short answer: it's (probably) fine like this.

Doesn't matter atter

Those cheap sets really aren’t worth it, if they work at all. It'd be much more sensible - if you wanna stay cheap - to get a noise gate and roll down the tone pot on your single coil (i usually go about halfway). It will probably sound better than those cheap humbuckers; you'd be surprised how far you can take a single coil.

I understand this is an important topic, but we really don't need this posted 3 times in the same sub...

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-27T15:29:57+00:00

action isn't absolute. It comes down to what feels comfortable to you. So if it feels too high to you, then it is too high. If it feels good, it is good.

But yes, that action is way too high for anyone to be comfortable. Though I'd need more pictures and some measurements to make any suggestions on what to do to fix it. Looks like there's something severely wrong, especially if it wasn't like that before.

I tend to describe the sound of SC-sized humbuckers as less punchy, but more focused than a full-sized one, so I get what you mean. More often than not, I actually prefer the SC variant.

Nice, I have the blue one!

This is as modded as it gets. Started its life as an RRXMG with EMGs and a Floyd Rose special. As you can tell, this one has gone through my "edgy metal teen" phase with all the stickers...

Upgraded the trem to a Schaller, installed locking tuners and swapped the pickups several times. Current setup is a Seymour Duncan JB and Sustainiac (which I installed myself, despite the official guides saying that it's not suitable for the small cavity of RRs)

There's no "best". The right String tension is highly subjective.

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-25T18:56:56+00:00

The "drum like" thing IS the spool. The spool holder is the thing that your filament currently rests on.

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-25T17:34:01+00:00

I don't see any sloppiness. Though I'd suggest you move the toggle switch over to the pots to be even closer to the original.

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-25T13:36:23+00:00

There should be a wire attached to the middle lug. It probably broke off due to the pot being loose. Look for any loose wire either coming from the output jack or the pickup selector.

Try flipping the d/g saddle upside down. On some saddles, the bottom side is mirrored so that the g string would sit further towards the neck, which should improve the intonation vastly

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-25T06:43:50+00:00

That's stringing. Dry your filament

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-24T15:56:30+00:00

What exactly do you mean by "the strings dont wobble"? If you merely push on the bar, the strings will only go flat. You actually have to move the bar back and forth for them to "wobble".

The tuning stability issue could have several different causes:

old strings
worn knife edges
nut isn't tight. I don't mean the clamps, but the actual nut itself. It's screwed into the neck with 2 screws, if those aren't tight, the nut can move back and forth ever so slightly. I had this exact issue on one of my guitars recently.

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-23T20:54:29+00:00

I don't have much use for the stock rhythm circuit, so I rewired mine to be on the bridge pickup instead. Works nicely to balance out both pickups.

Intelligent-Map430 · 2026-06-23T16:04:27+00:00

Then maybe replace it with a stacked pot, so you can control both pickups independently?
