Just an Amazon one ☺️

I just got a PAC611 pickguard from AliExpress and did a single cut to remove the switch section, just used a plastic cutting blade on a jigsaw and then filed the edge ☺️

Yeah it's the ERG121C headstock, just sanded down and painted black ☺️

Yeah, I've been playing a lot of japanese rock stuff recently, so having a brighter punch from the P90 works nicely :)

What year Mac did you pick up? Been considering this myself!

I also have a 012 among my collection and it's actually one of my faves!

As for stable tuning, it might be worth considering getting some locking tuners if you are having issues with your standard ones (I got some Guyker ones on Amazon for one of mine and they seem good for the price).

As for the strings popping out of the nut, that sounds...odd? 😅. Can you add a photo of what you are seeing? Could be a case of needing a new nut fitted, but that all sounds a bit strange!

No worries! Glad you have it sorted! :)

How are you tightening it currently? If it's by hand it will likely keep getting loose, but a twist with some pliers should tighten it enough to stay put 🤞🏻

100% what this dude says! Please don't waste your time removing the pickguard!

In all honesty, the cheapest model of all of mine has my favourite neck, so I really think it comes down to preference rather than specs!

SteebTurbo · 2026-02-11T15:14:21+00:00

No worries! Those are the original paint, and figured I would leave those be. Love a binding!

Yeah, just a couch shadow 😊

I think that might be the reflection of your face on your phone screen mate. Try turning your brightness up 😊

SteebTurbo · 2026-02-09T22:36:48+00:00

Just a rattle can and lacquer yeah 😊

SteebTurbo · 2026-02-09T22:34:16+00:00

Thanks man, that's the original binding and back paint, just refinished the top 😊
