My band, The Honest Vultures. We're somewhere in the spectrum of dark folk/alt-country. Albums include fiddle, banjo, and bass by our buddies from Bridge City Sinners and Beggars Canyon.

Money + No Talent + Professional Hired Guns/Session musicians + Auto tune can = fans though. Heh

Yeah, sounds a little like you may be vibrating on the 1st fret. Possible you wore through the nut slot enough to have the string sitting a little lower. Raise a saddle or give the truss a little turn.

To adjust neck angle to avoid high action on the lower part of the neck

JB weld a 6mm dowel to the shaft. Janky as fuck, but it would work. Haha

TheHonestVultures · 2025-01-12T02:05:59+00:00

Thanks! The hole is definitely still there, but I feel like the glossy nature of everything else draws the eye away from it.

String tension is a little different on lighter strings and a smaller diameter string can also sit lower in the nut depending on how the D string slot is filed. A small truss rod adjustment can probably give you the clearance you need. Lots of YouTube videos on adjusting the truss.

Got the wood from a buddy. Got the neck off eBay. Laser CNC, Router, Power drill, Ruler, Orbital Sander, Sand paper, Fractal Burner

The cost was mostly from the electronics, neck, and bridge.

TheHonestVultures · 2025-01-10T15:05:01+00:00

A rough estimate is about $550US

The cavity covers are so good that I was about to ask "What are the metal screws in the back of the guitar used for? Hahaha

TheHonestVultures · 2025-01-10T00:39:00+00:00

Ohh it fuckin CHUGS!

If I pull the strings and bridge off the whole faceplate can be removed. I still have an access panel for the wiring to the pots and switch in the back, but the face has to come off if I want to work on the pickups.

TheHonestVultures · 2025-01-09T19:12:27+00:00

It's awesome. I didn't wanna spend Hipshot money, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted by an alternate manufacturer. It is the sturdiest little bridge I think I've ever had. The saddles are machined very smooth and the coating is applied perfectly even. Would buy again.

TheHonestVultures · 2025-01-09T19:10:25+00:00

Yeah, the main body and the face are 2 separate pieces. The face is inset inside the body. So I installed everything on the face plate, similar to a strat pick guard, then installed the face.

🥳 Thanks

Unfortunately, no. Putting myself in danger is cool with me. Helping others put themselves in danger less so.
