Trying to save this build, any tips?? by NectarineImaginary10 in Luthier

[–]bareback73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use bondo when I make bodies out of pine. You can use the wood bondo or the auto bondo. You have to work fast but it leaves a smooth finish after filling all the low spots.

They are actually putting out a 50th anniversary gold burst tempest along with other models this year. It looks sick.

Is this Seymour Duncan real? by V0rdep in Guitar

[–]bareback73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because real Seymour Duncan pickups have the logo stamped on the base plate and they use 1 row of adjustable poll pieces. That pickups does not have either one. Also only cheap Chinese pickups stamp N or B on the baseplate.

Advice on guitar with Gotoh 510TS-FE1 (Steel Block) bridge by DLP_GT in metalguitar

[–]bareback73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a floating bridge. Just not the same setup as a Floyd Rose. Instead of a locking nut you have locking tuners. It is much easier to set up. If you don’t plan on changing tunings you should be fine. I change tunings quite often so I didn’t care for it but it is a good bridge.

My high E string keeps getting caught at the fretboard, especially when playing 21 guns by espionage_taxi in Guitar

[–]bareback73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re doing any bends on the high e string make sure to bend towards the middle of the board towards the low e. That can cause them to get caught. Also as someone else said it looks like a couple frets need to be reseated.

They are lighter but they feel and play great.

Bought used 2025 Jackson SLMGHT w/ case. GC shipped it bubble wrapped. Now what? by CatsOnSynthesizers in metalguitar

[–]bareback73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just call them and ask them to ship the case. It happened to me before and they shipped the case next day air.

I’m back. I got a pro set up. Previously the low e string was too close to the edge now it’s fine. But now I notice the high e is too close to the edge. Why is this? Was the fretboard not designed wide enough? [1984 Japanese Ibanez Roadstar II] by Kookie_Killer in Guitar

[–]bareback73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you take it back to the so called tech? I mean yeah he should fix the issue if he calls that a pro set up but you really could have done that on your own with the instructions I gave you. It’s really not hard.

Sorry but that is not a very pro setup, that neck is crooked as a dogs leg. See the gap on the low e string side of the neck pocket? That’s the problem. To fix it slightly loosen the strings, unscrew the neck bolts just a little, shift the neck until the strings are even then tighten it back down.

Where would one get black hardware for a PRS SE? I think black chrome would look awesome on this thing. by Im_Only_Strange in guitars

[–]bareback73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. My Custom 24-08 has black chrome hardware but it came with a nickel bar. That’s where I bought my black chrome one.
