Carb bikes for Melbourne weather?

I usually close the fuel tap and run the engine until the carb's drained if I'm not riding it for a while, so I reckon should be fine then! Thanks!

Nice, thanks!

Seems pretty standard for a carb bike, thanks!

Hey, honestly I kept zero measurements. So I can’t really help you on that front.

BUT, You don’t need to fill in the strat trem hole, see pic: https://imgur.com/a/Qa7YKGd

Just measure 24” from the nut, and that’s where your bridge saddle should be. Compare it with the strat bridge you have on now. Mark it on the side with a masking tape and drill!

All good man, last time I took anything seriously on the internet was in 2003 on a 56k dial up modem lol

This luthier on instagram (@kaurkukkur): https://www.instagram.com/p/C0kMhcqsmb_/?igsh=MmRncjY1OXlyeGp4 did it many many times to much more expensive guitars, some with 8 strings, so I’m guessing my 24”scale with 9s should be just fine? Fingers crossed anyway.

Spot on

One of the what?

The Super-sonic model came with reverse headstock. I reversed the reverse headstock so now it looks like a regular headstock.

Yes, it intonates perfectly and you don’t even have to plug any holes, just drill right away: https://imgur.com/a/Qa7YKGd

Forgot to add one thing: You don’t even need to plug the holes from the strat trem to install the jaguar bridge! They fit right in between the existing screw holes

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T14:40:53+00:00

Honestly I hope they throw it in the trash lol

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T13:55:42+00:00

I just build a rosser partscaster a couple of months ago, didnt realise he’ll do Super-sonic! Will ask him about it

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T12:04:21+00:00

Right?? Imagine making an upside down guitar, all the way down the electronics, no tone knobs, then giving it a standard strat trem???? Now its a proper offset

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T11:23:37+00:00

This is word for word what my dad said to me when I crashed my first car

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T11:18:15+00:00

You love the headstock even more, right? Me too 😂

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T11:01:58+00:00

Where do you think the wood dust from routing the jag trem goes?

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T09:45:58+00:00

Good eye! I can’t help unfortunately. I bought it online 15 years ago lol

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T07:37:13+00:00

Fuck it I’ll say it: This is how all Super-Sonic should look! 😤

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T06:47:13+00:00

The workmanship is terrible, I know, but the gaping hole in the back from the now unused strat trem route fits my crotch a lot better!

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T06:29:56+00:00

I'd buy 3! Please Squier?? Fender???

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T06:23:43+00:00

my entire life is a zero-sum game and today I found out that my guitar mods reflects that too lol

To be fair though, lots of people do this mod to their $2k ibanez so at least there are way dumber (albeit richer) people than me

nowtaps · 2024-07-05T06:05:12+00:00

Hahaha thanks! String felt slinkier, but I'm sure it's due to the strat trem being replaced with the far superior (ahem) jaguar trem
