Those are nice. Enjoy.

I think they should have done these as 12 frets to the body, not 14. That would move the bridge into the middle of the body which should yield a fuller, louder tone.

I'd leave the neck but do a new nut and bridge for a 5-string tenor. I like wide spacing anyway.

It's not far from a tenor Jaguar and I like the colors.

I had a Republic Mandolian, which I believe uses the same body as the Recording King and Johnson. The key difference is the Republic has an adjustable truss rod, the others don't so warping and...

Okay, now I've seen everything (so far).

Musician's Friends "Stupid Deal of the Day" is for a cheap Rogue mandolin. That's nothing special, but this is the first time I've seen a warning for a...

FWIW I've setup tons of guitars and mandolins and it has always been a back and forth. It takes time for everything to settle in so expect to keep adjusting for 6-9 months - longer if you live in a...

Got an email today about StewMac's new Mini LP-style guitar. They also have Mini Strats and Teles.

Specs say they are 16.3" scale, which puts them in the Mandola range. I am able to tune my Les...

It's designed for Chicago tuning, which is E standard minus the lower 2 strings, so it shouldn't be too hard to transition. You can tune it in 5ths but the fret marker is in the wrong place which...

As noted above by nmiller, Japanese gear until the mid to late 70s was called "Jap Crap" because that's what it was. Kent's were on the lower rung.

The reason they became so "popular" had nothing...

Series/parallel switching can be easily done using a push-pull pot. And it's reversible.

Seonachan - sounds like you're pickups were wired incorrectly. If these are being done by hand, which I...

The shipping ledger is probably the most accurate record of what models were shipped and when so it would be a gold mine for the trademark lawyers.

I'm with you. I didn't know anything about or use any pedals for years. Then I met a fellow who wanted to start a pedal company and I got a crash-course in all things pedals.

There are basically 3...

You're getting into a "project" that is going to take time researching pickups, electronics and the sort then playing around to find the tonal sweet spot. Either you do it or you pay a tech. Beyond...

I run my Fender 5 through my electric guitar rig which is really 2 rigs - a clean (Takt) and a dirty (V8).

I use a Radial Bigshot to switch between the 2. Everything meets at a Pigtronix Infinity...

Modified dog leash from a dollar store. Works great!

The mandolin is named after the El Rey electric guitar Eastman has been selling for quite a while; the mandolin is a small version of that body shape.

It won't be released for another 9 years. The copy on the page reads:

Looks like a solid-body, although the ad doesn't say. Although it looks...

Some do and some don't. I did a search and it's inconsistent. Adding more baffle is that ukes tend to be tuned in 4ths leading one to think a 9th fret marker would be the preferred placing.

PTOEguy - yeah those are like apples and oranges. If the Eastwood was a semi-hollow I'd have gone for that but hollow bodies tend to feedback under amplification. If you're not gigging it's not a...

Looking good Fox!

Now why doesn't Fender re-issue something like this Gretsch 6127 Duo Jet Tenor Guitar?

I hope it's a huge success and they do more.

Since it's listed as one of their standard Telecaster offerings, and is no longer referenced as part of the alternate reality series, is it possible...

If it's just buzzing on the fret closest to the nut, try filing the fret first. Otherwise pop the nut, slip a piece of index card underneath, reinstall and re-cut the nut slots.

It's not that big a deal as the vast majority of content won't fall into the kid's category.

If the show is something like "Sesame Street" that will be playing in a daycare facility with...
