Cripes.....I knew you`d built quite a lot but didn`t realise it was that many!!!!!!!!!

If you`re looking for an inexpensive way to do it, I`ve had reasonable results with stripping a cheap guitar humbucker - the coils are shallow so if you`re not worried about the finish, then simply...

Hey Roger, nothing wrong with the original with a couple of tweaks.
In my experience, the neck angle as standard is wrong so the bridge is usually as low as it will go and often the action is too...

Chris usually uses a 10 thou E. ...... D`Addario electric guitar strings bought individually. Might be worth double checking with him as he may well have gone a thou thicker. If you stick with...

A lot of people don`t...
