I’ve made this telecaster from scratch the wiring part. When I put the multimeter on the sleeve of the output and on the cable tip when it’s in, I get no feedback. I had a messy soldering job before and I redid that and I am pretty sure I did everything correctly. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
I broke the tuner off of my SG a few weeks ago and am trying to figure out how to remove it so I can put on a new one. I’ve got the back screws off but I don’t know how to actually the washer and the tuner itself off (I’m not very handy lol) any help you be appreciated!
I've been considering getting the Music Nomad Grip Winder.
But recently I found out about the existence of ratcheting screwdrivers. Music Nomad sells a 1/4" hex bit for pegwinding. That and a ratcheting screwdriver come to about the same price as the pegwinder, and I already have a set of 32 screwdriver bits that I could use with it too.
Has anyone tried something like this? How does it compare to a standard pegwinder in terms of effort and time?
Recently attempted to shield my strat, and afterwards there is this weird buzzing alike to the buzzing the pickups make when a phone is close, but instead it’s all the time, and even when I touch the strings it doesn’t fully go away when beforehand the low level buzz would go away. I don’t think I shielded correctly as the copper shielding doesn’t rise up above the body. The buzzing also gets worse when I play the open strings hard sometimes, usually when my hand is near the strings. What should I do? Pickups I have: Jazzmaster neck, jaguar bridge in the middle and a humbucker in the bridge. Also the humbucker only sometimes cancels out the hum and since I have it set up so the jazzmaster and jaguar pickups are out of phase they aren’t hum cancelling.
Also the bridge is dented down into the guitar also.
I was trying to tune the b string, but apparently I was twisting the high E string's tuner... It snapped right off😭 it has just been 3 months and I've broken it already😭
Well, today i was just restringing my guitar this happened 2 times i can't really provide a video but can someone explain? i used luthier knot for the strings and they are brand new and i just put them my bends were weak then when when i tried after 2-4 times they just break
I recently restring my squire strat with fat bottom broadways from Stringjoy. I noticed after tuning that the action is incredibly high and the trem bridge is lifted. How should I fix it?
I bought a used Taylor acoustic online and am very happy with the sound, but the neck peg where a strap can connect just completely fell out. The screw stripped the hole and can’t be retightened.
I am reading online about using toothpicks and wood glue. To fill the hole with these to give the screw something to grab.
I don’t plan to sell this instrument any time, so I don’t care what this would do to the resale value. I would love advice about how to proceed and basically just care about a successful outcome.
Thanks!
I’ve tried every hex key I have imperial and metric with no luck.
I have this guitar that was given to me as a kid from my neighbors. It was their grandfathers, they didn’t want it but I was learning guitar at the time so they gave it to me. As years passed, it went with me moving homes twice as an adult. The last move was an abusive relationship, had to get out fast and my guitar was stored in my parent’s garage. Unfortunately they had flooding a couple of years ago and I didn’t know the case the guitar was in was affected. I pulled the guitar out today. Is there a way to salvage it? I’m pretty upset about it, and would have pulled it sooner if I had known.
The cord jack nut came unscrewed and the female part of the jack fell off inside of the guitar (hollow body). I have no idea what to do with it. Is it a simple fix, or will it cost a crazy amount of money to repair it and replace the nut?
I've had it since 2012, but haven't been able to play it since 2020. (I just got it out of storage, likely needs some service anyway).
Thoughts? Thank you in advance.
As the titles,
It’s a 1999 Gibson
While in bridge pickup volume 8-10 will have noise
Neck also
In the middle if both pickup 10 10 will silence
And if either one pickup volume 8, other volume 10 will have noise
And both 8 8 will silence also, not sure why
I’ve checked the soldering diagram, it’s all correct
Even port changes still cant find the reason of it
Using other guitar humbucker in the same amp and multi effects, other guitar works well, only this guitar got this issue
Need help for it, thank you 😭🙏
I got a free broken guitar at a antique store. The bridge was extremely loose, and I broke the remainding part off now to see how it looks.
Parts of the top is stuck to the bridge. It’s probably gonna be some work to get this right for a newcomer repair tech
Its a cheap Gecko GF-40 which retails at around $120 in Norway.
Is it worth it to fix it? I was thinking I could fix it, and pass it on to someone if it’s playable.
Edit:
Forgot photos, added to imgur
Screwed up my Ibanez, trying to fix it myself. I see two wires that came lose, (black and white)
Can anybody help show me where to solder everything back in ?
Hace unos 5 días me compré una Cort G110, al estar tocando noté este juego en la pastilla del puente, es normal o debería preocuparme.
When i got the guitar originally, it would play at very low gain low volume through a amp or daw.
When trying to turn up the gain, the metal on the guitar being touched causes massive interference.
I know thats reverse but thats pretty much it. Bit shit at all this
Tried to fix myself and i haven't a clue on what to do next.
Only a single picture online i can find of wiring for a simular guitar.
Would appreciate any advice or guidance 🙏
Hi so my neighbors cat was outside my bedroom window at 2am last night staring at one of my cats, then jumped at the window hard and woke me up. my cat jumped and knocked my keyoard & books over, then ran across the room jumped on the wall and bounced off knocking 2 guitars down. It was dark and I was just looking down becaues it was face flat, I put it back in the stand... when I woke up in the morning I saw what happened and cant believe it. I've had this Ibanez for 20 years, it was my first guitar I worked and payed for with so many memories and it has taken tons of falls before...
any ideas on what this would cost to fix and who to ask? I wasnt sure which sub to post this on
I have never seen this type of truss before and i have no idea how to acess it.
broken tie block on my lucero classical guitar. it broke a while ago and i’m curious how much it would cost to fix.
