Re: Woohoo!!!

Okay, i just got this baby in the mail, and It's AWESOME!!! Truely a handmade one of a kind [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Whenever i can, i'll get pictures of it attatched! I got it put together as quickly *and carefully, following all instructions* as i could lol. The heal's a little bit thin, causing the action to be like superhigh, but i managed to lower the bridge and pickups enough to where its comfertable. Its extremely lightweight as well! Now i just gotta figure out how the tuners lock, and i'll be all set [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Woohoo!!!

[img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] With the Sperzel tuners, you won't even have a full winding of string around the post. The minimal winding around the post helps keep the string from slipping like it would if you had more winding. You just loosen the locking screw, pull the string all the way through and hold it tight with one hand, taking up all the slack in the string... then you tighten the locking screw with your other hand (there's a pin inside the post that the lock actually pushes up to hold the string against the inside of the post). Once you tighten the lock, the string will be locked in place, then you tune up normal.
If you want to see what the pin looks like, loosen the screw all the way until it comes out, then the pin will come out.

Re: Woohoo!!!

Re: Woohoo!!!

Thanks! Its really thin too, and i think that's what got rid of most of the neck dive while playing. Nowwwwww, the only problem i can find is that i need a wrench, or wratchet type thing to adjust the truss rod. Damn, i'm never gonna get tired of playing this thing lol.
