But like does this yellow highlighted part make sense to anyone? I don't see it in ANY other wiring diagram. The connection from the volume pot to tone pot? #guitar #luthier #guitartech

I found this really nice strap for my guitar. It wasn't cheap, (just over $100USD) but it should last forever, AND it's a pretty good color match. It's leather with all brass hardware. The inside is smooth and doesn't grab my shirt like other leather straps with suede interiors do. It's a perfect buy-it-for-life option if you otherwise like the fit & feel of everyday cotton / plastic straps. #StrapLocks coming soon.

Success! I was able to get a hold of a set of Medium length "Ruthenium" aka "Dark Chrome" #StrapLocks S-Locks. #Schaller quit making this color a few years ago. I looked around a few different places and even had an order canceled. I don't get why they quit making this color. A ton of guitars have this kind of hardware finish. Installation pictures coming soon.

#GuitarTech here. It wouldn't cause damage but you'll need a setup, adjustment, and custom string gauge to get that to play properly. Let me know if you need since advice on anything.

@danfairs #GuitarTech here. Yeah poor QC is pretty normal for Fender. Their quality has been declining steadily for decades. I've worked on a million Fenders of all types and years and I would never buy one for myself. This isn't to criticize anyone who has one, anyone who likes them, or anybody who has one that isn't poorly made (or perhaps theirs has been fixed), but there's so many shortcuts they take in manufacturing and so many QC issues that I wouldn't spend my money on one.

Yesterday was #NewGuitarPickupDay! #Fishman Fluence Modern Stephan Carpenter signatures. I'm typically don't care for "signature" guitar gear for myself, nor do I really like the Deftones, but there's nothing externally indicating that besides the fact that they're glow in the dark!
They sound way better than my Alnico/Alnico experiment. Lots of EMG players will throw an Alnico 85 in the bridge for a different tone, but that trick doesn't work as well here.

I bought this guitar back in 2021 and finally got around to doing some work on it. I've had trouble with the pickups ever since it was new, but haven't really played the guitar much, so it sat largely untouched. I've been playing it a lot recently and still have problems so I decided to rewire it to eliminate that as a possible issue. Spoiler: the wiring ain't the issue here. I have yet another defective Fishman pickup.

I’ve never used/played coated guitar strings but am considering it lately. Then I remembered the PFAS issue of coated outdoor gear. Unfortunately the guitar string brands are reserved to provide transparency here…any input is very welcome! #guitarTech https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/gear/long-lasting_strings_arent_worth_the_environmental_impact_link_between_contaminants_and_string_coatings.html

Guitar resto update. It’s all back together. Hardly any new parts so very little recycling or landfill. Plays really well and sounds quite bright with light strings (it’s going to a learner). Have to give it a few days to settle and then faff with the neck and intonation and it’s done!
I’ve really enjoyed this. #crafter #guitar #restoration #recyclce #luthier #guitartech

#Introduction I am a polymath of sorts, although I suppose a more colloquial description might be jack-of-all-trades.
I am an English major, with an MBA who has spent most of his career in Information Technology and Industrial Engineering / Automation. Go figure.
I have always loved music, including #rock, #progrock, #progmetal, the occasional Country song, and large helping of #80smusic.
I play #guitar as a hobby and am an occasional #guitartech.
I was an avid #runner and Boston marathoner. But have been largely sidelined by PMR that has mostly left me, but didn’t seem to leave most of me. C’est la vie.
I am a long time #linux and #macos user. And with retirement in site, I am anxious to get back to some programming. Probably #swift, but honestly, I have rarely met a language I didn’t like.
I seem to have an affinity for #cats and there doesn’t appear to be anything for it.
So, well. I’m happy to be here…
[edit] Oh wait, forgot to mention sometime poet.
