Had an old Marshall combo in the house. Had a look inside after 10 days of it sitting there unplugged. Poked my hand where I shouldn't have and it threw me across the room. I didn't do that again since then! Cheers Andrew

Nice Job you just need to set the intonation now!!:):) Cheers Andrew

If you want a good finish for that head, get yourself some rustins plastic coating. It's tough as old boots. I finished an SG guitar I made about 50 years ago and it held up really well. You could also get it in smaller quantities. Hopefully they haven't changed the recipe. Rustins also do a...

And he`s running the cut in the wrong direction, what a wally !!

Well If they are metric then you should have no trouble finding equivalents in the UK. You would probably find that they(Prucha) would send you the replacement parts. The only problem being the post brexit fines by the customs and uk postal services. Cheers Andrew

Those screws look like they are about 6/32 thread some fender stratocaster pickup height screws might fit. You should easily find them at a guitar repairer. Cheers Andrew https://www.amazon.co.uk/KAISH-Stainless-American-Stratocaster-Telecaster/dp/B0B5GJTP3R?th=1

It's a daft idea. The thieves will just sell the stuff in the pub or wherever. The idea of tagging tools seems to be sensible. Cheers Andrew

We had ordered guitars from China, first samples were great, first delivery fine, then downhill from there. Returning faulty items is usually unviable. It's a lottery!! Cheers Andrew

Obsolete packaging is a way to get around selling items for a lower price than recommended so that other dealers can't have a go at them for price dumping. It's used everywhere in retailing (B stock with no visible sign of any damage or anything wrong with it) It keeps the manufacturers sweet ...

Those safety glasses wouldn't have been much use if that chuck had hit him in the teeth! cheers Andrew

https://www.forestguitarsupplies.com/236-1-piece There you go. Should be something for you there. It`s all finished to 45 mm thick (which is what you want if your'e doing a 59 burst with a maple top. Unfortunately because of brexit it's going to be more expensive. Cheers Andrew

1.75" should do you if your doing a burst. If your doing a 1954 all mahogany then you'l want another 15-16 on top of that. Did you ask on the Mylespaul forum? Cheers Andrew

The crappy moulded 100mm down to 60mm or whatever it's supposed to be reducer is an absolute piece of junk(doesn't fit without heating it) record have come up with a new connector on the camvacs but won't supply it to existing camvac owners who want to upgrade (I can't see any reason why not as...

Thanks for all the replies. I managed to get the marks out by rubbing with a cloth with some Methylenchlorid - Dicchlormethane (thats the German name for it on the bottle. It's used for model plastic kits as glue) A quick rub and the marks have gone. I hope it helps?? I sent Rutlands a message...

I have just clamped up some Honduras Mahogany with some Rutlands one hand clamps that I bought a few years ago (red plastic sides with a black kind of rubber material on the faces) and the clamps are leaving what seems to be an oily mark on the wood. Has any one had any similar experiences with...

I've got a Vaillant boiler the last repair from Vaillant cost about €300 for a circuit board. There was a popped electrolytic cap with a bulging top (chinese?) Unfortunatly I wasn't home when the service guy came I would have fixed it myself. But by law here in Austria they are not allowed to...

I wonder if one would consider the recent batch of politicians as natural disasters?? Cheers Andrew

They might be very sensible, just try walking up an icy slope with them!! The icy slope definitely wont tolerate you!! Cheers Andrew

I live in Austria and in general snow is not a problem. A few weeks ago there was a good snowfall of very wet snow which brought down a lot of trees and especially branches because of the heavy weight, including the top half of our neighbours pine tree. The authorities here were a little slow to...

I use a hardened map pin or scribber point. Cheers Andrew
