Hi all! I am new here, and really excited to be a part of the community. I am starting a new build, a 6 string semi hollow carved top with Tremolo bridge and Piezo. I'd appreciate some input to choose the best system out there. I haven't used/fixed/installed a tremolo with piezo bridge lately. I am open to hearing if you have come across something lately and felt impressed by it. It's going to be a workhorse guitar for a touring musician.…

Hi everyone,
Every once in a while, I come across a bass that simply refuses to stop buzzing.
Right now, I’m working on a bass (I won't name the brand, but it’s in the €2,500 range) that has a slight fretboard hump near the neck pocket. I figured that was the culprit, so I performed a fret level under string tension. The frets are now perfectly level... yet, it continues to buzz across the entire fretboard, even with fairly high a…

I did contact Ron at Nashville Plating Service. He was very straight forward and easy to talk to and we agreed to do a test run of some archtop hardware. Thank you for the contact.
Looking for a solution to efficiently pour from the metal hardware style gallon sized chemical cans into smaller squeeze bottles. I always make a mess and make waste . I have searched for an after market screw on spout to no avail.
Hi Everyone,I hope you’re having a great weekend!
Can anyone help diagnose my mystery B string buzz? I tried to attach a video but the site won't take it.
I’ve tightened all hardware and the b string is not hitting any frets.
I’m giving it a set-up and when I had to lower the nut slot height of the B string it improved a bit.
When I capo at the first fret the buzz disappears so it seems to be something going on at the nut. …

Hi Ian, I just sent the email. Thank you for your time and attention!
Would you have any recommendations on wiring configurations and piezo controllers to replace the electronics in my Music Man Reflex, which used to have the Game Changer system? The guitar has an HSH pickup configuration with a piezo bridge pickup. It has three existing holes for Volume/Tone/Blend, a blade switch slot, and a 3-way switch hole. When I bought this guitar about a decade ago, the Game Changer system offered a mind-numbingly a…
