Out of my depth here. I have an option to buy a beautiful used custom built thinline tele style (with the single 'F' soundhole) body with no pups but functional circuitry including a four way blade in situ. It previously had SD antiquities II pups and I was wondering if an SD Vintage STL1 rhythm pup and STR1 Vintage lead pups would be drop in replacements – I don't want to be faced with having to modify circuits. Also, and in the context of a semi-hollow body would there maybe be excessive feedback? Thanks

We've recently been talking about Teles and this might be of interest to some: https://reverb.com/uk/item/91267264-fend...londe-2016  Teles (single coils a must) are my favourite solid bodied electrics and I love this example - it pushes my buttons. Ash body, Fender's own vintage designed pups and and at least to my eyes a beautiful tasteful relic'd finish. I know relicing is a divisive issue which can be a big turn-off for some, and indeed this other more heavily relic'd example is far less to my liking: https://reverb.com/uk/item/91167119-2016...age-blonde

Hey y'all - Alan and I were chatting on another thread, and thought I'd start a new topic.

Here's my Fender Vintera 60's Telecaster. I'm loving the guitar and wish I wouldn't have waited so long to get a Telecaster. It has a 60's C profile neck with 9.5 in radius, very comfortable. 

Any other telecaster fans on EGF?

Hi guys - I have a Fender Vintera 60's Telecaster that came with side dots on the side of the neck that I could barely see. 

It was driving me crazy - so I searched all over the internet looking for a solution, and I found a great one which works well. 

So - if you have an acoustic or electric and want brighter side dots, here you go!

There’s a used Romeo LA available near me, and I’m planning to check it out. However, I would probably want to change the pickups to some kind of humbuckers, because I am a bit of a noise-o-phobe. I played a Romeo with the Lollar Imperials a while back, and the tone just absolutely slew me, so that would be plan A.

My question is this—looking at the Romeo design, the F-holes look narrow compared to typical 335-style designs, without the wider “crossbar” section usually found at the halfway point. I am having trouble imagining getting pots fished through those holes, unless perhaps they are minis of some kind.

Is this an actual issue? Has anyone here done a pickup change on a Romeo successfully? Did you do it yourself, or have a luthier do it?

Thanks!

What's the difference between the E1P and the E1P Bluesmaster?

Anybody who's ever bought a guitar neck to fit to their guitar will have faced the issue of whether to fit a decal to the headstock. Personally I find a headstock lacking a decal or two slightly unsatisfactory - a bit incomplete.

I just received an order of a K&K Pure Mini and on the box is stamped a production date of February 2019. I'm assuming it's been sitting around because it's not the usual model - it's configured for and comes with a Tapastring wooden endpin Vintage Jack.

Should I be concerned about any degradation in performance of this transducer pickup that's been sitting around for 6½ years (or the putty used in installation)?

The transducer pickup leads to a female 3.5 mm jack. The Vintage Jack has a corresponding male 3.5 mm plug to connect to the K&K.

Hi, I just bought a new Eastman AC330E-12 String and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm looking to upgrade the factory bone appointments and want to purchase some fossilised mammoth ivory blanks for a new nut and saddle. Does anyone happen to have the length, width (thickness), and height dimensions for the original parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy y'all... I've been a bit absent over the last 8-9 days. Took the family on a Royal Caribbean cruise and loved the fact that I did NOT have internet or phone access. True unplug from the world and had great times with the family.

Anyone else cruising fans on EGF? I think it's my new favorite way to vacation!
