  1. Wow. Apparently 15 years and 17,000 posts makes you a newbie. Looks like the software team that runs this place is doing their usual bang up job. And the site was only down for a weekend to make that happen.
  2. Looks great. Congrats!
  3. Put 3 guitarists in a room and ask these questions and you'll get 4 different opinions. It's so personal. I myself find strats to be the most comfortable.
  4. You can say that again. Seriously. Say that again. We could use the traffic.
  5. Filling is a bad idea. Either leave the gap, or get a wider blank and have it custom cut.
  6. Its working correctly. Not all gibsons are wired that way, but yours is.
  7. Nothing feels more comfortable than a strat to me.
  8. Love a double bound tele. Looking forward to it.
  9. They strings only need to sit in the slot about half way. They look ok from the pic. Don't want to go too low or you'll have more problems. Check the nut action. Hold the strings down just in front of the second fret. The strings should just clear the first fret.
  10. That finish looks like a polyester or polyurethane finish. No solvent, including naphtha, will get that stuff to reflow and close cracks. If it was nitro you'd have a prayer of fixing cracks and gaps because it reflows easily with sovent, or application of more finish. But, that doesn't look like nitro. I wouldn't worry about it anyway. It looks to be in great shape other wise. If you can't find original electronics one of these may do. https://www.guitarfetish.com/Active-Preamps_c_51.html
  11. Congrats! Fwiw, naptha won't fix cracks in the finish.
  12. Pictures, or they are both hello kitty strats named Steve.
  13. Its all preference. If you dig into it you'll see lots of different hand positions, slide shapes, and slides on different fingers. Some like it on their first finger, some middle etc. I suck at slide, but, I personally like it on my ring finger.
  14. Start your own thread and post pics and model number if you want any meaningful responses.

The depth of the slots for the wound strings should be half the width of the string. The depth of the slots for the plain strings should be about the width of the string.
