Well, if you're sloppy about it.......gotta cover them tracks. Actually might be legal in some states.

Will be out of town for a few days, so it will get plenty of time to settle in before I get a chance to play it again. So far though, I'm loving it.

Brilliant! I can learn how to replace nuts, fret wires, dress 'em, etc. Save the technique learning for the warped one so I don't mess of a good one. Good thought! 8)
yeah, definitely something to learn on...and if you don't want to try to fix it, I certainly will lol. Bring it to the meadowlands in August to keep your ride from getting stolen. Make some sort of stearing-wheel lock out of it.

Maybe after it's all said and done, I'll rip off the fret-board, yank out the truss rod pieces and make a little seedling starter. It'll make good practice for sure for a while.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325800 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325795 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:08:10 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance U2Bono269 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325795 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325792 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:49:11 +0000
I'm not sure I would pick your method of obtaining a neck to experiment on, but now that you have one...]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325792 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325669 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:41:33 +0000
Sorry for your loss, Strats are great BTW, I am sure you will come to love yours too.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance RoundI https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325669 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325647 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:41:58 +0000
TR: Our humidity is similar to Upstate's. Lots worse in the summer.

This Strat and I have never quite seen eye to eye. I really wish I could remember when I bought it. There were two of them and neither seemed better than the other. Also available was a rosewood board, so I guess I chose out of three. It seemed odd feeling, but I wrote it off to being maple. It was not too long after I purchased it that I started hearing the buzzing. A tweak here, a tweak there. Never dawned on me that it could be warped.

I'm hoping that will change with the new neck. I checked out the Fender Forum and it seems I'm not alone. Probably just because there are so many MIM's in circulation. When I got my Squire Tele to get in to better shape than this MIM, I decided it was time to force the issue with this one. Fix it one way or another. I didn't figure on spending $180 for a mostly new neck. Somebody's running a by MIM's cheap and chop shopping them. Huge volume on eBay as well as a 99.9% rating. I could have paid less and won me an auction, but who knows what I would have gotten.

I am really hoping that I soon find out why so many love the strats as I have found out why people love Teles. Even teles improperly set up with 6 strings instead of 5. :twisted:

Picks will come. I warn you though, I bought the ugliest pick guard when I put some GFS pickups in. 8)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/confessions-of-a-strat-murderer/#post-325647
