I put the Gotoh staggered vintage tuners on the Classic 50's Strat I had, but still had the string tree in place and the strings underneath it because pretty much the only area I'm a traditionalist with is with Strats and it drove me nuts to not have the string tree.
I don't use a string tree on my no.1. Thought about adding one but no point if it's not issue for me. All my others have them though.
There's definitely a balance there with the nut slots. Too deep will run into problems but too shallow runs the risk of popping out. Luckily I feel like mine is in its happy place right now.
I've suffered with only one Floyd guitar now.I'm not a fan of Floyds on anything tbh. I'd rather have a bigsby
I'm pretty flexible on teles. As long as they have vintage kluson-style tuners, a one-piece neck, single ply pick guard, volume, tone, and 3 way switch, two pickups with bridge pickup being a tele-style single coil with base plate, bridge has 3 brass saddles and the color is either butterscotch or drawn from the old DuPont Duco catalogs...
I probably would have been the first person on the planet that could make EJ curse.
He would have had to call the cops to have me removed. I’d be waiting outside the door to bug him about Fuzz Faces and shit every time he walked in or out.
Gut shots !I'd have been asking if I could look inside his fuzz faces.
Actually, lets ambush him. You harass him for info and while you have him distracted I'll take his stuff apart and take measurements and voltages.
It's almost like he has his own thing and is unique?
I only met him once (at a restaurant, my band mate and best man’s wife knew him and we ran into him going out to dinner. Very calm, almost shy and unassuming. I had the restraint not to pester. Kicked myself after, but Amy was pleased we didn’t spazz out.He would have had to call the cops to have me removed.
