Summer project, clean-up stuff you never finished edition.

I think i bought this over 10 years ago. It was all a box of parts never used, pretty sure the guy said he got most of it at Stewmac. I know the floyd copy is Stewmac, which could be a actual floyd variety, never really researched. There was a pickguard and a set of single coil EMG's with it. Still have those but currently have no extra strat bodies laying around. The X2N Dimarzio was out of a Samick red LP i got. Pretty sure i have a preamp in it, that's what the switches and small knob are for, there is a battery compartment on the back. Like i really need a preamp with a X2N. Anyway it will be finished sometime this summer.

That looks like an awesome project. Good luck and look forward to seeing the progress.

Swapped the tone cap on my Vola JZ FRO to a 0.01uf. I’m pleased with the result and for me the result is a more useful tone knob and more versatile guitar. I may do the same thing on some of my other Fender-ish guitars. Don’t even know what the old cap value is, it’s about 10x bigger than the replacement though.

Some years ago I swapped out the knobs on my Rat for bright orange mini-chickenheads which were a lot easier to see on stage. On a related note, for a while my preferred wah has been the Plutoneium Chi-Wah-Wah, and it has a similar problem: the stock knobs are awful. They're chrome dome-topped with a tiny dot to indicate position, and they are impossible to read under stage lights. (One really nice thing about the Chi-Wah-Wah - the controls all have a detent at the midpoint, so you can find it blind.) So I dug through my parts box, and found some other nice bright, easy-to-read knobs! You can see the difference:

This place is going out of business in a few days, but shipping is 8.95 so you have to order enough stuff to make up for that.

Sad. I've bought from them more than a couple times. Great variety of closeout stuff. Also, an email says they're giving 40% off any order over $100. That's really good for some of their offerings.

They're literally a few blocks away from me. I've been driving past there for the last twenty years every time I go to Walmart, never noticed.
