Zurf, to have this amount of knowledge, you are obviously spending too much time studying these adverts. Please give it up before Mrs Zurf finds out and restyles your head with a frying pan.

Hi Ryan,
I think that Toots is talking a lot of sense here. Playing something of a different style, blues, country, folk or whatever is a great way to get out of a rut.

Strip-eze paste is gooey and nasty but it will heave the stain up and out.
I restored a wooden boat (mucho varnish) and a 1916 house all woodwork varnished). Heavy bodied strip paste is applied with a bristle brush. Time it to start removal just before the paste starts to dry.The resulting goo is removed with a damp rag and sanded clean.
Wear heavy rubber gloves because that stuff burns.

I have not heard of Strip-eze here but today I am out hunting for it or an equivalent as I really fancy a natural finish.
Phill, thanks for the idea but if I cannot have it natural timber it will be painted, probably bright red as I always wanted Hank Marvin's when I was a youngster. I did really like my surf green J&D strat copy that was stolen so, if it comes to it, I will have to make a choice later.

Sorry guys I was wrong...My Behringer set up is this: 5) Full humbucker 4) second hum coil and middle single coil 3) middle coil only. 2) middle coil and neck coil 1) neck coil only.
There is absolutely no need for an apology I welcome your comments, suggestions and ideas and I was most definitely not suggesting that your comment was wrong.
Having spent some time looking into pickup wiring and I have found that manufactures have many different ways of wiring up their guitars. It is a bit of a minefield.
Doing this from scratch gives me the oportunity to have it the way that I want and, although I like the idea of having a guitar that is switchable from S-S-S to H-S-S so that I have two guitars in one, I am open to suggestions and other ideas which is why I have posted this here for comment.

Re: Novo NGD para-me (31 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I always thought that the 5 way switch position 1 to 5 changed from (1)neck to (2)neck/middle to (3)neck/middle/bridge to (4)middle/bridge and to (5)bridge. Shows how wrong one can be.
Side 2 wiring seems best to get as much use of the humbucker as is possible.
This is the configuration for my guitar so if I connect the taped off red/white wire through a switch to earth I can ground one of the series wired humbucker pair and be left with a single if I want it to sound like a standard strat.
This is the first time I have wired a guitar from scratch and I am still in the planning stage, waiting for parts to arrive so any comments/observations are appreciated.

Re: Old guitar strings. (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Perhaps the ball ends on a string would be safer for a bracelet or necklace, they are usually chrome or brass but D'Addario has some fancy coloured ones. Mind you you would need a awful lot.

Sometimes you have to do it jsut to play the chord. In Alice in Chain's "Man in the Box" one chord in the chorus goes like this:

3How do you play that without going over the top? Not only do you go over the top but you must mute the SECOND string with the thumb!
It has always been my understanding that a chord is three (or more) different harmonic notes played in unision. The above is comprised of just G and D so can it be classed as a chord?
I say no!
(Mind you my chord finder says it is a Power Chord G5, but I still say no).

Re: Novo NGD para-me (31 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
If the 5 position switch is in the second position I believe that the neck pickup is switched off, but I will look into that.
I have started sanding the body down, it may not be obvious from this picture but the stain has penetrated the grain and in places it looks dirty so I have got to try to lift it out someway.

Re: Novo NGD para-me (31 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
The setup for this is H-S-S and it does not have a conventional Strat pickguard. I have located and ordered a correct one in white pearl I found on e-Bay, however it is coming from China so I have everything crossed that it will actually arrive. As a back up plan I do have a template for one but I prefer not to have to make it.
I intend to make a slight modification and fit a switch between the volume and tone knobs to allow me to switch the humbucker to a single coil for more versatility.
This photo is one I found on the Internet to show the guitar configuation. Strange how they all seem to be black, I can assure you that it is not a colour I would choose, black take too much cleaning.

Topic: Novo NGD para-me (31 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have just treated myself to this Yamaha EG112 guitar:
OK so I cannot play it yet. I need a new pickguard, 2 single pickups, one humbucker, pots, knobs and switch but first I have to sort out the body.
I am hoping that a good sanding will bring it back to the natural wood colour, the dark stain is awful and if I cannot get rid of it then I have to decide between Surf Green or a bright Red paint job.
As I have to get new pickups does anyone have any suggestions on which ones I should go for?
