sadly, i had to sell the strat  :eek: to get the goldtop back

I will surely get callaham parts once i get the funds to get a custom shop strat. When i removed all the upgrades, the strat went from Oooh to ah? you get what i mean  :lol:

oh wow. kaya pala! but i'm sure you're happier with the goldtop!  :-D

Can you share significant improvements since the bone nut installation? Thanks
I'm torn between bone and graphtechs

bone is usually used for higher end models/custom shops. a good example is Taylor guitars. the current Taylor production line (even up to 900-series) uses TUSQ nuts and saddles - Graphtech. but if you go to their custom shop, bone is one of their options.

based on experience, bone improves sustain better than Graphtech does and lends stability to the strings. Grapthech's selling point has always been tuning stability, which i'm sure it does very well.

Thanks. Rap of Arcee also suggested the bone nut. I have Elixir 11s installed right now- so i can expect additional string tension? The Elixirs have a bit more tension compared to my last set which was Power slinky 11s.

thinking wether to revert to 10s when i get the bone nut installed.

Ayaw kong magmadali- baka maubos na pwede kong i mod sa guitar..
pero seeing your posts... the possibilities are endless!

In my lp's, looser string tension ang effect ng bone nut, aside from tuning stability, sustain, and clarity.

From active:




To passive:
-PAF7/DSonic7
-Changed pots to 500k Alpha

I removed the EQ's DPDT switch from the PCB, i find it sturdy, so might as well make use of that - coil split switch.  :-D


And here she is now, as free as a wild flower.   :)
