Hey... I know you use flickr, so I thought I'd ask...have you got a ton of views recently for no apparent reason? with the few pictures I have, I was getting a few views a day, and in the past hour, I've got 26 apparently and it's still going up. mostly the photostream, though (rather than the pictures themselves)

I must be cursed haha.
Sorted the neck out (mostly). took it off and tightened the truss rod slightly...a little tighter than I'm comfortable with though, but not to the point where...SNAP Looks better, BUT...another problem. the B string seems to be slipping out of the tuner. I don't understand that at all....going to try to do that thing with the knot when I (re)re-string it tomorrow.
gut pics are up if you didn't see them.
Also, the neck appears to be shimmed. Also has filled mounting holes from when it was on the Ibanez body

Hmm...just thought I'd ask. I sorted the issue with the strings flying out of the nut on that guitar (lowered the tuner poles - compared to the tele they were a LOT higher)...
might sound stupid, but would that add any tension to the neck? i had the strings off for a day, but the side where the tuners were adjusted has bowed somewhat. Other side is normal.

What do you think of this one?
Not sure about the tuners...and the pickguard looks hideous! also the headstock shape...may have just been what he used back then (1998).

Hey
Here's something that might interest you.
You know the Manson/BKP humbucker?...was just playing the Custom T which has that pickup, and that pickup seems to have a LOT to do with Matt's sound..

Sounds exactly like that if dialed in properly...it has that b33fy mid tone to it. (which the nailbomb lacks).

aye you got them wired up? how do they sound compared to the MQs? iirc those particular MQs sounded fairly different than the standard ones...I just remember the bridge pickup had a bit more attack, and the neck was a little more bassy...not as loud as the bridge pickup either. (though the amount of bass balanced it out??) lovely for cleans either way.

hey sexy
shatter should be here in a few hours. I'm really not sure about switching out the MQ pickup now....sherpa_man told me it was wound to match the neck pickup which was pretty high output.
To be honest, I don't use the neck MQ in my other one for high gain, and I don't have a bridge MQ in any of my guitars. How are you finding the bridge MQ in your black-o-caster with higher gain stuff? (I can't remember how they were when I had them)
