R3ign Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 i replaced a pot on my old FF, it came out easy. mine is a pain to get off lol. theres no more solder to take off the joints. but theres glue type stuf around the board, i have taken them off by gentely scratching them with a screwdriver. but still cant get the pots off.

Phill Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 hmm, seeing as they are made in taiwan they could be sealed down differently to the USA standard ones. the USA ones have the life time warranty so i guess the components need to be more accessible.

Phill Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm not sure. talk to Hooglebug, he's fitted a few. I've never seen a Vexter opened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adqeruin Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I find this a terribly good looking replica, grats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 right, so i guess there's no way to get them off then :/ all the ones iv done are vexter ones. im gonna be doing a full on proper one soon tho so i shall see if theres any difference. the only problem iv had is that sometimes the contacts come out with the pot, so i need to put a wire between the pot and where its going to. which is a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3ign Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 I find this a terribly good looking replica, grats! thanks, hopefully it will be finished as soon as i can get the pots out of the FF. i have asked mansons and they said that they could install one for me for £335 :O but cant help me with it lol.

Phill Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 harsh not a fair price considering all the routing is done etc. all they need to do it wire it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3ign Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 harsh not a fair price considering all the routing is done etc. all they need to do it wire it up. that price was without any routing.. i asked them how much would it cost just to fit it and they said around £100 wich is a rip off but i guess Hugh Manson can afford to set a high price due to the popularity of the FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3ign Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 UPDATE: manson's have my guitar now and they are charging me full price foe installation even though all the routing is done . they havnt given me a definate price yet but there ment to finish it by later on today. i guess some £200 + will post pics of the finished guitar when i get it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
