I've tried these from three different computers now with no success. Sad

Thanks. Without actually moving the bridge, I measured where it looks like it would fall. The scale would be 23 ½, which is a bit odd. . An extra inch of scale, warmer pickup tone, and greater st ...

Taking the springs off the bridge screws and backing it up against the mounting tabs doesn’t harm anything. Putting the bridge behind the mounting tabs doesn’t harm anything either. I’m sure t ...

That's a great question isn't it? Maybe have one custom made. I have not figured that out yet. Smile

I know this is a bit weird, but I was thinking about this as I was looking at the bridge plate assembly on my White Studio Deluxe. It looks like you could add another inch of scale length by moving t ...

This is something I’ve been doing for years on guitar, and now on steel, that works very, very well. Go to Stewmac and get something called "Guitar Grease". It’s only about $6 and I� ...

Very, very nice.

Sadly, I've tried and tried to stream it on TuneIn, but it fails every time on my iPhone.

I had a Studio Deluxe a few years ago, and noticed the same thing. It was a little thin sounding and lacking in sustain. I’ve wondered if it’s just a pickup issue, or if it’s something in the ...

Amazing!

I mean....I'm in, please!

Amazing!

Not enough capital letters.

That's great. Too bad it doesn't work for Blackberry. Sad

Thanks, again. A fellow forumite sent me a link to BSG Steel Guitars who make repro legs for fair prices.

Thanks y’all. I’m not sure if Fender legs will fit, either, but now I’m kicking myself for selling an old Champ with legs. Thanks for the links, Brad.

Hi all,

I just got a black and white Supro Airliner(or Comet?) for $299 on Ebay. It has sockets for legs, but no legs. Does anyone have any idea if replacement legs are out there? The pickup sou ...

1 less fret on the repro?

I've never seen one before. According to MF, it's a new product. I believe the fingerboard is plastic not maple, though. It looks like a different color version of the one on the budget model. Pre ...

They seem to sound great and also look great. The "Country Bucker" one would be very cool in a home build.

I've played one of these. It sounded *shockingly* great!

You’re correct, not bridge plate. I was thinking L brackets or something similar, as well. I think I’ll ask around and see if anyone knows anyone that has access to a machine shop.

BTW, Tom, I recognize you and your beautiful craftmanship from The Gear Page. You've answered a couple of my questions over there, as well. I'm "dhdfoster" there.

Thanks, again.

Yes, it’s just the two screws, and it’s a pretty steep break angle focusing a lot of pull from the back. There’s not really a place to drill on the back edge and I don’t have the ability or e ...

Thanks for the suggestions. The strings have a nice amount of wraps and they are going *under* the post as you tighten them, so I think that's correct. I have some Stewmac guitar grease on each slot ...
