Friends,

Glad that this thread can still offer some inspirational tips. I did a couple mods last month that turned out screwed up and rendered one guitar “unusable” for a professional going into a studio. We fixed the problem and the guitarist feels way ahead of the stock axe, but there is a dark side to the process of neodymium field amplification. Should pass on the downfall to radioactive pickups and how to achieve balance in the face of overkill. All depends on your style if this is a show stopper or not. Will post details and OT string vibration trivia on how even stock guitars can be sending messed-up signals without you making some adjustments.

Best to all of you,
John
