Wish I had seen this before I wasted money on the nearly useless (for guitars) welder's tip cleaner set. However, your method will make a flat bottomed slot. Shouldn't the slot be rounded?

Here's one for the books....I bought a lp std in 96. Never really thought it sounded that great. Had a Luthier look at it. He said just raise bridge .....nothing changed. High e string always sounded bad. Finally after 20 some years.... I lessened the tension by raising the stop bar. Sounds better, bends better.....

Take the chassis cover off and you will find the channel status led that hasn't been fitted to the panel, also the drive channel uses a famous chip like the one in the tube screamer with a couple of leds I suggest someone solid state trickery going on

Your humbucker is back to front

A truss rod adjustment to change string height? What?! You didn't even guage the neck first.

The overdrive is solid-state on this amp

I have an Idea why not just use the right size screwdriver? One that the deivers blade fits perfectly and that is wide enough? Then you wouldn't have to use a awkward popsicle stick as a screwdriver. Lol Grandpa always said use the right tool for the right job.

Lol. I hardly ever have a problem marring up a screw especially the screws on a tail piece. You must have totally over tightened the screws and or used a wrong size screwdriver blade. You laughed like the people that dosen't use a popsicle stick as a screwdriver is stupid or something. Its the other way around as first you use the right tool for the job meaning the correct size screwdriver. One that fits perfectly and having a wide blade. Which yours clearly did not.

its nice to see the struggle you get in reality. Thanks

These Nuts! :D

Center of the twelfth fret? Actual fret? Or between 12 and 13

guitars come with 10MM long saddle adjustment screws and I swap out to 8MM ones to keep your outside right hand from getting chafed.

thanks man this the exact video i was looking for... i was wondering why my prs se was so hard to bend... cheers man

Use the string as a file. Works great!

Who did Uli steal from this time?

These are jewellers fretsaw blades , not files.

A video on how not to change your pickguard in this way. Yikes!

Just received a firefly guitar and this video was incredibly useful. Thanks so much for sharing!!

I have a set of music nomad files work good, but not for a professional who would be doing a lot of nuts

I use drill bits as a saw. We all have them and in most sizes to fit the string gauge perfectly.

Sound sample, please ....?

I use an old Sam club card. Slide it tight against the nut. Gets close, then uses a feeler gage if needed. Yours is a good method also

Just thought you might want to know ... Your name should be "How Tos." Apostrophe s ('s) would be for possessives and contractions. Here, "Tos" is plural. Don't let all those ads and references to the 60's (sic) and 70's (sic) fool you. They're dead wrong. They should be written: the 60s and the 70s. Relative to your topic, here, I have a friend who once mounted a speaker to a piece of plywood (I believe it was 1/2") and used no speaker cabinet at all. It sounded surprisingly good. Less bass than a cabinet would have provided.

Yeah, these would be great if a large number of them didn't break and/or burst into flame in the first few months of use! Not a feature I want in any amp!

What brand of files are those? All the jeweller files I see are a lot bigger

Great video and great amp too! They sound so good right out of the box

Thank you for a helpful video

5 core made in india

1- 10 30, 2- 5 core, 3- skar, 4- 10-35. 10-35 seemed muddier than the rest, 5 core was bright and clear, I'll have to try their guitar speakers! Great video, Thanks!

That 5 core sounds great!!!!!🏅🎖

focus damn it

doesn't look right. They are called EZ lock, that didn't look easy or locked.

I use Music Nomad's setup guide with feeler guages checking string height at the first fret. The danger is going too low or too wide - new nut incoming.

Even tho microphonic, the pickups they make sure sound good don’t ya think ? Their freakin P90s are ridiculously awesome

Yep! Some of the nicest inexpensive guitars I’ve owned have been firefly’s.. I’ve had 3 now , the red 338 like yours , and 2 of the classic goldtops , I kept the one with the p90s, it has the nicest fat 50s neck on it and all the binding, fretwork, paint etc … flawless and insanely nice playing ! Besides my Jet guitars , firefly’s are best bang for $

I’m gonna attempt to make one of these myself so I’m glad I found your channel

I dig your channel!!! This is good stuff bro !!

Fill the holes and redrill, capo the strings take the neck off replace the pickguard nothing to it

why on the earth i dont have cool neighbour like this gentlemen . why god WHY ???????

I've done locking tuners on my Epi LP. When working on Bridge or pickup height with a PMS (pickup mounting system) you lose the set of strings. Can't get enough slack to remove the tailpiece. As for the roller bridge, I would not do will a hard tail guitar.

and how does it sound ?

I’ve seen a bunch of videos on this, this is the best technique. Thanks

Hey bro !, do you know what size the bridge is on this guitar? 52.5 or 54 millimeters from the center of the sixth string saddle to the center of the first string saddle. Sorry for my English 🤘

Obviously wrong on so many levels!! The string slots depths should only be half the diameter of the string!! You’re showing people how to ruin the intonation of the instrument!!!

Well done. 12a sound killer

😂. This is definitely not how to do it. You want the wraps to go from the top to the bottom to ensure a proper break angle. Wilkinson has instructions.

Sponsored by TikTok? Not cool.

If you put a "Quick Connect" in your guitar Jack location, and the other connector on your "loaded" Pickguard, you can swap all the electronics and Pickups in under 10 minutes, without any soldering. This makes one guitar as versatile as the number of loaded Pickguards you have. There's a short video on YT called "Tutorial: Quick-Swap Pickguards for Strats" that shows how simple it can be. I can swap a loaded pickguard on my Strat in about 8 minutes from loosening the strings, to tuning up with the Loaded Pickguard ready to go.

Very cool.. More than one way to skin a cat as they say! ❤.. Thanks man ❤

How did it sound 😮
