Use a contact glue. Selley’s shoe glue works well for small repairs.

Awesome, glad you found it usefull.

hahaha The Wolf, love it! Cheers!

Thank you. I’m stoked with how well it come up. And equally surprised at how good it plays and sounds. ✌️

The original finish on these is actually a polyurethane, if the finish doesn't have any discolouration you can just sand it smooth. I wonder if it has had a refinish and wasn't properly prepared as it isn't common for it to come off with masking tape unless there is already some damage. If you are going to lacquer it, you will want to sand it back to the wood. Check out Brad Angove's channel, he is all about guitar paint and finishing. Great channel.

A bit more info. Comins GCS1ES, KA Humbucking pickups with push/pull pot for conversion to single coil (never used).

Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it. I’ve not come across this particular problem. Interesting though, do you have any pedals in your signal chain, and have you tried different leads?

@@RisingSunGuitarMods No pedals and tried different leads to no avail. I’m suspicious of a volume pot, as it appears to get worse across part of the range. I’m considering having it changed out. Difficult to find compelling evidence though so it would be on spec. Might have the wiring looked at in more detail. Shame you’re not in the UK!

@@danielg8001 I wonder if it might be interferance from a device that is emitting that frequency. Sounds strange, but try taking your amp to another room far away from where you have it currently set up. ... Also without seeing your guitar, if the wiring is messy or poorly done this can also contribute so a rewire might not be a bad idea.

@@RisingSunGuitarMods I’ll certainly give that a go now that you mention it. Turn all appliances off etc. Many thanks for your advice and suggestions. If I come across a solution I’ll let you know. Best regards.

Come on feel the noize Girls rock your boys We'll get wild, wild, wild Wild, wild, wild… Sorry but I have no idea what you’re asking.

Yes mate, find some old or cheap parts, make a cardboard template and mount your parts to it, use some scrap wire, even from an old appliance or anything being thrown away, then practice your technique. There are heaps of youtube video on how to solder. Take a look and learn what works for you.

The wire gets soldered to the back of the volume pot. The other end gets fed through the hole to the bridge post. Explained in the video.

If you listen to what I was saying the bolt was lodged in, I removed the inner nut but the bolt was stuck.

Have a feeling this was ment to go on the Blazer guitar video, but thanks man. Apreciate the comment.

Someone drank it all.

That’s correct. It could be something in your signal chain or even EMI from a close by power supply. There are a lot of factors to consider.

Yea I don’t disagree with the sound. For the clean channel at least. The gain channel is a bit harsh. The main problem with these amps is reliability, mainly when you drive them hard everything just gets too hot for the factory specifications to handle, nothing wrong with surface mount boards when they are designed correctly. These amps are notorious for failing due to poor design, especially on the 5w resistors where they are mounted directly on the board with through hole, and the plate resistors on the power tubes are under value for this design. Can be sorted with some mods but I think at the price point these are you shouldn’t need to. This being said you could get away with one never failing if you never drive it too hard. 👍

@@RisingSunGuitarMods yep this is probably true. I played mine hard for 20 years and then the heat resistor thing happened. I got the caps changed, resistors replaced and lifted and the tech drilled a little hole to vent the heat of the board on the back panel. The OD channel actually sounds decent now since Iupgraded the caps. I figured it would be just a "beater" amp for rehearsals and someting I wouldn't worry about like my vintage amps, but most of the time I end up liking the Blues deluxe better!

No, it generally doesn't matter assuming all other connections are good. But most of the time you will go to the volume pot.

@@RisingSunGuitarMods ok thanks for the info , much appreciated 😀

@@dayvodays8452 You're welcome bro.

Thanks mate. It’s a shame cause they sound great. 👍

Thanks brother, I mainly did this video so I could document it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoy the vids. ✌️

Hahaha. Cheers man.

Thanks mate.

Thanks bro. Appreciate your comment. 👍

Chur bro! 🤙

Thanks bro. ✌️

It’s coming mate. I have another Tele project on my channel, did you watch that series?

@@RisingSunGuitarMods Heck yeah I did!

@@jonathanmartin3375 nice. I have a couple project to get sorted then I’ll get back on this one. I’m not sure if I’ll try to keep the original paint or just go for it and redo it all since the original parts are a bit stuffed any way. Any suggestions?

@@RisingSunGuitarMods Go all out and refinish it. That's easy for me to say since I'm not the one doing it though. I hate sanding and refinishing guitars.

Thanks man. Absolutely does. Plays beautifully.

Cheers bro.

haha thanks bro, that could be an idea for a video you know!

The later I reckon bro! 🤣

Thanks Adam. Appreciate your comment man. 👍

Thanks man. Appreciate your comment. ✌️

Thanks man, I appreciate your comment and support.

Yea my other Hofner doesn’t have the bolt/screw. I was too unsure not to put it back in. I cleaned the joint up good and made a nice tight fit, but there just isn’t much there holding it in so I was worried it would come apart without the screw. Seams all good now and the strap button doesn’t bother me. 🤘🏼

@@RisingSunGuitarMods yes sir . people noticed the change in the 3 bolt CBS fenders in the 70's . Hofner can be a decent guitar but never going to be Gibson fender or PRS . all my resto's i fix any antiquated design flaws . they didn't know back then . great work

I found this one sounds better than my other one with the black bar pickup in it. Maybe the rewind helped.

It actually is the same, except you are right that one doesn't have the cutaway. What a waste. The neck on his comes off super easy too, makes me think putting the bolt back in was a good idea. :)

Thanks mate. Appreciate your comment. ✌️

Hey man, thanks for your input, I did have that thought actually. The problem I had is it could be seen from the top and cutting it to the letters made it so there wasn’t enough support. It ended up pretty good with ca glue and the pins into the headstock have kept it good. 👍

The bridge is floating so you move it forward and back. With the bridge on a slight angle the intonation is almost bang on. 👍

Cheers man. It’s not going anywhere at the moment that’s for sure. 👍

Thanks. ✌️

Thanks man, I’m happy with the result too. Appreciate your comment. ✌️

Thanks man. That pickup surprised me. 🤘🏼

😂 cheers. 🍺🍺

A couple have been done for clients, one was a birthday gift for my bro. I have donated some to music programs and I keep some of them. ✌️

Thanks man. I’m stoked with how it come up. And yep I surprised myself with how good the pickup ended up sounding. The acoustic sound at the start is just a 57 close to the f hole a bit of eq and some room verb and it sounds awesome.

Cheers bro, thanks for your support. 🤘🏼

Thanks man. Appreciate your comment. ✌️

This is normal, it means your guitar is correctly grounded. If yo have a hum due to electromagnetic interference, try this: th-cam.com/video/sAQP5HtdNuc/w-d-xo.html
