That is NOT how to string the left side and the use of a screwdriver assures damage. You are a 'how not to' dunce.😢

You can wrap up the screwdriver in plastic to prevent damage to stop tail piece

therres a pedal most people dont know about Metal End King the BIG one - look for it its usuly around 80$ and its insanly good and superversitile

you should dial each pedal to be close to unity (same volume) that would be a good way to judge the distortion without judging the volume boost

you dont have your cabinet miced - so we cant hear anything

No. It is you that sound the same, not the pedals or any equipment.

No all distortion is not the same...

Rulers work better than popsicle sticks when it comes to measuring adjustments on your guitar 🤪

I don't think Dickie knew who the hell Steve Lukather was at the time .....Lukather was not prominently known I would presume in 1971 Great job BTW

Wow! This is the best lesson on this solo! Thanks a lot!

It helps to tin (twist then add solder) to the wire prior to soldering it to the input

So does it work? I watched the Guitar Max video about this same loaded pickguard and that one didn't work!

You were adjusting the truss rod without checking for straightness of the neck first (with a notched straight edge for guitars)? Truss rod isn't for adjusting the action at the 12th fret. That would be bridge height.

Is it correct to achieve 0.3mm between first fret and underneath the string holding it down on the 3rd fret

Here's how you do it completely wrong and stupid way to do this do not watch video it will make you dumb

Doing it that way looks difficult and wrong. I think you should wind the string around the shaft before inserting it through the second time 😁 and no need for that amount of slack and string wrapping

A most excellent and skillful demonstration of this amp! I've been searching TH-cam for a demo like this. Just about everyone I'd come across showcase only the metal aspects of the 333XL... very annoying. Yes, we know it's a very capable metal amp, but it's like insisting a Vox AC30 can only be used to play jangly stuff. Not true as I've employed them for hard rock for years, and so have players far more capable than myself. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. You've gained a subscriber. Cheers to you! :)

Great video. Thank you

I bought these blades amd was afraid to use them ...i finally did onna cheap acos

Very helpful, thank you. I wondered if I was doing this right and am highly allergic to dust. With a dust mask and microfiber cloth, this should be a great solution.

Graphite in the slot is a much better lubricant than Vaseline

Does this really work? I don't understand why. Hows the physics work?

My les paul keep unwinding the high E string from the ball end in the little hole where it goes through on the stopbar. I can't tune it to pitch because the moment i do a bend the string just unwinds a little bit and goes out of tune. After that it just goes to hell. Can't be retuned without it slowly unwinding. Any help?

I use a screw driver with a rubber on end or electrical tape. Worked for the last 50 years :)

The string length is a factor in the ease of stretching it as you do when fretting a note. It this case string length is not the scale length but physical termination point unless string angle is very steep at the bridge or nut. I consider 15 degrees to be quite steep.

There is no tension change after a tune to pitch. Each string gauge requires a given tension for a given note. The angle of the string to the stop-tail affects the string Stretching.

I have a LP Special that has a low cut on the nut slot for the high E string. Sitar sound. It did not do this for the first year and a half. I wedged a tiny piece of foil to bring it up, and then it is good. The rest of the nut is cut perfectly, and there's not a whole lot of nut indentation where the high E is on it. I've seen people use super glue and baking soda to rebuild low nut slots and then re-cut them. I'm wondering if anybody can give me some advice if that actually works or what I should do instead. I guess my main question is how strong will the baking powder/ superglue mixture will be. If so, how long will it hold if I take this route. Any advice is awesome!

100% worked for me. It intuitively makes sense but I get the skepticism because this is such a bro-science-y realm of guitar maintenance.

StewMac sells a screwdriver specifically for this purposes. With it, you can adjust the tailpiece without having to loose tension or worry about ruining the tailpiece. I've had mine for 15+ years. Worth the investment.

Perfect. Thank you!

How do you widen the slots for thicker gauge strings? If the depth is fine to begin with?

I use a stewmac file set and micrometer. Go slow follow the angle of the head stock. Better to take a bit off then retry when tuned to pitch. . If you go too low, time for a new nut or the super glue baking soda trick (not a good trick) Good luck

1:24 turn the bridge around and then it’ll play like butter😊

You are doing this wrong.

I got a hss from eBay three wires not soldered had to take it to a guitar tech works great now but I won’t be buying that from eBay anymore got one from reverb it works great hsh

You have yourself created a confusion in measuring and have not given the exact length which you knew very well....

I tried this and cut too deep

Why do you use a saw instead of a file? The hole should be round or the string will pinch inside the slot.

What kind of amp is that please?

They put 90 degree locking on my black with red binding 338 and the shafts are too short. I barely have two windings on the E string!!! grumble grumble. I dont want locking. Boo and Hoo!!! CHINA!!!

This doesn't look right at all . Wraps defeat the object of a Locking tuner. I this is right no way would I buy these. I know you mean well but that looks a gnarly mess.

Would be nice to know what tuners and roller bridge you used. Great video.

Thanks!!!

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.
