    Truss rod snapped......want to cry.

    As the title says, it just snapped without touching it? Or did it break while turning it?

    anyone know if VM squier saddle screws are like American standard

    No, they're not interchangeable. VM grub screws are m3 thread. Replace the whole saddle.

    Truss rod snapped......want to cry.

    For the truss rod voodoo people, proper steel bolts(which a truss rod is essentially), should be able to withstand much more torque than you can turn with your hands. Screws are designed to stretch when tightened. The nut has to stop turning and give you feedback, well before snapping. If it...

    The Beauty of the Neck Shim

    Things change. Accept it. We don't speak Ye Olde English anymore either. We're not discussing linguistics here. Incorrect spelling/grammar or not, people understood what was being said.

    How long does your bass stay in tune?

    Road Rage Incident

    Some people don't even know there is a blind spot. But those people don't even bother using their mirrors anyway... Once I was out of town for work, and when I was ready to come back home, I found my car with a flat rear tire. My spare was also flat, so I had to drive my car to the nearest tire...

    Calling out BS?

    Even if there is a "deception" of some sort on our perception, it's applied evenly. That's the point of double blind test. It's constant, so how could you say there is a bias, when you don't even know what you're being biased against? Just because you don't see the results you'd like to see...

    Be wary of this ebay seller...

    What injustice! LOL. I'm scared to know how vengeful these people might get, if they actually LOST cash on a transaction.

    Digital 3D printer Nuts

    Seems like a lot of effort for no real benefit, when there are cheaper alternatives already available. It would be nearly impossible to have a pre-molded nut with perfect slot heights, which was the whole point to begin with.
