    Is this a stupid idea or a brilliant one?

    Fill Pickup Route?

    I don't remember, unfortunately. I'm not even sure if I painted that body. I can say that my buddy did something similar with a guitar of his...

    Real Gauge of Bass Strings - real gauge vs advertised gauge

    I think that's just some careless notation. It shouldn't be +/-.005", but rather that they round to .005" (so the tolerance is actually closer to...

    String tension and a note's attack and harmonic overtones

    Set Length and Number of Songs
