    2015 Guild Starfire broken tuner replacement

    it has Grover Vintage 142’s on it and one is broken. Does anyone know what might be the closest fit “Lighweight Tuner” to replace them all with? I realize there probably isn’t a perfect replacement, but I don’t mind a few exposed old tuner screw holes.

    piezos?

    Well..., going from say an active bass with a preamp to maybe a preamp or amp sim pedal into the front of an amp(with its own preamp) is certainly common practice and there's nothing wrong with that kind of signal chain. A piezo buffer is generally installed in the instrument and buffers the...

    All-New Ampeg SCR-DI!

    Another VT comparison query; for me the VT tends to become more and more unnaturally "metallic" sounding as the drive knob increases. I'm curious if the Ampeg has a warmer more natural sounding overdrive?

    piezos?

    Proper piezo implementation is all about the the quality of the Buffer/Preamp. Piezo setups with non-existent or poor buffers is the reason they're not thought more highly of.

    Open Notes

    I'm liking the Wooden nut idea. I might make up an Ebony or Rosewood and see how it works out.

    Ampeg BA115 has no low end- how to debug?

    The BA115 use to come in 200watt and 600watt versions as well. Are you sure it wasn't one of those?

    FENDER 62 ORIGINALS, which are the desired ones?

    '62 originals and Flatwounds pair up beautifully, but if your going with Roundwounds I'd suggest the Geezer's or a pure vintage '63.

    I like covers but the off center pup cover is just a little wonky.

    Single/Dual/Phase wiring?

    I'm sure your correct. I'm probably just confusing everything. I've done Single/Dual/Series wiring and phase switches like on a Mustang guitar separately, and was hoping to combine them into a single switch. But I'm out of my depth knowledge wise here. I can do the work but I defer to y'all's...

    Single/Dual/Phase wiring?

    The dual setting for the humbucker would be parallel. And Parellel for the Phase reversed setting. I heard a Tele with a phase switch and it had a lot of that Bohemium Rhapsody vibe to it which is what prompted this project. I've sourced 4p3t mini toggles if that helps.
