    My R8 has stiff pots... Is it safe to lube them?

    Depends on what the problem is .... If you use "contact cleaner " use "Deoxit D5" work great . If the pot needs Lube ( If any of you have opened up a "new" CTS pot you will find a RED lube in there. So It is Lubed by the maker . This is a proprietary made lube and can not be bought . I tried...

At that point , take it to a known ,reputable Tech shop that does guitar mods of this type and work with them to get the...

    WoW great looking Axe. I can't understand why this hasn't moved . And , as difficult as it is to find a Lightweight LP that looks as good as this 1 does , it should have jumped to someone fast . Guys , imo these Ultra Lightweight LP's are worth every penny . Different then standard weighted...

    CC4 Sandy Aged Price VS Clapton Beano Burst VOS

    Can you test the Beano ? If not , can you test an R0 to give yourself an Idea of it's neck feeling in your hand ? If you can deal with the R0 neck and from what you've posted above , It appears you are somewhat a collector/player . Welcome to the club ..... IMO, even though the Beano's neck...
