    Jackson American Series

    Looks like this is at least part of the issue. The pilot holes are probably problematic, too.

    Only with the 18 volt mod, though.

    Where Can I Find a Trem Cavity Cover for a Jackson Soloist?

    To follow up in case it helps someone else, Dave at Frets on the Net had the part in stock. I did look for Sharp Concepts, too, and found several businesses with that name, but didn’t see any related to guitar.

    Where Can I Find a Trem Cavity Cover for a Jackson Soloist?

    I could be wrong, I was just going by what Fender said as I don’t have authorized repair center nearby, but I guess I could check by phone and order by mail if they can get the part.

    Where Can I Find a Trem Cavity Cover for a Jackson Soloist?

    Like @Aeolian mentioned, Fender sells parts for Fender, Charvel, EVH, Gretsch, Squier, etc. but not for Jackson for some reason. :shrug: I just bought the guitar used (sorry, no NGD thread) and don’t know the model year. The seller said it is a 2001, but the serial number puts it somewhere...

    Where Can I Find a Trem Cavity Cover for a Jackson Soloist?

    Anyone know where I can find a brushed black anodized aluminum trem cavity cover for a Jackson USA Select SL2H Soloist (the standard factory cover)? I’ve contacted Jackson/Fender and they’ve put me in contact with someone who can make a replacement for me, but I need to get the measurements for...

    The Les Paul thread

    Yeah, it’s a P90 with bar pole pieces rather than adjustable screws. They sound like a slightly brighter, more articulate P90 which is probably why you tend to see them in the neck position.

    14 string acoustic

    Ask over at the Acoustic Guitar Forum Custom Shop subforum. There are plenty of luthiers there that can advise/build what you’re looking for, though it may not be cheap (potentially five figures).

    While I am generally an ebony fan, and prefer it over rosewood, I would prefer that one with an oil finished maple board and neck. It would fit the body color better.

    Mesa Rectifiers and Boost/Overdrive Dependency

    Rectifiers are very dynamically responsive amps, so different guitars sound like different guitars. This is as it should be IMO, and is one of the things I like about them. Something like a 5150 is extremely compressed and tends to make everything sound similar. It’s a very different response...

    Rickenbacker has been making neck through solid body guitars since 1956. I don’t know if there are any earlier examples, but we’ve had neck throughs for at least 68 years at this point (damn, I thought I was old :lol:). It’s not so much practice, it’s more learning to angle your hand...

    Tremolo deadlock - how to lock a trem in style

    They used to have a rubber washer that would apply enough pressure to that screw to keep it from vibrating off when loose, but would compress enough to allow it to tighten and lock in place when you screwed it down. They don’t come with that rubber washer any more?

    Why do people record the mic touching the cab mesh??

    Technically, we mount condenser mics in shock mounts because they are very sensitive and can pick up vibrations transmitted through the mic stand without a shock mount. Dynamic mics, including ribbons, are far less sensitive and can get away without a shock mount, and even being hand held. As...

    Floyd Rose question -- returning flat or sharp

    That sounds like the springs may be getting hung on something when diving keeping it from coming back all the way in tune, but getting freed up once you pull up. Look in the spring cavity while diving the trem and make sure everything (the base plate, the block, the springs) is free to move...
