Small luthier tip. Occasionally with a stripped screw, if I think I can do it and not mess anything up around it, I’ll take my dremel tool with a metal cut off wheel and cut a groove that a flathead screwdriver will fit and use that to get the screw out and then replace the screw.

Your idea works well if it didn’t break flush with the wood tho. A more careful way of doing it is to use a file with an edge.
@PapiPoireau4 жыл бұрын
A good tip I learned a while ago and that works surprisingly well is to put a piece of flat rubber band between the screwdriver and the head! Just need to use a screwdriver a size smaller but the rubber fills and grips well on the stripped head notches. Pain free and super cheap! But yeah, when it's hopeless, dremel works every time!

2 easy drill free fixes: One, you could loosely stuff the hole with the cotton from a Q-tip and the screw will now bite again. Or two you can take a toothpick smaller than the diameter of the hole, snap a piece off inside the hole, and then reinsert the screw. Adding a little wood glue to either option makes it a more permanent fix.

I really wanted the Epiphone 1984 but when I finally had enough to go get one,they were long gone from everywhere. I even let Sweetwater know to notify me when they would come back in stock to no avail before they were discontinued. It sucks because I never even got the chance to see one in person like I really wanted to but it gives me hope that the new prophecy series will be released soon. I'm not that big into Fishman but I'd kill for an explorer with active pickups and the ones that Anderton's teased,damn....

I absolutely agree with what you said about Ali express stuff. Had to get a bass replacement neck for my Squier Precision a while back and found this really good looking bound 24 fret neck with block inlays for only 60-ish bucks including shipping! When I got it though, it turned out that the neck was as long as the fretboard, instead of the fretboard just having an overhang, which of course threw the scale length and intonation of completely. This means that my broke ass needs to rout out and reshape the neck pocket to make the intonation work until I've saved up enough money to buy a proper bass. Fun times...

Middle finger inlays, hockey stick headstock, rosewood fingerboard, 81/85s, Eet Frik decal. Def was worth it. Besides the jack (which is really cheap tbh..), it’s definitely a kick-ass guitar.
