Bought a bunch of parts earlier this year, and I am just now getting around to putting some guitar pedals together. Wrapping up a Klone. Going to try and get it assembled tonight. It's been a really fun experience putting it together. I also bought a NOTADUMBLE (v1 with the incorrect circuit, IYKYK) that I might put together with my son at some point. Also have parts for a BD-2 and Benson Preamp in the pipeline.

Pin-in-hole technology?

Lol a solder reflow oven would push my wife over the edge. Any other circuit technology you would recommend?

Surface mount. But the process of heating the board to melt the solder paste and get all the components placed in a timely manner by a machine would be cost prohibitive.

And soldering surface mount PCBs usually requires a special setup using hot air instead of a standard soldering iron.

I have populated countless PCBs back when I was in college and worked at my dad's company during breaks. I would just throw on an audiobook, space out, and just solder components on boards. It's so therapeutic.

I worked in Building 5 at IBM on Burnett Road in Austin. All surface mount boards. Made $6.65/hr on second shift. Limited to 77 hours per week as we got the PS2's ready for launch.

Good times.

I designed and made my own macassar ebony bridge from a blank I found at my local woodworking store. Designed and cut it out on a Shaper Origin (basically a handheld CNC machine). Still have some finish sanding, but the saddle slot fits the Graphtech Ghost piezos like a glove, the scale length seems to have been calculated correct and I think I have the saddle height correct. But I still have to actually put the lam top on, so who knows.

Warmoth products are a good place to start. Very high quality. Just waiting for sales.

DR strings for electric, 10-46

On sale today until they run out

I've never tried this brand. Any good?

I have stocked up on D'Addario XL's from all the previous sales and enjoy getting Player's Circle points. I probably won't try these.

When people ask me what musician/band you'd wanna see if I could go back in time….SRV is near the top of that list.

On that note….I'd be curious to hear what other folks' on here's lists would include!

It makes no sense to me how short Stevie was. To have hands that big at 5'6" is just mind-blowing.

I absolutely love the look of a painted or stained top and then an oil-finished matte back and neck. Last guitar I assembled was a Daphne Blue thinline '72 tele that I took that scheme with.

But lord knows Lilypad Burst looks like something I coughed out during my last sinus infection.

Edit: added reference link to what my paint job & finish looked like.

But damn... a Standard at $3,299?!?!

That's insane. I can buy a custom shop guitar for that much.

OW! I didn't even look at the price. Couldn't imagine paying that, but I know folks here do live in that price range. And I'm so happy that we get to see the results of the EB bringing these home

Good sale on the X-Vive U2 wireless. I've got this in black and it's very handy.

Totally different level than the last few awesome guitars, but this popped up for me earlier on Amazon prime day. $115 bucks. I forgot to share it earlier.

I guess my last question for Rufus was "give me a list of every Amazon part I need to build a tube amp" drove it to start showing me guitar stuff again.

This is a tough one for me. Freaking love green guitars and I think I could get a great deal on this one, but I've just not played a PRS that speaks to me: https://reverb.com/item/92227552-prs-dgt-2023-eriza-verde-10-top-david-grissom

But it's hard to pass by a beautiful green guitar...

I literally just sold my 60 Reissue LP, and shipping today. I could use the money to buy this guitar and still have a few hundred dollars left.

That is very tempting. This looks to be a fairly rare find...

It does say it's rare.
