Hiya! Hmmm...the bridge on Fly's is machined aluminium (I believe)..aluminium is quite soft.. where I'm heading is re-cutting the thread might be more trouble than it's worth, plus I reckon you'd end up having to enlarge the hole a bit and etc etc... The bridges themselves are pretty hard to find, a...

Yeah I've never heard of this either, have the same saddles and haven't had it occur... it might be that raising the action is the only viable solution. I had the string getting caught under the pickup problem for many years after I bought the guitar, ended up modifying my pick hand technique slight...

Well a basic maintenance kit is just pliers and feeler gauges really, and yeah the automotive cheap ones work just fine. And a capo for the first fret string hold down. I usually don't even use feelers these days, you can eyeball/feel the neck relief close enough. But if you've got sudden fret buzz,...

Body/neck material, tuners, nut etc are negligible compared to to pups/electronics when it comes to the basic tonal characteristics of a solid body.

There, I said it.

Hey vjmanzo !... my new found Dusty Black brother of twang!! Yeah, that was the thread i found, but buggered if I can find a Dusty Black example according to paint code on that chart anywhere, I've Googled and Shmoogled.. if anyone can find it be much obliged! Marvin ..is ..a ..legend... He sold me ...

Hi folks! I was fortunate to have been offered a 2001 pre-refined deluxe I worked on a year or so ago for a fair price over the weekend, so I grabbed it!! It’s in fantastic condition, except for one smallish ding that could use repair of some sort. The finish is what I’d call Dusty Black, but when I...

Yeah wow, there's an undertaking! Fair enough though, i'd go with one at a time too. I don't recall which video it is, but one of them mentions tapping the frets with like the back of a small spanner or something(?) ... something metallic with a bit of weight, and doing a listening test, frets that ...

@Fly Rod , loving that syringe/spring job!

Re: gluing those ball bearing saddles... I have no personal experience, however I do recall a thread somewhere (possibly from the old forum) with regard to these. Basically, the poster had tried to glue the ball bearings back in with a little super glue, but used too much and glue had got under the ...

Only real solution is to wear your guitar a bit higher, or a bit lower.

I went with a bit higher. Makes playing a bit easier TBH..

Oh so THAT'S where my '94 Galaxy Grey hardtail got to.....






Congrats on a fantastic guitar, may your solos be forever raucous and extended!

Do you know if the EP1111 can be wired like the original selector? It looks identical to the original on the guitar. I'm wondering if it uses a different logic for the connections. Has anyone tried an EP1111 on a prerefined Fly? Yes, that switch is a direct replacement for the original. There are a...

Yeah I'm with @Barry, could well be corrosion. Use the spay in the switch, go easy though. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record...the ribbon cable connectors! Unplug the ribbon cables from the board and give the ends a clean, use the spray on a cotton bud. Clean the connectors as well. M...

Hi folks, Cpl of quickies... Treble bleed: as far as i know, table bleed circuits aren't required on active guitars, ie guitars with pre/buffer-amp etc like the Fly. Theres undoubtably some complex electrical theory behind this, but I don't know it Pickup height adjustment: as noted in posts above, ...

.... Removing the white cable connector from the board really requires a specialised tool that will heat all the pins/solder at the same time.

Otherwise you could heat bits and slowly prise it off, but i wouldn't recommend that approach.

Why do you want to get the cable connector off?

I think you might be on the right track, but reading the switch diagram wrong. Maybe the resolution of your printer has made a few connections where there are none, the top row and bottom of the switch do not connect, they are electrically isolated. These switches work/connect like below, where the ...
