Re: WTB: Hard Shell Case

This hiscox case is quite nice. Though, it is significantly thicker than any of the oem hardshells.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

I may attempt to drill, I would prefer to keep all of the wires out of the spring cavity. Though, if I do keep them in there, I’ll heat shrink them and keep it as tidy as possible.

The green lead mounted directly next to the gnd on the board is positive, correct?

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

After several weeks of our family being ravaged by the flu, I’m breaking ground :lol: Drilling a larger hole from the main cavity to spring cavity seems a little scary to me. Not exactly sure how I would even have the clearance to do so with a normal drill. Would it be crazy to do this instead: leav...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

If the Ghost ground wires could be soldered to a different common ground, it seems like it could be less work to piggy back off of the existing summing. That would remove need to expand the drilled passage way etc.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

Thank you for that.
Out of curiosity, why can’t we re-use that existing ‘summing board’ that you just showed?

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

I should now have some time to work on this project. Are the steps along these lines: 1. Remove old saddles 2. Drill larger channels in each saddle location so as to be able to route the Ghost’s connectors Edit: I reread previous response - need to enlarge channel betwixt spring & main cavity 3....

Re: Electronic issue

As I understand this, I will loosen the nut in the cavity, push the jack towards the cap, turn the cap clock-wise so as to thread the jack into the cap, then retighten the nut?

Re: Electronic issue

In regards to tightening the endcap with a paperclip — is that the function of the little hole here?

Re: Electronic issue

This is the transmitter that I have been using for about 2 years: https://a.co/d/h3iL6QN . Initially, I ordered three - kept two and gifted another. My first set lasted about 1.5 years, the backup (the one that was culprit in OP) was faulty from the start. The fix was to buy another one as I was wel...

Re: Electronic issue

The wireless system was the main culprit for the sound issue, however the output jack is definitely recessed too much. How does one adjust it? There is so little space and rotating the jack would rip the ribbon.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

@Gregsaab, I don’t know whether you intend to enlarge the pre-existing channel the piezo signal wire passes through from the spring cavity to the control cavity or drill in a different spot, but Graph Tech specifies a minimum 5/16” bit to give their connectors sufficient berth to be fed through. Pr...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe

I ordered 2 sets of the saddles. It is my preference to get this done on my own (with help from here!) Will I need to buy the ‘summing assembly’ or does it come with the set?

Is there a step-by-step guide for what I will need to do?
