Thanks Marc. I have a spare 10 spring so I’ll stick it in there and see if it handles. Might do the trick.
In 3 weeks when I’m back!

Yes, more of a creak. Sounds like an old door!
Allright, I'll do a deep dive when I'm back from a trip I'm taking. I'll be consulting with my local engineer on the lubricant. We have pretty much anything I'd want on hand. It's time I'm short of! I'll report back!

Thanks Marc!

Any lube points pointers?

Is it the bar bushing squeaking whenever the bar is rotated, or is the squeak occurring under different circumstances?

Bend up or down. Not rotation.

The guitar stand I use - same as yours - came with a pair of spacers to make the neck opening smaller - as if to fit a banjo. It is small enough to hold my Fly in place without bullwinkle. The tuner rests on the grip and holds the guitar up. I'll put up a photo when I get a chance.

I immediately thought "ripoff" but very soon realized this was a work of love, not thievery, and credit was given where it is due.

Beautiful instruments.

Now to that summing board under the bridge...

Yeah. I'm somewhat surprised you di...

Easy with that ... easily broken!

I don't have a P 38 but based on past piezo experience, I would check the soldering of the Piezo element to the summing plate. In my limited experience, this could be where the problem could be coming from. The other points to check are the soldering point at each saddle.

Well, I guess it happened. :shock: After thinking about it for a long time (and even posting about it here a while ago), being too lazy to make a two day trip to the closest shops stocking the brand for testing, and finding absolutely none whatsoever on the used market in my city or area, I ordered...

Here's some awesome disinfornation:
Notice the broken nut, incorrect date and ridiculous price.

Speechless!!!!!
Congratulations does not seem to be enough. But then, I AM speechless!
Wow!

Your jack is probably recessed too far into the guitar. The collar has to be screwed in a bit to allow the jack to travel all the way in. Open the backplate to prevent the jack from rotating and ripping the ribbon cable as you tighten the collar. As needed, adjust the nut inside to ensure proper pos...
