Too much advertisement for a particular guitar shop

I would use another example of neck reset scenario instead of the "advertisement" of that guitar maker school in the middle of the DVD...
Besides this, it is an excellent tutorial which demystify the holy grail of neck reset

used on a couple of cbg

These worked really well on a few cigar box guitars I made. They installed nice and tight in the 1"x2" popular thru the body neck. Used many other stew mac parts as well.

fixed my gibby

I have used this switch on new builds and my latest install was on my gibson les paul special. It was a direct replacement for the factory installed one that had trouble switching in and out of the neck pickup.

sg wiring

I purchased this wiring for my epiphone special model which is like the cheapest model of epiphone. It originally had one volume control and one tone control and the pickup selector switch.So i had to cut out the body of the guitar to make room for the four pots and bigger switch that came with the kit. Most people would probable buy this kit for a guitar that had similar wiring to begin with so most wont have to cut out the guitar body like i did. I found the instruction easy to follow tho i have experience with wiring diagrams and a lot of soldering experience. I only took me a couple hours from start to finish. And I'm very happy with the sound . I wired it the alternate way that came with the instructions so i can control the volume of the pickups independently when the switch is in the middle position. I made the plate out of hardboard and aluminum tape but will soon make a plate of the same pattern out of polished sheet aluminum.

Neck Relief Gauge

I bought one recently. It is great. It made my head spin like Linda Blair's! I can tell in a second how much relief I have, or need. I took it into a friends shop. I came back from playing some guitars and these guys had my neck relief gauge out and were using it to set up guitars. Everyone should have this tool...It will save you time and make you money. The Scientific Setup. As a scientist, I love it!

A great little pickup for the money. I have it in several guitars and mandolins. Good live and recorded sound.

Good Buy!

I bought these as a replacement for an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. One of the original tuners wore out, and would no longer stay in tune at all. The Gotoh replacements were wonderful to install. Popped out the old grommets, pressed in new, and using the supplied screws, tightened down the new keys in just minutes. These keys are tight, perfect fit, and beautiful. Great job StewMac!!

useful tool

Does exactly what it's for -- lets you smooth fret ends without damaging wood. Works perfectly.

A Tool completely useless

A Tool completely useless, difficult to use, poorly built. I prefer the traditional method.

It's hard to describe what the 5423 will do, but I'll try. It will make your SOUL say YESSSSSSS.

Cure for many problems

I have an old Japanese plywood Valencia bodied thin archtop (similar looking to a Gibson ES-330). Long ago I mounted Gibson humbucking pickups to it. It was muck better but still had the cheap sound. I bought the Metal Humbucker Mounting Rings For Arched Bodies and what a difference! Tone, sustaine, an actual voice of it's own! After 43 years this guitar is really nice. Thanks Stewmac for a great product.

The Perfect Match!

Absolutely the perfect match for your Junior. Perfect intonation, low string height. I've tried most of the others, this is worth the $90 bucks!
Be sure to get the Tone Pros studs,they will eliminate any lean with whatever bridge you use.

a screw is just a screw

Went to more than 10 hardware/wood project stores and could not find proper size screws for p bass pick up install. Nothing special about the screws from stew'mac but what is special is their fantastic customer service. I've only used them twice but dealing w/their customer service reps has been a pleasure both times and received my shipment the next day both times(maybe because i live within 100 miles of their location?) Keep up the great work stew-mac!!!

Huge Improvement

I put this bridge on a used Chinese Epiphone Les Paul Studio model guitar. I could hear the difference in tone immediately, even before turning the amp on. The tone has brightened and the sustain greatly improved. Through the amp, it sounds like a different instrument, with a more focused sound, more like its American ancestor. Big benefit from a small investment. Highly recommended!

Needs better switch

The pots are good quality and their is ample wire to do the job. But the five way switch is poor quality. Real poor contacts that get loose with normal use
Also the instructions were hard to follow since the orientation of the switch was backwards.
