I do not recall that one. Knowing this place, it’s sitting in a drawer somewhere and no one knows what it’s for…

“Mechanics lein”
You have the right to sell it after making a good faith effort to make them pay. I usually send an invoice with a sternly worded letter via certified mail with a return receipt. If they make no move to get it after that, it goes on the hanger and I sell for the repair bill.

Sometimes you just need to come to the conclusion that you’re screwed, and so free to get aggressive. Hard wet sanding with 800 grit and 10 minutes on the coarse buffing wheel. Blush is nearly gone and buddy is getting a glossy “upgrade”.

Usually when I get noise when I touch things that should be grounded, the jack is wired backward.
-
Does it come in something other than 190?
-
I would have to probe it and draw it out. I think you treat the center lugs as the “output”, but you’ll have to jumper some sections to get it to do what you want.
-
The datasheet at the bottom of the page here shows how the lugs are linked.

Bench is plywood. Carpet on top of that, cotton towel or old t-shirt on top of that which gets tossed when all sides are unsafe for nice Instruments.

Separate phone or line is the way to go.

…and this was the first time I needed a metal grinder to perform a neck reset…
-
Dang. All the old heads are leaving. I hope someone can take them on. They make some fantastic instruments
-
Here it is clamped up.
-
Thanks Doc. I did a variation on that. The block matches the slope of the brace, and I just pulled it forward and clamped. Needed a stron magnet for the tip, but it worked.
-
Loose braces: tap back, probe bracing, reglue, etc.
Loose wires in acoustic: gather them up with wire ties so you can’t hear them when you shake the guitar.
I just about pulled my hair out chasing a light rattle in an ES-175 just to find an extra pickup spring stuck to the under side of the neck pickup.
Basically tighten any Loose nut/bolt/screw that is Loose (banjos are the worst for this)
Truss rod improperly installed and sympathetically vibrating inside the neck regardless of tightness: replace or figure out a way to get some caulk in there
-
Are the gears worn out,or can you just replace the knobs?

This is a High Pass Filter. It calculates the range of high frequency signals that a filter passes through.

Is that control missing? Why do you need a schematic/wiring diagram if you have the guitar?
-
I think 200 is not possible without a lab environment, due to it sucking moisture out of the air once the container is open. Chemistry class was nearly 30 years ago, though…
-
This was the direction I was thinking, too

I was a web developer and this is pretty much it. It will depend on the platform, and some are more friendly to browser navigation than others. Opening everything in new tabs is a decent workaround.
