Well, there is actually just one guy here. Yes, thats me, Michael. I love guitars. I work with guitars for more than 30 years now, building from scratch, repairing, improving, tuning guitars.
What always strikes me is the ingeniuous simplicity of Fender-Style guitars. You can change parts easily, improve the quality and enhance the sound quality, with very little effort. When I first had to fix a loose neck (screw holes where stripped), I wanted it to do it right, so I wont have to do it again in a couple of years. Other companies mount their guitar necks with bolts and inserts for many years now, I thought this would be a good idea for my strat copy as well. So I used the exact inserts that you see on this page for the first time and never regretted it! You can call this BS, but I feel that the sustain has improved, the tone is stronger and more defined. It does not turn a strat into a Les Paul, but thats not the point. You just get the best sound out of bolt-on construction, with strong attack and best sustain, still that clarity and brilliance but with a full bodied tone, just like you want it. Try it with a well build but affordable copy, you will be surprised, I guarantee!
I have used this kit many times since then, and so have many other luthiers and guitar fans since then. So that’s, all, just a guitar guy here, just like you. If you want to get in contact with me, please don’t hesitate! You find the contact below. Thanks for checking in!
