'57 ash body two tone stratocasters

'Musicians' that take themselves too seriously, everyone that has this complex seem to be guitarists from my experience.

[quote name='OutSpoon' timestamp='1341509415' post='1720319'] Good - so we are all agreed then. Blocks it is! Now - I was thinking black blocks; but after seeing pearl blocks on a '77 recently I am more thinking pearl...hmmm... [/quote] Black without question for me, unless, your looking to change the pickguard too?

The one below is sometimes called a finger pull too, I never play with my thumb on bass so it was useless to me - got in the way on the rare occasion i'd try slap and pop. Reggae bass players like them .

Only problem is, as I was cleaning, lemon oiling and polishing the guitar last night I noticed the plastic capstan crumbling too!! Damn you plastic fatigue . Thanks for the links guys, i'm gonna pull trigger on some tuners today!

I couldn't find anything , I've taken them off and am browsing for a high quality set £369 is insaaaaane!!! I'm thinking £60 tops - the guitar is a 1973 Prudencio Saez Model 4

Neck pickup, fretless marleaux

Thanks! I've never heard of Sugru but i'll definitely look into it! I'll probably buy the Gotoh's/Schallers if the worst comes to the worst due to the quality of the guitar/sentimental value; will be a pity to lose the Spanish engravings and stuff though - it seems we've found a hole in the market . Thanks again!

I experienced this, and that's why a precision is the bass for me

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1339967265' post='1697077'] is the pin that the peg was on, solid? [/quote] Yeah it's in fantastic nick other than the white plastic oval pegs, I reckon the rest will disintegrate from age too!

My Dad's kindly given me his 40 year old Valencian Spanish Classical Guitar but the plastic was so brittle on the tuning heads that one's come apart in my hand! The tuning pegs are top quality so i'd rather replace the plastic head than the machines themselves. Can I buy replacements or put something together makeshift in the meantime? I've never played an acoustic instrument...

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1339670751' post='1692290'] yeh he does seem to have an "artistic license" as to when he does and doesnt play! [/quote] Harsh, he spent months learning that

Sadly I can't play Ibanez's because of the neck profile, i've got a loose tendon in my index finger it plays havoc with - I got the same problem with the SG2000 I had, small neck, shallow, narrow and flat (I think it's a D profile of sorts)
