pressure Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Here is an image I poster 2 years ago. This is the oil I use (F-One Oil) with a good quality cloth. That 2 fluid ounce bottle is probably enough for 100 years of fretboards no mater how many guitars you have (thats right I'm talking about you Mr. Brentley). Like Mr. Miyagi says "wipe on, wipe off".

Gianluca Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 spent some time adjusting PUs height what a tone, I love it I hope to upgrade to VIP pots and Tiger caps in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 When you get around to buying pots, this might be handy to have. Its the coding system that CTS uses on their pots. CTS 450G.pdf I went with 30% tapers with 10% tolerance, but I measured each one before I put them in and chose ones withing 1% of 500K. I can't say that it made it sound any better, but I like the smoothness of the taper better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you TalismanRich, I downloaded the pdf and will read it I thought the pots to be the VIPs that rockabilly69 linked in some prev comment but surely I'd better understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyv4 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 You have tried a lot of adjustments. I am wondering if the previous owner flied the nut to fit heavier gauge strings which could cause fret buzzing. You may want to have the guitar setup by a qualified luthier .
