How to Clean Rosewood Fingerboards Video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4l33MSIkdzYlsY.htmlsi=OZOWNb2RndHba7Vk

In 2002 a friend of mine who ran a second hand shop bought a pallet load of Squier Stratocaster Bullets from a liquidation sale but there was one of the Stagemaster Deluxe in black, HSH configuration in with the Bullets, the build quality was much better than the Bullet, I fret levelled and set up the Bullets and the Stage master, as well as paying me my friend gave me a Bullet and the Stagemaster, I sold them straight away as I had far too many guitars, I wish I had kept them now just for their history. I used to also call fretboards fingerboards until I was corrected by my girlfriends sister who taught music history, fingerboards are for non fretted instruments like violin, cello and the like

I love hearing stories like that, the time before youtube was more wholesome 👌 you live and learn unfortunately, I've sold so many guitars I wish I kept. Always fingerboards to me, it's where your fingers go 🤣

Looks really nice, never really looked at these before in any detail. I like the basic stripped back loom without a pickguard.

Thank you!

That is a very interesting guitar :) What a steal with that Dimarzio :) I'd be tempted to practice my filling skills on some of those dings and repaint.

@@theguitarmanifesto You're very welcome bro! Looking forward to seeing the others!

Looks good Robby, that was a great score as you say with the DIMarzio pickup. The black metallic is a nice color. Give you credit you find a lot of great deals.

Yeah these Showmasters don't seem to be well documented on KZread, now watch the prices creep up 🤣🤣

I have a showmaster series mb-4 bass in pewter metallic, made in korea 2001...pretty much an ibanez soundgear copy, the headstock shape is better looking than an ibanez though

On mine, with standard pick ups, when bridge and middle are on together the bridge seems to be switched tlo single coil.

Tap the poles with something metal on the humbucker to check if both sides are working, I'll have to check mine now 🤣

Just check mine both sides working on middle/bridge. Seems a strange one? Nice score for £30 👌

Does the reverse headstock gives a different kind of tensional for all strings compared to the usual one?

@theguitarmanifesto

Ай бұрын

Makes no difference it's still strung the same just in reverse, if that makes sense?

@@theguitarmanifesto true. How about when tune the strings, looks like the reverse design is lot easier to access when tuning while standing....

For some reason the tuning pegs seem to be a lot closer together making it more difficult to turn the tuners
