• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Something NEW?? (PICS)

Lil-Junior . . (the sequel). Something NEW?? (PICS)

Hey folks, I'm trying to get these guitars in tune, and doing quite well. Something else that I forgot to tell about I have messed with abit. Don't be surprised if you see any or all of these simple doo-dads available. (I'd love to get a consensus here as to whether or not you like the idea(s).

ONE: This is a plug made from brass, threaded, and slotted. It is 3/16" thick. . .

TWO: You can screw it down into the anchor bushing a measured-amount . . .

THREE: This is a TONE-PROS "top-lock stud which I drilled and tapped on the bottom end as many Floyd-studs, etc.

FOUR: Screw in the brass plug to the depth you want, and tighten the set-screw. THE THREADS ARE TIGHT IN THE ANCHOR

FIVE: It's a tight lock on this Melody Maker!

OF COURSE: It goes without saying that this little brass "plumber's plug" . . that's what it looks like) works real well with ANY original tailpiece stud (in case you don't want any aftermarket stuff, such as Tone-Pros, etc. I happen to love what Tone-Pros has done for "coupling," as they say to transmit tone. Why wouldn't we want to "couple"? Just kidding).

It's a simple little piece, but if you could buy a pair would you?

thanks, dan

Dan, if you ever want to copy a thread to here, just give any of the mods or Lily a holler. It's only a couple keystrokes for us. :)
