take the other wing out and measure its thickness with a micrometer
you'll be surprised what there is lying about for your material
the slot looks about 2/3mm so a piece of dexion might do it it
if not go rummage in your neighbours shed♪♪
anyway best of luck and let us know how you get on

Re: Need help sourcing part (5 replies, posted in Guitars)
see what you mean..it seems like your best bet would be to contact fender support
and try them
for what its worth if it was me..i would remove the ' wing' from the other side and
make ( or get somebody to make ) a mirrored duplicate..i shouldn't think that would be
to much of a task for a diy'er

Re: Need help sourcing part (5 replies, posted in Guitars)
if you mean the bolt ..it looks like a 5 or 6mm slotted type which are probably
generic ( ie fender dont make them they just buy them in )
if they aren't the issue a pic would help

Re: Epiphone Les Paul custom chrome? (3 replies, posted in Guitars)
if you paid £500 for it ...put it on ebay for £350 with the offer option
if you get no takers ..keep dropping it £25
if was £1000new do the same only start it at £700...ie 70% if its new value
since its an epiphone its not going to be as sort after as much as a gibson
only you know what you paid for it
get it out there on ebay..trick is overprice it to start with and keep dropping

Re: Gibson heritage acoustic advice (2 replies, posted in Guitars)
for me the main issue would be the bridge raised at the back ( or dipping at the front )
this probably means there is not enough support for the gauge of string
that has been used on it...definitely don't put heavier gauge strings on it
and probably go a gauge lighter to give it a chance ( if the bridge is just lifting it needs re-gluing )
all the other issues seem superfluous and simple fixes that are not major
issues
DO NOT do any unnecessary mods..keep it as original as possible
ps if you want advice as whether to purchase it or not ..you need
a 3rd party ( luthier / experienced git person ) to inspect it at first hand
to make a proper assessment

There is already bamboo farmers in the Far East. In Japan especially it is not being harvested so having a detrimental effect on the environment. Bamboo is a grass and only takes a short time, less than one season to grow to maturity required for the industrial process. Steel production is one of the worst environmental industries but as it's made on a massive scale it is a cheap product. This is for my engineering degree project and we have to ask questions like this as this is what product and manufacturing in engineering are today all about, sustainability.
making guitar stands with bamboo will not solve economic problems
it should be processed into some bi product of unusual properties that will reap rewards
ps...bamboo could be made to replace plastic as naturally degradable packaging
NOW THERES A WINNER ♪♪
and dont forget where you heard it first

Re: Bamboo guitar stand (8 replies, posted in Everything Else)
cutting down bamboo can have a negative impact on the environment
guitar stand are important for most git players
steel (iron) is a benign substance and readily available ( 35% of the planet earth )
why start depriving nature ..esp. certain species of a square meal

Re: Boss RC30 (5 replies, posted in Effects)
after looking a the manual i dont think you can pan any signals
your best bet if you want to use a mic with this unit ( with reverb )
is to plug the mic into a rever pedal / device ..then into the boss ( the looped git would not then have any
reverb on it )
a better option would be to plug the mic straight into the pa mixer
and use the boss just for your looping ( unless you want vocs on the loop? )

Re: Boss RC30 (5 replies, posted in Effects)
if the tracks cant be panned theres no point in having a stereo output
the function might be on a sub menu...have a good look at the manual
the unit boasts true stereo operation
if your pa has a mixer make sure the L/R o/p's of the boss are panned centre
so you get GIT/MIC through both speakers ( PA )
if your going through one amp you can use the mono o/p of the boss
but all treatment to this signal will be common to the GIT/MIC
the mixer option is more versatile for sound manipulation
69 18-01-18 21:04:08
Re: Boss RC30 (5 replies, posted in Effects)
according to the spec it has 2 independent i/p channels and a left and right output
so you can pan the guitar to say the left o/p channel and the mic to the right o/p channel
so anything you do with the guitar will be separate from what you do with the mic
if you plug L/R into separate channels of the pa you can treat each signal separately ( assuming the pa has a mixer )
+ if theres no reverb on the PA or BOSS to treat the mic...use a reverb pedal in line with the mic pre RC30

Re: String for fingerstyle (2 replies, posted in Everything Else)
most people i know use 10's on electrics and 11's phosphor bronze
on acoustics...this is a good starting point but at the end of the day
its personal choice
i use rotosound yellows (10's) on one of my strats
but 9's on a second strat that has an evertune bridge tonally they are very similar
i think on a telecaster 10's would be a good choice for any stlye
a wire wound 3rd(018) will also help if your not doing much bending
it will thicken the sound and make tuning more stable
+ dont forget you amp/pedal setup will contribute a lot to what sort of
sound you're going to get
stringbusters is a great online place for every sort of string

Re: delay (3 replies, posted in Effects)
slap back echo is a repeat between say 50ms upto 800 ms with no feedback
the cheapest pedal you can find should give you this effect at least
but as always the only way is to get to your local git store and try these devices
the more expensive pedals will give you this + much more variations of echo/rebverb.. which might
be of much more use to you as you progress through phases of experimentation with effects
