Re: pickup covers...do i need one? (4 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
i would proceed with caution,unprotected by not having a cover might invite humidity or spilling a beverage on the copper coil,you could spray paint the cover with a flat black or gloss depending on the finish of the other two just take it off put it on some newspaper and spray it and allow it to dry who knows it might work out ok good luck

Re: Guitar GOD?? (23 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
that little "L" thing is called a tremelo bar and if you push dowm on it the whole guitar lowers in pitch,by pushing down and pulling it up several times it creates a tremelo effect if its to stiff remove the plastic plate in back and take the middle spring off you might have to adjust the truss rod
