Great!

Thanks, Mark. I'll be extra careful.

It's a kind of a beater, so I would like to not do anything to it, but someone enlarged the edges of the tuner cavity, I guess for the replacement individual Kl ...

Any words or cautions on removing the fretboard before refinishing? It doesnâ€™t look all that thin, but I would hate to bend it. Thin putty knife all around under the edges and then pry carefull ...

On my Deluxe (and my D8 and T8 ) the tuners are 4 on a strip, and they don't come apart. You probably have some kind of repaired thing going on there. The strip tuners are available again from Kluso ...

Ah. Thanks

I discovered that one of the screws holding the nut on a recently acquired Fender Deluxe was broken off, and I had to remove the tuner pan to come at it. Who knew the tuning machines would come apart ...

Thanks again, all yâ€™all, for your help. I replaced all three pots, tone cap, and output jack. Iâ€™m pleased to report everything works, and the pickup that had been cutting out seems to be ...

Yow! All of those look great!

Possibly related: why is the V chord in a minor scale a major chord?

The naturally occurring V chord in the minor scale is a minor chord. We use the dominant seventh type chord, like we do in the m ...

Also in a major scale the Dom7 technically only exists on
the V chord, where it is a note in the root major scale.

The Dom7 is not in the V chord, which is a triad consisting
of a Root, Third a ...

Stylistically, the M7 chord is the standard I and IV chord in mainstream jazz, beginning the 1950's and its sound is not used much in country, (or swing, or rock). Too sweet. The opening chord of The ...

This is great, Leon. His playing is fluid and free, while at the same time tight and in-the-pocket with the rhythm section. And the tone is clean and present, while at the same time warm and sweet. An ...
