Finally got myself a new camera – Canon SX200 IS. Hopefully my closeup shots won’t look as bad as they used to be 
I took few quick pix to see how it performs in macro mode.

Today I’ll try to explain how to work with the shielded teflon wire. Below is the step by step guide with photos. Click on a photo to see more details.
Note: don’t try to do this with PVC insulated wire as it’s likely that you’ll melt the insulation and short the shield with the center conductor.
This could be useful for those of you who have Edge (Pro) equipped Ibanez. The idea of replaceable washers is nice because any material will wear out after some time, so why not make it replaceable. The only problem is that they can hold tight for two weeks before wearing enough that the trem arm doesn’t stay in place any more.
In a typical tremolo equipped guitar we have a couple of springs that are stretched between the bridge and the body. When you hit the strings bridge and body resonate and cause the springs to resonate too. Pickups are not that far from the springs at all. In most guitars there’s no more than half an inch of wood between them and wood doesn’t do anything to prevent the pickups from picking up vibrations from the springs.
I finally moved all (or close to all) things from my old site to WordPress. If you need something on the old site you can use this link http://diy-fever.com/old.
