    I think the Goldo's slightly similar to the WD tremsetter, except it's way easier to adjust...

    Which reminds me, I recall seeing a Youtube of some guy "reviewing" (read: slagging) the Goldo,
    and there IS slight click when the adjustment screw returns to its place...

    A small piece of felt oughta take care of it.

                      Cool, you should be fine. I'm using 37s in my recessed Strats. I spoke briefly to Adam via email, he said measure just to be sure, but A) you don't have the body yet and B ) the body you ordered -with the exception of it being Mahogany sounds like pretty the same specs as mine...

                      Btw, I'm putting Graph Tech saddles on my Charvel rebuild, too...

                              Personally, of course not - we haven't heard your stuff yet, that would be rediculous.

                              That's not a rule of thumb statement so much as a guideline and a generality. And with only a hundred posts you haven't really shared much as the others have who've been here almost ten years between this board and a few others.

                              If I bag on the others, its because they we're familiar with each other and a few have no excuse. They're old, they know better, or could do better.

                              Jay can play a little and Im sure DiamondJimi enjoys playing if he has so many heads and cabinets, certainly he spends a little air time with the instrument even if there arent any strings on it and a Van Halen CD is playing...

                                Is that your version of a back-handed compliment? Too little too late.

                                And the list of peeps around here who can likely play circles around you is way longer than that.
