Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Haha! That's exactly right! Whenever I get my lift, I'll be using that thing like a whore lol!

Right on! Do you still do any soldering nowadays? I actually just got some new solder tips in the mail today. One of them is this interesting looking angled tip that I think should help me with extremely small pads. I'm trying to resolder the tiny pins on a micro USB port back onto a power distribution board so I'm hoping it'll to do the trick

That sounds like some decent welding skills. Better than mine at least. I only trust myself to weld some sort of paperweight haha

Get some steel and just keep making welds on the top until you learn to keep your puddle going. That's about as far as I can go. I can also do some gasless MIG welding if I needed to replace parts of the body. I'm not great at either, but I can do them to some extent. I have both a stick welder and a MIG welder - the kind with the flux-core wire.

I don't solder all that much these days. I no longer repair/modify my guitars or amps. If something breaks, even if I can fix it and have time to fix it, I just send it out. If I want a guitar with a certain tone, I'll just buy one. I definitely am not modifying amps or anything anymore. I'm trying to retire, so I've stopped doing some things. In theory, I've been retired since 2007. I just suck at retiring and keep starting new projects or agreeing to help people out.
