How thick are the decals when applied? I want to use it on a guitar headstock and bought another brand that to me is a little too thick.

This is the paper that I use for headstocks, and it works very well. Just lay down 1 or 2 coats of clear first. The 4 or 5 (or more) clear coats that you apply on top of the decal will smooth out the edges, and the wet-sanding will make the edges invisible.

I feel the decals I made with the Bel Decal Waterslide Inkjet Paper Clear were not thick. Even with the clear coat sprayed on for protection.

The neck I received had a heel thicker than a standard fender neck. The width was ok, it was the thickness that was the problem. I had to thin mine down some to work with the bridge I wanted to use. It didn't end too well for me though. Your results may vary.

They are all pretty much the same thickness.... My guitar player isn't thrilled with the picks - says they shred in a short amount of time.. Have not tried the pearl-type material yet - hoping it's a little more durable. The machine itself is great! it's really heavy duty. Overall, it's a good buy for the buck. at the rate you can churn out picks, it doesn't really matter if you go through 30 micks in a night :)

Hi, I can't really say, except that they work perfectly on my Fender Jazz. Anything thicker could pose a problem.

This is not the best nut to use with a trem. I recommend using a graftteck nut or put graphite on the nut. note if you feel ambitious have a locking nut fitted on your guitar neck. best of luck.

I prefer nitro. This particular neck comes with a light coat of sealer, it is compatible with laquer. If you reshape the back, and I recommend it because it's a little too thick, you'll burn through it anyway. After you get the final shape sand it up to 320 grit but just scuff the fret board with Scotch-brite. Seal the whole thing with Behlens vinyl sealer then scuff it with 320. If you burn through the vinyl apply another coat. After that apply 2-3 very light coats of Behlens nitrocellulose lacqer to the fret board (frets and all) and 6-8 coats to the back and head-stock. If you want a colored finish you can add trans-tint dye to the lacquer to make it a toner. I prefer nitro. This particular neck comes with a light coat of sealer, it is compatible with laquer.

ive used them on many different 6 string guitars, and there is a super slinky for any tone/play style that you want. if you are more into metal, get the super slinky

I am not a professional guitarist but others have used it and find no difference from any other guitar in terms of volum or sturdiness. Use professional strings and it would sound really good.

You're not going to damage it. Those are standard strings. I use them with all of my guitars. Trust me, you're good. If you want to ask me some questions about getting started, post your email in a response and I will happily guide you through it.

No, these would not be suitable for a guitar. There is good information around the internet if you search for guitar decoration tips, or comparisons of permanent markers. Good luck!

I really don't know, I changed the strings as soon as I got the guitar, suggest you do same, choosing some strings and brands you favor

What I did was I lined it up with the studs, I used black sheetrock screws went into the studs, and in some instances you couldn't tighten the hook so it was straight so I left it a 1/4 turn loose. No biggie it still holds the guitar, I also noticed when you tighten them by hand you can't get it perfect, but after you screw them in the studs you can get a bit more out of them, what I did was I screwed them to a scrap piece of 2x4, tighted them up to see if it wold line up then unsrewed them, and screwed them to my wall. I also noticed , you need to have the top screw hole 7.5 inches from the ceiling minimum, or you wont be able to hook like a bass on it.

I really like the EXP 17's which are the same string as the 16 but in a medium gauge. The heavier gauge takes a little getting used to, and they are not recommended for all guitars (check with the manufacturer), but the increase in volume and authority of my sound I feel is well worth it. Btw- I just tried a set EXP19's and they are basically medium gauge tops with lights on the bottom. Not a bad idea really. A little easier on the fingers. By all means stick with the phosphor bronze for a mellow tone.

I've heard that as well. I typically only put it on my guitar while I intend to be playing the guitar. When I'm finished and I hang it up, I take the tuner off just in case. So far, I've had no problems. Also, the part that clips to the guitar has a soft padding, so I don't know why it would take off any finish. It hasn't hurt the finish on my guitar so far. (I have a black gloss colored BC Rich Rave II.)

1/4 of an inch maybe abit thicker i was really happy with this product, only thing i can confirm is how good is the glue is because i haven't used them that long but even if the glue was bad i would invest on glue becase these look heavy duty

whether or not it is okay on a satin finished guitar is not detailed or specified on the kits packaging or individual bottles themselves. I would contact the manufacturer in hopes they can provide you with accurate information. All my guitars have a shiny finish. Sorry. =/

I would recommend Elixir strings for any acoustic guitar. They're a little more expensive but are well worth it. They do last longer, play a little easier and reduce string talk in a way no other string I've tried comes close.
