So Anyway...

I actually ordered printable decal paper. Now I need a graphic program. Can anyone suggest a free one or help mw with a sketch?
Inkscape is a popular free one on some of the amp forums.

There is some learning curve involved. I didnt dive deep into it only because I am familiar and have access to AutoCAD.
 
So anyway, I was wrong laboring under a false impression. I did some reading that made me give my builds a closer listen. There was indeed some rattle on the high E and less so on the B string without a string tree. I have added one for those strings. I could not detect any rattle on the G string , so I did not install a second


My 2 Godin Strats come with trees on DG BE and my Custom Tele has them on DG BE also.

I avoid string trees at all costs. With vintage or staggered tuners, they are not needed.

In many cases, probably most, perceived buzz or "rattle" is caused when the string has less than 2/3rds contact with the nut floor. The string tree will force the string into floor contact, but adds tension and can cause failures to return to pitch on bends, or when using the tremolo.

Check your nut floor and be sure you have at least 2/3rds contact. If you do, I suggest raising the string tree with a tiny aluminum tube spacer - like those found at Home Depot - to mimic the angle of the other strings....
 
MY Favorite breakfast at my mom n pop breakfast/lunch restaurant in my little home town. Only thing missing is Texas Pete Hot sauce, Strawberry Jelly and Coffee in your pic, Mitch.
Coffee was just about noonish, in the outside of the pic..
One of my favorites as well Mark, but I did season the pork chop with some chili powder,and onions..
 
Just found out earlier this morning my dad passed.
Havent seen him since my kids were little (at our house in NJ, they are both in their late 20's now), as he lived in Colorado.

We were on good terms and spoke fairly regularly by phone.
He was 80 and healthy and I was planning to see him this year, with the the idea I dont know how much time.....
Too late.

I am very sorry for you loss. There is never enough time. Good terms and regular communications is more than many have. May his memory be a blessing.

You have my most sincere condolences in the passing of your father. May he R.I.P.

Wow, so sorry to hear this. It must be tough to lose a parent. I have not had to deal with that yet, but my mom turns 80 this year. Schedules and distance make it hard to visit. I'm glad you communicated often.

My sincere condolences...
