my epi sst

Unread post by Dancing Ants » Fri Nov 14, 2003 1:58 pm

hi all. i have a nice epi chet from 1994, and I was wondering if it would be OK to remove the two tone and volume buttons from the top of it...if i did this, how would i control tone and volume? could someone else do it from a soundboard or whatever? I'm going to put Fishman Natural 1's in it...and i don't want the two knobs on top of it.

okay. does anyone who has a chet (gibson or epi) know how to remove the strings from the saddle? there's no soundhole, so you can't push them out...help, please?

(I used) a spoon to pop the pegs out and just pulled the string out of my old Chet...

of course, I always changed them before breaking them...

my advice, nobody is gonna see it :P

I have a string winder, which has a peg puller on it, so just buy one(they're .99 at GC or Sam ash) and you'll be able to just pull the pegs out easily.. plus you can tune up when changing strings faster..

Yea, they have a rounded hole near the end to pull pegs up with.. it's nice to have so you don't screw up either your bridge, or your pegs... :)

yeah, i do it with the string winder, but the problem with that is if you pull too hard, or try to "lever" it out you can end up getting a nice little dent in either your guitar or your knuckles.... otherwise thats the best way to get those little babies out

It took me three years to figure out my winder had the puller on it. :lol:

Yea, I just held onto mine for a while MWR, never really used it.. didn't know what it was really for for a while.. than when I started playing acoustic i used it to pry the pegs out.. I don't think you'd be able to excert enough force with a 1 dollar string winder to put a dent in anything.. the ones i'm talking about are plastic..
