Despite the post title's suggestion, the Wednesday kept its 24hrs in tact; no extension whatsoever. Only this guitar's scale length observes an extension (at the factory) - 26.5" Why do I bother with such guitars? Playing something slightly different opens up avenues for fresh ideas. We notice that working under pressure & out of out comfort zone always brings out out best.
Was at Beez's earlier today to get the volume pot replaced. It's like this guitar's pots are cursed, they always ended up dead at the year end. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it at other times of the year. Anyway, pots observe a finite life span so that was easily attended to. This guitar has always observed a non-standard tuning. I have since strung it up with a set of 11s & tuned it to C#. The action here is slightly higher to accommodate the thicker gauge but nothing excessive, the guitar remains very playable. I have messed with pickup height as well; the Dimebucker sits a little deeper in the cavity than its 59 counterpart, just 1mm difference but it makes the former likeable when distortion is concerned.
