Home Depot

Home Depot was founded in 1978 by Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus. They, along with Ken Langone and Pat Farrah, wanted to offer a one-stop shop for people who are do-it-yourself types. In 1979, Home Depot opened its first two retail stores, 60,000 square feet each, in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, Home Depot's growth has continued at a rapid pace.

As of 2008, Home Depot has approximately 2,000 stores, averaging over 100,000 square feet in size, and can be found in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam.

Home Depot is currently headquartered in Vinings, Georgia.

  I just got one of these. I got a conversion 24 3/4 because I have short stubby fingers. I gambled on 11/16 because that is what I found in the showcase - it is very thin but even wider than I expected. I am waiting on tuners before I mount it, so we will see. It seems very nice now, but I guess only playing will ...

  Looks great. I also would leave it natural but would definitely put on a pickguard.

• New tele body - concerns

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 175
  Ive attached a couple photos of the body. I believe it came from Ben @ Reddirt Guitars (hes an active member on the Reranch forum). I know that is probably tough to tell from these photos alone, but Im hoping someone could give me their opinion on this body (i.e. if its going to make a decent build). Any feedback ...

• split a extra wide fender humbucker?

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 175
  The problem with splitting a WRHB is that three of the screws on each coil are "under the cover" and make for a very weak, anemic sounding coil split. You may need to lower the exposed screws to match the covered ones. The re-issue WRHBs use bar magnets under the coils so its not too bad a mismatch when splitting, but ...

  I am a do-it-yourself home improvement project person. I enjoy getting my hands dirty performing home repairs and trying my hand at new projects that I have never attempted before. I don’t play video games to challenge myself; I learn to smooth stucco on a wall for a challenge. When I found out that the  Home Depot ...

• Mustang Neck

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 175
  You may be able to fit a Mustang neck on a Telecaster and get it to intonate, but the saddles will have to be moved quite a bit towards the neck. And from my experience, the saddles would probably be hitting the bridge pickup before they were intonated properly.

• Oak and/or Redwood Neck?

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 175
  Ive heard of people cutting the oak into 3 peices for a neck and spinning the middle peice around so its a 3 peice for strength, but you couled put rosewood in between the 3 peices. it should be strong enough but hopefully one of the more experianced guys drop there 2 cents in because they know way more than i do!

  I have someone inquiring about a tele baritone neck build. It needs to fit a standard body. What scale and how many frets do these normally have. I think if I know these specs I think I can work out the details. Thanks Joe

• This looks like a good jigsaw, but is it?

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 175
  If you can, go for a Makita, DeWalt, or Bosch (they will all last far longer than a B&D) and they can be had from many so called trade shops (screwfix, toolstation, CPC and such)
