While cleanin her up I opened the electronics back plate and found that metal can. I took the nut off--but she doesnt seem to want to move and I wasnt about to force it--does the whole assembly have to come out to access it(IE: do you have to remove all the volume and tone pot nuts and pull the whole deal out?). Never seen that in aguitar before--but it probably makes for a •••• of a shield. Any info would be appreciated. Man--this guitar rips!!!   Agr Username: Agr Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, November 24, 2007 - 10:45 am:    Paul, welcome on board. I've removed these cans before...but not on a regular basis. From what I remember, they were a press fit and you really had to work them out of there. You just remove the nut and slowly work it off. Try not to pry as this can dent the metal or wood. It probably has never been removed...the first time is always the toughest. And by the way...you would be correct on the shielding...these guitars are VERY quiet. Congats on the new axe. That fire red color is something I've wanted to add to my stable for some time now. Let me know if you ever want to sell   Pauldogx Username: Pauldogx Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 12:53 am:    Thanks Agr--yeah I found a picture of the can with the top off---so thanks for the info. Yeah --I'm just gonna have to work it for a while---it dont wanna budge!!!! Probably hasnt been off in 23 years!!!LOL   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 12:38 pm:    Paul, as Agr said, it is a very snug fit, and if you add all the dust and such stuff, it can be very hard to open.. But slowly.. Those cans are also found in "Big G's" and, if we look at other Japan vintage guitars,in Washburn Wing-series..
