Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff!
I wanted a "clean single coil" guitar since most of my guitars have humbuckers so I decided to try Lace sensors since they sound really good clean and they have less hum than traditional single coils. I wasn't able to find a strat style guitar with a maple neck so I bought an Ibanez RX60. It ends up the RX60 had a ply body and was badly painted so I opted to start over with a new body. I was surprised that the Lace's sound good distorted so I decided to expand my options. I'm going to install a on/on/on switch so I can use either of the bridge coils alone or in series with each other. This one will either be a H/S/S or H/S/H guitar if I can find another Lace Sensor for a reasonable price, in which case I would also wire the neck to do either coils or both in series. If I like it enough I might add a Artec QTA 4-way boost.
Parts List:
Dark purple body unknown wood from Guitarfetish on closeout $18.50.
Maple Ibanez RX60 neck
2 500K pots Volume & Tone
Cast chrome strat tremolo
5-way switch
on/on/on mini toggle for the bridge
Lace Red Sensor Back-Bridge
Lace Blue Sensor Front-Bridge
Lace Silver Middle
Lace Gold Neck
