Is the JBjr neck model fender or gibson spaced?

I'm replacing an emg (3 conductor) select bridge humbucker with a Rio Grande BBQ (2 conductor). Here's the switch it's wired to: On-On-On 1 4 2 5 3 6 lugs 1&3 are jumpered (lug 3 also has a wire that runs to the center lug on the next switch and another wire that runs to the...

Getting an increase in sound volume and hum when touching any pot shaft. Bridge hum reduces when touched. The pots pictured appear to be grounded thru the shielding. Think I should take a shot at hard wiring the pots to ground as a first step? Multi-metered the connections and they're all...

For this configuration using a DP/DT as the 3way on a hum-hum guitar: 3way down(towards floor): bridge position- dimarzio breed 3way up: bridge JB in neck- direct to jack 3way middle: breed coil closest to bridge & JB coil furthest from neck combined in parallel

Restringing this for my uncle. Anyone know what string gauges to use? My uncle doesn't know and I'm unfamiliar with this type of guitar. Thickest string (Low E?) is 1/16" and fourth thickest string (G?) is approx 1/32". Strings are much thicker than what I was going to replace them with...

I'm currently using a Radial Silver Dipped Mica Capacitor 220pF 500V 2% after the vol pot at the LP 3 way between hot and ground to lower the resonant frequency of the bridge pup (A8 fillister breed). Signal path in my axe is pup-pot-3way-jack. Also want to put a .0012 100v cap between the...

Looking for a bridge model in standard spacing.

Been thinking about this for a 1 humbucker(1 vol-1tone) guitar to simulate a neck pup. -Roll tone down to desired level of smoothness. -Read tone pot with a multimeter (not sure what lugs the probes would go on, hot and ground?) -use a resistor on a dpdt to simulate the reading from the...

I'm knocking a 500k vol pot to a 250 with 2 1meg resistors in parallel between the input lug and ground. Is it ok to put the two resistors between the pup and pot instead? ie- Solder one end of the 2 resistors to the end of the pup hot and then solder the other end of the 2 resistors to the vol...

Any tips on loosening the hex nut? Looks like glue from the bottom of the string nut dripped down onto it. Wont turn at all. The combo of the glue and never adjusting the truss rod got this thing frozen in place pretty good.

I have two- 2 conductor buckers I'm wiring up to a 5way. The 5way has the 8 lugs all in one row. Here's how its wired now with the current pups, starting from the top: 1st and 5th lugs- bridge 2nd and 3rd lugs- neck 4th lug- to vol pot input 6th and 7th lugs- empty 8th lug- ground How would I...

Was curious as to the best way to do this (tube, box?). Going to be ebaying a warmoth neck soon and can't remember what warmoth shipped it to me in.

Say you have a 16k pup with one dead coil. With red and white together and the probes on black and green, what will the reading be? 16k, 8, 0?

Question about a dime with these readings: 17.10k- multimeter on black and green, red and white together. 8.67- multi on green and red 3.8-0 - multi on green and white (starting at anywhere between 3.8-1.2 then decreasing as long as I hold the wires to multimeter How can I get the full 17.10k...

Anyone know the specs on the dime's height adj screws? I lost one and have to replace it. Figure I'll go to home depot and grab one. Be easier if I had the specs instead of just eyeballing it. Thanks!
