Open to anything - distortion, fuzz, or overdrive. I have about $150 to throw at this. I have a BBE AM64 modded (with silicone diodes instead of LEDs) that's ALMOST PERFECT, but I can't quite seem to get good note definition while picking. The problem comes from that big "thump" when picking...

Hey all, my dad is thinking about making a warmoth strat after seeing how nice their components are for the price. He is probably going to go SSS (although I've tried to convince him to go humbucker bridge single neck) he wants SSS. He also wants a humbucker tone. I recommended a Dimarzio Super...

I just got a bonus from work for moving to a new location, and I came in under budget. I have some extra scratch to play around with but I should probably save it. I would except I've wanted to try a set of warpigs for years. I have a PRS SE Paul Allender with an Alt 8/Air Classic set that just...

Hey all, I was planning out the wiring for my new warmoth build (HH semi hollow), and I decided to include a switch that would combine one of the bridge coils with the neck humbucker. This would be in series so the output would be raised. I was wondering if anyone had tried this, and whether or...

Hey all, I'm going to be possibly building a Warmoth Mooncaster. It's swamp ash with a quilt maple top. I'm at a loss about what to do for the neck. I want a very smooth, fast neck with good tone. I was thinking roasted maple due to its low weight (to match the hollow body) and no need for...

I may have a warmoth mooncaster (starcaster clone) in my future. Swamp ash with quilt maple top, HH routed, not sure about the neck construction yet (although I'll take advice!), with 6 control holes routed out (I may use some stacked pots and toggle switches). I currently have a Black Winter...

Hi all, I was wondering if I bought a new pickguard for an SSS 2009 American deluxe strat, could I drop in a humbucker in the bridge? I would swap in the other two pickups and maybe add new pots and a jack. I want to do this as a present for my dad, but I can't actually see the instrument until...

Re: Just ordered some Lace Lifers

TB-15 with white coils - 50 Death By Audio Fuzz War - 90 EHX Metal Muff with busted DC input jack - 50 I'm down for an OD, trippy effects, or any kind of pickups that might work for me. I'll make sure the package has tracking, and if you're trading I can send mine first as this is my first...

I'll have a review within a week or so. I haven't been able to find any in depth information on them, and I couldn't pass up the deal. Wino was my favorite guitar player for a long time, so I'm really interested to see how these play out. Apparently they're smoothed out drop and gains. Going...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys had any ideas to help me tune up my bw neck. I've wanted to play around with magnet and pole piece swapping, and I think I could make this one suit me a litter better. I want it to be quieter and if possible brighter. I was thinking Alnico 3 or 4 with some...

So I finally got my warmoth project finished, and I've run into quite the problem. The issue is that when I play higher strings, the sound diminishes. It starts to sound out of phase, quacky, weak, dinky, etc. Pickups are TB-Alt8 and BW-Neck. I noticed it when messing around with my Q-tron. The...

i purchased an alt8 trembucker and black winter neck for a warmoth build. The issue i, the alt 8, even being very close to the strings, is much quieter than the black winter. The BW sounds great, but the alt 8 is quieter note for note, chord for chord. I like my bridge pickup to be louder than...

I'm trying to wire a 2 Humbucker 1 volume, 2 tone with coil splitting on one of the tone knobs. I'm not sure how these knobs work, so I'm not sure which pins do what. I only want one pickup coil split. Does anyone have any wiring diagrams that would work for a situation like this? Setup is...

so I was looking into buying a new prs but, after some thought, I decided to go with a warmoth build instead. I may be ordering it soon (a lot sooner than expected), so I need to think about it now. I like a little bit of a vintage jangle in my neck pickup (or at least some brightness to pop...
