    NPGBD - Warmoth Content

    New Project Guitar Body Day! UPS came today with a new Warmoth swamp ash strat body. Universal route, side output jack, vintage tremolo. Body weighs in at 3lb 5.2oz, a bit lighter than I expected, but I'm not complaining. Many of these specs were based on the idea that I was a body short of a...

    Post your modded Strats!

    Here's my lot of modded strats. I won't include the bone stock superstrat (LTD Serpent 600). Excuse the quick photo and the wall spackle. 2003 Fender HWY1 Replaced pickups with Fender CS Texas Specials. Swapped out white covers, switch tip, and knobs for black. Replaced bridge with a...

    Seymour Duncan SHPR-1 P-Rails Set (Cream)

    I believe these are ~12 years old (not sure if the numbers on the label equate to dates, or how long the "Patent Pending" stickers were applied). 9-1/2" lead on the bridge, 10-1/2" lead on the neck. Prefer to sell as a set. $160 shipped to the lower 48.

    Tall/Angled Trembucker Mounting Rings?

    Anyone have a good source for a tall/angled mounting ring that is wide enough for a Seymour Duncan covered trembucker? Looking to drop into an SG and this pickup only fits the low profile ring it shipped with. Batting 0.000 online so far, hoping someone can shorten my search.

    Lets see your Les Paul.

    My 1999 Les Paul Studio. I also have a Dean Soltero that also pulls some single cut duties, but this is my only proper Les Paul.

    N(U)GD - ESP LTD Serpent 600 George Lynch

    My fascination with this guitar (or at least it's ESP Custom Shop cousin) started in the mid-90s with the old printed ESP catalog. Around 2007 ESP re-released the graphic in the LTD line as the Serpent 600, and I always managed to talk myself out of getting one before they were discontinued...

    18 years later, I'm getting my Brobucker

    Pretty excited about my latest pickup purchase (and it'll be up to 6 weeks before it get here). I always regretted not participating in the original Brobucker run 18 years ago. I've seen some come and go in the Trading Post over the years, but always passed on them for one reason or another...

    Wiring suggestions/help

    Re: Wiring suggestions/help I think I have this working with a superswitch and a single push/pull. This is pretty crude, and I can clean it up, but I think it's decipherable enough for others to verify the switching. This should yield the following: Push/Pull (bottom 4 contacts in diagram...

    Thoughts on Screamin Demon paired with Stra-Bro90?

    I'm looking for your thoughts on a bridge humbucker to pair with the Stra-Bro90. I've had this pickup since the original run, and shamefully never installed it. This is going into an S-X-H alder-bodied strat with a Wilkinson VS100. This guitar has previously had a Screamin Demon in the bridge...

    Master Partial Phase, Master Series/Parallel (correct?)

    Re: Master Partial Phase, Master Series/Parallel (correct?) Your diagram does exactly what you described. Another option for the series/parallel switch is below and overrides the pickup selector switch regardless of position. "Neck black" and bridge black" are the outputs from the partial phase...

    StewMac Electric Guitar Kits

    Music Man bass pickup wiring

    Gents, I'm finally ready to wire up my 5 string bass project, but I am concerned that what I've drawn up may be loading the pots in an undesirable way. The bass uses a single Music Man pickup (Duncan SMB-5D). The diagram illustrates the following: a DPDT switch to put the pickup's coils in...

    Volume pot wiring - output or pickup on the wiper?

    Help me out here, fellas! Generally, I'm still trying to understand why there's a difference in connecting a pickup's hot lead to the wiper of a pot, as opposed to the output. I know that end result allows you to independently control the volume of two pickups in parallel, but I admittedly don't...
