So my friend recently changed the pickups out on his Ibanez. Some weird business happened, it's the Nazgul 7 in the bridge and the Dimarzio Air Norton 7 in the neck and 1 meg pots, but the DC on both of them read lower than 9, would this be result of s botched soldering job? Any help at all...

I've contacted the Custom Shop if I could, but I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else knows if they can do it. I've got myself a Hello Kitty Strat that I want to put a slug in, but with the pick guard I would want it to be white so it's down to either the Distortion or the slug, really...

Don't know if this is the right spot Direct me if it's not :) Anyway, I have myself an Epiphone Les Paul Jr, Now I've already modded it a little bit with a Schaller bridge and machine heads with a SD Phat Cat. Now I wanna take it even further OH BOY :laugh2: I'm going to strip down the tobacco...

I've gotten myself some new everything for a full makeover of a tele of Mine. The 4 way switch seemed like it was a ggreat choice Anyway, what I'm confused about is how it says that I need to add a new ground wire to the cover. I tried soldering said new wire to the cover plate of the neck...

I'm seeing some mixed ideas around some other websites, people are also saying to use an 'ABY Box' But I honestly would love to have 2 outputs in a guitar, both outputs for whatever pickup I have selected, switchable outputs would be sweet too, with a 3 way toggle switch (Left, both, right) What...

I'm needing some help on wiring up a H/S/H setup with EMG Looking around in the diagrams they have on their website the only 3 pickup diagrams they have is H/S/S or S/S/S. So I had the idea that the signal goes in and out the same way with a pickup weather it's a single coil or a humbucker But...

A friend gave me a neck with no fretboard and a truss rod that was pulled out Now I can't seem to figure out which side faces toward the fretboard, I believe it's the flat side

I'm getting a Phat Cat for my Les Paul Jr so I thought it'd be a good idea to check out a wiring diagram Once looking at it, I saw the solder icon saying I should solder the shielding to the volume pot? Do I get the ground wire out of the shielding and solder it to the pot or?

As you can tell from the title I'm building a vintage style strat, brilliant fun indeed It's going to be a really warm sounding guitar, really natural looking as well Mahogany body with a maple pick guard, yet to decide on the pickups Anyway, the reason I made this thread is because I'm after...

I've started building a strat from the ground up, going well so far! Planning to have a light mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard. Doing as much as I can to give it lots of wooden parts so it's going to have a maple pickguard with a leaf pattern burned onto it, and I'm getting those...
