I'm kicking around a custom tele configuration. I'm going to build it with a Warmoth swamp ash tele body with two strat routes in the neck and the middle with a standard tele bridge route. Has anyone ever done this with Barden pups in particular with a the Barden tele set plus one strat pup in...

My vote goes to the EQ pedal. I have simple setup to carry around with me to just jam with folks and the EQ pedal always gets packed. I was simply stunned at the quietness of the Danelectro Fish and Chips. I had tried other EQs but they all seemed to add too much hiss. The Fish and Chips does a...

Here are a few more pix. Notice how thin the neck is. I don't play very many like this and that's one reason I like her so much. Even my '60 RI doesn't have a neck this thin. Of course maybe that's why the neck snapped when it fell off the guitar stand. When it happened I stopped playing and...

Here are some pics I promised of my mauled LP '75 custom pancake along with some case photos. Damn '80s and whammy bars. Yes, I know it was stupid. No, I don't need you to tell me. I've beat myself up for this for over 20 years now. The headstock was broken off and repaired back in '86 and I've...

I'm just asking out of curiosity. I know the bad rep they have. I have a 75 Custom that has been through hell. It's toured all over the southeast, the head has been broken off and repaired, even back in my metal days I had it routed for a Kahler. Since then I've taken the Kahler off and it has...

Anybody know where I can find them? I can find the long bushing shaft push/pull but not the other. I want to use them on an LP project so I need the long shafted ones.

Can this be done and can somebody help a schematic illiterate person with a detailed diagram?

I play semi-professionally and I'm going to build a tele type guitar. I want a 3 pickup configuration like a strat for versatility meaning I want all 3 to be single size but not necessarily single coil. I have to play every genre of music with the exception of classical, rap, and that...

I need a schematic for this wiring. Basically I'm trying to get a combination strat and les paul with the exception of getting both humbuckers with the middle selection. I just want the middle selection going to my single coil. I'll use a 5way and two mini toggles. Mini toggles are for...

I want to be able to coil split a neck and a bridge with an on off type switch but yet use the 5 way to select pickups in the same manner as a standard strat. I have seen the coil split schematic for using noise canceling in the 2 and 4 position. I want that plus I want to be able to coil split...
