Heyo, I've never done shielding before but I'm going to try it soon. I'll use my 20 yo. Epiphone SG G-400 which I also use for my wiring experiments, I'm not going to inflict my first attempts on my Gibson/Charvel/Jackson/etc. I'm planning to apply copper tape (with conductive adhesive) to...

Couldn't find any strings thread, so I'll start then. I like to try different things, I mostly use the ever-popular Ernie Balls, they're certainly cutting, but I think they tend to be on the shrill side. I'm playing an Epi SG with Black Winters on a Marshall, and I had problems taming this...

Re: Post you Gibson SG Re: Post you Gibson SG My Gibson SG Raw Power... 100% maple, '57 pickups. It's pretty nice, if only it didn't have that chunky 50s neck :( edit: also, my phone cam is dreadful. It doesn't look bad in person.

I guess this is a pretty unusual combination. Probably no one else ever did this. I wanted to try a BW in my old Epiphone G-400. That had a Phat Cat set installed, and since I only have one BW, I left the neck PC in. Bridge behaved as expected, typical BW sound, only a bit sharper/drier. The...

I'm thinking about putting Distortions or Black Winters in my good old Epi G400, and possibly a future Gibson SG Special project with these. Did anyone of you try this before? Thing is, I love the SG, it's a badass design with that characteristic dirty, snotty hard rock/Black Sabbath sound. My...

Re: Gaps in the Wiring Diagrams? Here it is: The beauty in it is that you get 156 settings without drilling any holes into your Gibson, hence I call it the "Gibsanity". You need two 4P6T rotary switches, two P/P pots, and keep the 3-way toggle switch. The OOP P/P puts the neck pup out of...

Re: I need the help of an electronics whiz Hey, based on your diagram I had an idea for a 4PDT switch like this one: My wiring idea: Would that work? From your diagram however it looks like you're using both the "upper" coils. What I tried to wire before was both inner coils, because I...

edit: Thread is obsolete -> topic covered in "I need the help of an electronics whiz" thread original post: Alright, here's one for specialists. I'd like to make my own unusual pickup wiring and can't find a standard/mini switch that allows it. I fear there isn't one, but I thought maybe...
