Hey, I'm rewiring my PRS SE Custom 24, with the following specifications. - Two humbuckers with Seymour Duncan triple-shots (do they now effectively wire up as single coils, with the triple-shots?) - 4-way blade switch (Bridge/Serial both/Parallel both/Neck - in this order) - 500k volume pot...

Hey, I'm downsizing my setup as I'm off travelling in a month, starting with Australia. My whole setup (to cover recording MacBook Pro, through to performing through large amps) fits onto a Pedaltrain Nano+. The two main roles are tone-shaping for big chunky riffs (Spark and modded GE7) and...

Hey, I've recently downsized my Pedaltrain Junior to a Pedaltrain Nano+, as I'm off travelling for a couple of years. Here's a link to the setup I'm taking. The new Crybaby Mini Wah would be a great extra pedal to take, which I could run just before my pedalboard. What would be especially...

Hi, I have a PRS SE Custom 24 which I'm rewiring, ahead of taking it to Australia as my only guitar (planning to buy an Ibanez 7-string on arrival!). The PRS has dual 4-wire humbuckers that I'd like to match with a versatile, although intuitive pickup selection system. It currently has a 3-way...

I have a couple of superswitches that I'm deciding how to wire up with a couple of double humbucker guitars, with the desire for some versatile switching options. Of course, they're four wire. I have spied Schaller Megaswitches. Pros and cons? I get the impression that each one has a specific...

Hey, I've finally ordered the parts for my PRS SE Custom 24 electronics upgrade. - PRS S2 HFS and vintage bass humbuckers (4 wire) (I bought them because they're black, to replace the zebras in mine.) - Oak Grigsby 5 way superswitch - CTS 1 Meg tone pot - All Parts Push/Push 500k for volume - A...

Hey, I'm gathering components to re-wire my PRS SE Custom 24, including a 5-way super-switch and push/push pot. Are there any downsides to using a Molex connector, as Gibson already do? Actually, an even simpler solution (no fitting connectors on each new pickup and easier for feeding wires...

Hey, I'm about to order a no-load tone pot for my PRS SE Custom 24, along with a push/push pot for volume, for splitting coils. The push/push pots seem to come exclusively in 250k and 500k variants. Should I be considering a 1 meg or even 2 meg volume pot to pair with my no-load tone pot? Thanks

So, the general consensus is that uncovered humbuckers are slightly more 'raw'. As much as I value aesthetics and would like smart nickel, or brushed chrome covers, I can't prioritise that over my tone. It's a shame then, that no-one seems to put any effort into making uncovered humbuckers...

Hey, I have a new humbucker by another manufacturer, that has allen key bolts. I was curious to see what kind of allen key bolts were used, as I might change them for another colour. I checked on Google and found posts suggesting these bolts freely unscrew and rescrew back in. I unscrewed one...

As posted elsewhere, I'm re-wiring my PRS SE Custom 24 and Telecaster HH for 5-way, Bridge/Inners/Both/Outers/Neck. I'm also adding a push/push tone knob, for tone knob bypass; replacing the push/pull for coil-split, as these sound weak and it's an awkward switch. Which 5-way super switch...

Hey, my two go-to guitars from my collection of four are: PRS SE Custom 24 Tuned to DADGBD with 10-gauge strings (and a 54 on the low string, to compensate for the D-tuning); used for fast lead-work, technical riffing and generally raw, high-gain playing. Fender Telecaster HH Tuned to CGCFAC...
