Looking at a BCR Heritage Classic in trans red. Anybody here play one? Any thoughts on them? I fell in love with the Mockingbird shape after seeing Slash play one in the 90's and have a deficit in my bass to guitar ratio so I thought I could solve 2 problems with one purchase - not having a...

Re: How consistent are PRS guitars? But then you get an endorsement like this and there is no comparison...

Re: Did Gibson actually ever produce a run of these? The green has got me. Just to make you all drool a little harder though - I found this while I was googling the widow series...

Hi all, I've not done a hybrid job before and would like to try it. The Jazz & JB are a great combo, but has anyone tried to mix n match the coils on these pickups with each other, ie JB screw coil with Jazz slug & vice versa, or even JB & Jazz screw coils in one pup?

It's Friday, the weather is fine here in Aus and I'm stuck behind a desk bored. This got me to thinking: I have an Epi Dot which has an epiphone humbucker in the neck that I split into a single coil (the winds on the other coil were shredded) and since doing so I haven't switched to the bridge...

Re: Its back.... A true 80's throwback finish Takes me back to the Charvette I picked up for $80 in the mid-90's much the same as this: It had an upside-down headstock and everything!

Hey all, I recently modded my trash LP with some pretty gnarly wiring - push pulls for split & parallel on each pup plus toggle switches for series & parallel between the pups (JB & Jazz). Picked up the guitar yesterday and noticed the neck was quite loud compared to the bridge and majorly...

Due to work and family commitments my CNC Router plans are on hold and I have no time to build anything, so I'm going to sink a few hundred into an Epiphone Nighthawk. I've found a Korean built unit for sale which I haven't looked at yet. They're asking the same $$$ as a new indo/chinese model...

I think this confirms my final step into madness, but... I know it is possible, with the right pickups, to make a humbucker from 2 single coils wired in series. I know it is possible to get a single coil sized side by side (ie not stacked) humbucker. Do you see where this is going? Going by...

Hey all - I've finished with my LP Jimmy Page wiring with 4 push/pulls & 2 toggle switches, now it's time to play with something else. The next project involves a strat & 3 push/pulls with the standard 5 way switch. I was thinking: Volume knob pulls out to turn Neck pickup on when in the...

Re: Push/Pull and toggle combinations Or would this be better?

Re: Wiring help, 2 hum, 1 tone, 1 vol, 2 pushpulls. No reason why not - the P-Rail is just a humbucker by another name. It looks different and each coil is wound differently, but it's wired the same as your Sh1n-4c and Tb-4's are. Just assume the screws are where the P-90 would be and the slugs...

Re: Push/Pull and toggle combinations I think I've figured out the first option and in hindsight, I think the second option would be a pain in the a** to keep track of. For the first option, does this look right? Based on the first image, I'm hoping my addition in the second will do the job.

Hi all, As per a recent post I'm about to pull apart a slightly skewed JP wiring where I got 2 of the PP Pots wired backwards in my trash LP. I've been racking my brain as to what to do next and just for sh*ts and giggles I'd like to open up every available possibility. What I'm looking for...

Hi all, long time reader first time poster. I've seen a lot of posts on the JP wiring, but none outlining the issues I have... Recently I finished a Kit LP style guitar. I replaced most of the junk hardware, spent a lot of time making everything fit properly (body was protruding from bindings...
