Hello, hope I could get some accurate information on this from anyone that really knows about this. I built a telecaster like baritone guitar from scratch and initially designed the neck pickup for a humbucker. The pickup I placed in the neck position was a Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell due...

I have really wondered if string gauge vs scale and such could be the introducer of this. In terms of bridge/saddle/pole, this guitar was built with the oversight of Jon Mouradian, one of the well known and trusted luthiers in this area (son of Jim Mouradian). When I told him I wanted him...

I should have mentioned that there are D'Addario baritone 13's round wound on the guitar now. The 14's were getting pretty tight tuned up at D. Most of the time, the low A and E string are tuned down a whole step or 3rd to accommodate the DADGAD or Orkney tuning that I use most of the time...

Thanks guys, and that is what I thought about the 5/2. I purposely got that to calm the top 3 strings down a bit, as maybe a mild "low pass filter of sorts", sweeten up the higher strings for primarily fingerstyle on electric. I will need to figure out a way to post pics, and sure, I'm well...

Hello. I'm having an odd issue that is somewhat baffling me, perhaps some of you could offer some insight or guidance. I build a baritone from scratch (28.625) for the sole purpose of playing acoustic type fingerstyle on electric guitar. Now, the thing is, while I am grateful that this...

Hello. I was hoping to hear from someone that has experience with the Seymour Duncan Lipstick tube pickup for Strat bridge position. Reason I ask is that I am in the process of building a Telecaster type Baritone guitar. One of the pickups that is near the bridge is the Seymour Duncan...

So this is a project started over a year ago that I am getting back to, and its time to create the pickup mounting plate for specific pickups. This is a 28.625" scale guitar, loosely modelled after a Telecaster shape. I"ve already picked up and purchased the neck and middle pickup but...

Hey there, happy Saturday. I wanted to see about confirming that the coils in the Dimebucker are identical to each other, wire type, # of windings, etc. Reason I ask is that a guitar I built is meant to be used quite often with an Ebow. Using an Ebow in the neck position to me calls for...

Hey there and thanks For a baritone guitar I'm building now I'm interested in putting a Lipstick pup in the mid position (but its really in-between the mid an bridge) and I have a question. The schematic for the pickups and switches I drew out has alot of option for series/parallel/cut...

Hello, This thread is tad bit redundant to another previous one I made but, since then I'm thinking a tele type bridge is more compatible with the expectations of this guitar I'm in the process of building It is for a 28.625 Tele type baritone (swamp ash body, maple neck with probably Pau...

Alright, here goes nothin' (or hopefully, somethin") If you had a 28.625" scale Telecaster baritone guitar and you were strictly interested in fingerpicking only, mostly complex celtic style guitar, what pickups would you consider to meet that end? Off hand, I'm inclined to think that I'd be...

Hello, thanks for stopping by. I built a guitar that has a Dimebucker in the neck position. (long story) I would like to identify which coil goes with which color wires. Any confusion I would have comes from the Dimebucker not having an adjustable and slug coil, and also that it is usually...

Hi folks, I just built a fretless walnut strat guitar and am pretty pleased with how that came out. I'm ready to make or put together another guitar. Hanging around in my draw, there is a JB jr and an Alnico Pro ll neck humbucker and wondering if they would team up well for the next guitar...

Hi, just curious if the Dimebucker comes with the pickup ring when you buy it new. Thats all folks! Thank you, Phil

Thanks for taking time for this. I'm in the process of building a fret-less electric guitar that will mostly be used with an Ebow. I just really wanted something like a guitar that would give some controllable dynamics/sustain, unlimited gliss with some "strings" like expression. The body...
