I'm looking for some help with wiring - I'm in the middle of installing a Dimarzio Air Norton 7 in the neck of my Schecter A7, with a Seymour DUncan JB-7 at the bridge. I just wanted to check to see if anyone knows whether I will need to reverse the phase on the Dimarzio or not? I was planning...

So, I've got a new toy - a JB-7 which I want to install in the bridge position of my Schecter A7+ (i.e. the one with the licenced Floyd). I'm in the middle of ordering my other new toy, an Air Norton 7, to go in the neck position. Long ago I took the tone control out of the guitar and replaced...

I just got a 7-string JB for the bridge position of my Schecter A7, and I want to pair it with a Dimarzio Air Norton in the neck. For some reason I have this idea that I have to wire one or the other of the pickups differently to their respective wiring diagrams, to avoid phase issues (I think...

I think I've been a dumb@ss and wired a tone pot backwards....... With the tone on 10, the pickups sound a little more muffled than they did before. Cranking down the pot has no effect until I hit about 1, when the sound cuts out altogether. :smack: Have I wired it back-to-front?

Hi all, I've got some push/push DPDT pots from guitarjonesusa.com. As I sit and look at them, there are six soldering lugs on the 'switch' part of the pot - anyone have any idea what these lugs relate to for soldering? I'm intending to use one of the push/push pots for switiching between series...

Hi all, I'm still on my quest for some 500k audio taper push/push DPDT pots :yell: I walked into a guitar store today, and asked if they had 500k audio taper push/pull DPDT pots, to which the reply was 'yes, here you are. We also have push/push pots, if you're interested.." I ultimately...

...some push/push pots online? I'm looking for 500k audio taper push/push pots, preferably a supplier based in the UK or who will ship to the UK. All I can find are 500k push/pull pots with an audio taper, or 500k push/push pots with a linear taper. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi all, I've got a Squire strat that I can't leave alone (put a new switch in, a Hot rails at the bridge, hot stacks neck and middle), so now I want to put some new pots into it. I was thinking of having a master volume, master tone, and a master EMG-SPC circuit in. I want to put 2 push/pull...

Hi, I was looking around recently for a reasonably cheap strat-type guitar to drop a Warmoth baritone conversion neck onto: http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/necks/necks.cfm?fuseaction=baritone Eventually I stumbled across a Yamaha RGX 112 at a very cheap price so I bought it. Having measured up...

Hi, I have a question about the Strat Hot Livewire; does it come in bridge and neck models, or is it the same pickup for both? I'm thinking of dropping it into a H/S/H setup with a LiveWire Metal (bridge) and a LiveWire Classic (neck). Thanks!

I've got a Squire strat which I'm in the middle of putting some new pickups in, and I decided to put a new switch in at the same time (the old one was suffering from squire-strat-crackly-switch-itus). Here's the switch I've bought...

Hi, I'm thinking about trying out a Phat Cat in a Squire strat (bridge position), with maybe quarter pound single coils in the middle and neck. Anyone have any thoughts on how well the Phat Cat would match up with the QP singles in terms of output/volume - will there be much difference? If...

Anyone tried the EMG 89 out? I was thinking about an EMG 85 to put at the bridge of a project guitar I'm starting, but then I started looking at the 89 instead.... Basically, I heard that it sounds like an EMG SA in 'single coil' mode, and like an EMG 85 in 'humbucker' mode. Anyone here have...

Hi, I have a half-stack; 100 watt head, 4 x 12 cabinet. The head has two jacks on the back - 4 ohms and 8 ohms. I've just noticed the cab has a note on it saying "100w/8 ohms. It has an 'IN' jack and an 'OUT' jack. Up to now, I've had the amp connected up to the 4 ohm jack on the head...

Hi all, anyone know of any decent websites/books etc where I can read up on building a speaker cabinet? Don't know why, but I've started getting keen on the idea of giving it a try :help:
