Got a Godin Detour and since they make their own pickups it's a different color code. So the question is does anyone know what the exact wires are? The guitar is all wired and I'm great with a soldering iron and it's not rocket science that the multimeter will tell me. But surely someone has...

I'm not a fender player so I figured I'd ask you guys here. Do grounding loops have a technical name that I could get them on ebay or somewhere like it? By grounding loops I'm referring to on USA strats how when you lift the pickguard up the grounding is attached with a small screw going...

I'm sure it's been done a million times but I can't find a diagram on it so I figure you guys can help me out. Pretty much I want to be able to go between two different types of capacitors for different tones or at least offer something special on a pickguard I plan to wire up for a project...

Re: Modification Ideas for an Epiphone Thunderhorse i used to find air brush designers and so forth on classified sites but always try to see their work prior to throwing cash at them. in all honesty though this isn't hard at all. I'd strip the paint/finish off , print off the design on a...

Re: question regarding electrolytic capacitors this may help solve some questions to help me which kind of capacitor it is. If the F2 doesn't matter on it I've got a match. If so now for the fun part , which kind of capacitor would you guys go with for a more modern metal sound. and the...

So I've got a marshall valvestate which is a fusion of a solid state amp with valves , no idea I'm not much of an amplifier expert I know guitars in and out. What I'm replacing is the C28 electrolytic capacitor, it's blown and I can't get distortion at all. I'm 90% sure I got the right...

It's either a soloist or a Dinky , got it dirt cheap off of a classified site and it's in flawless shape. dot inlays as opposed to shark fin usually means it's a cheaper model or old model (professional series or the 2 point fulcrum tremolo is hardly used on Jacksons the wood isn't poplar ...

So a customer emailed me and he's after a replacement saddle for a bridge on his guitar as I sell the odd floyd rose part or two and for the first time in a while I wasn't 100% sure. LOOKS like some sort of Kahler although I could be wrong. It's supposedly a Steve Lukather (guitarist of toto...

So I had a customer ask for a really advanced wiring diagram and it was so complex I figured I'd come here as I don't wire too many strat harnesses. The pickups are 4 wire so this seems like it can work on paper but just needs a bit of creativity. all three pickups the guy wants to coiltap in...

Re: SH-6b in Squier 51? I personally love the distortion , ok so are your pickups still in the guitar? if so here's a bit of help. so on a seymour duncan distortion you've got 5 wires if bare is included if memory serves me right so this means black - selector switch green / bare wire - to...

so I have a box of push pulls I got in to try out various things. One out of the box idea I had was somewhat inspired by tonefiend but instead of using capacitors I was thinking of using resistors. Figure someone on here knows more about push pulls than I do. so here's the idea. Lets say one...

Re: Question for guys who use Big Blocks on their Floyds I didn't feel any weight difference honestly I get asked this all the time as I had a metal company make me some in Budapest (Hungary) , the blocks I had where 1.5cm thick , so thick the spring barely fit on. The whammy bar didn't have...
