    '72 fender tele deluxe reissue

    Re: '72 fender tele deluxe reissue I've been gigging with a Squier Deluxe lately with a set of MOD1's in it. It doesn't sound like the original WRHBs, but it's worlds ahead of the stock pickups. I have 22 guitars in my collection. Fender, Gibson, Suhr, Heritage, etc, and this Squier Deluxe...

    CuNiFe Exists! ( a little )

    Not selling anything here, just showing a cool project we just finished and thought you guys might enjoy seeing. I am only posting this in the interest of showing something kinda cool. We managed to procure some old CuNiFe rod and made some pickup frames, base plates, bobbins and threaded...

    Imagine if you could thread an alnico magnet

    Well, we did! What is the significance of threaded alnico magnets? Imagine a set of Strat pickups where you set the perfect balance yourself! No more Vintage Stagger, Modern Stagger, etc. You want to set a left hand stagger and get that Hendrix vibe? Just twist the magnets and set it anyway...

    L6-SG Build - Hot off the workbench!

    This is a little project guitar I recently completed. For years, I've wanted the rockin' roar of a thin mahogany Gibson SG but I just can't deal with the "neck-heavy" balance problems. One day I was looking at a Gibson L6-S and noticed it's very thin like the SG and a lightbulb glowed inside...

    Chrome Covers w/ no holes!

    I know this topic has been addressed 1,000 times but in this case we have a little twist. I'm scratch building a Gibson L6-S type guitar and want to put chrome covers w/ no holes over the pickups. The L6-S had pickups with solid chrome covers and they looked really cool on the guitar. I'll...

    P-rails sound so good,.........

    ...............even a drummer can tell the difference! I played my P-rails equipped guitar for it's first gig saturday night and it sounded terrific. We play classic rock from the 60's to the 90's and I had it all covered with this one guitar. In fact, our drummer and another friend of the the...

    Pickup volume and quality

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or if I'm just crazy but, MIM Strats sound amazing to me at low volume with their stock pickups. Very sweet with lots of quack and a full, smooth, tone. But when you crank 'em up to gig volume, they seem to lose their shine and become somewhat harsh...

    So, who has gone back to "stock?"

    A few years back I got real caught up in modification madness and was buying and selling guitars just so I could tear their guts out and do crazy things with them. All sorts of wiring schemes, p'up configs, and experiments with hardware. Some of it was good. Some of it was interesting. Most of...

    P90's in Toaster Covers, mmmmmmmm

    I like to build my own guitars and have lusted after a Ric 360 since I was like 16 years old. When I finally bought one I was less than elated with the features like the neck and fret wire size, and all those knobs that yielded cool tones in the studio became a nightmare during a gig. So I built...

    Mixing an mini-bucker with Kinman Strat p'ups

    I have a Strat that I just routed for a P90 Stack in the bridge position and I'm not thrilled with the sound in relation to the Kinmans I have in the neck and middle positions. The Kinmans squash the P90 in volume and presence. The P90 Stacks I have in a different guitar sound great, but for...

    P90 Stack wiring suggestions needed

    This is a little different. I am putting a P90 Stack in the bridge spot of my Strat and 2 Kinmans in the neck and middle positions. I have found the Kinmans to work best with a 250K pot and the P90 Stack with a 500K pot. How can I wire this up so that I have only one volume control? Is...
