Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff! Mahogany with SD Vintage for tele

Re: Double cut Tele anyone? agree I wasn't sure about the knobs and all the parts added up cost wise he could have bought a mim Tele for the same money after people were paid for their work but stiĺl worth it imo

My son bought this hunk of mahogany which had been rough cut into Tele shape but the owner had changed his mind and decided on a PRS type body before giving up and selling it.....finished article came out very well

I seem to recall that a couple of years back the blurb on the Antiquity pickups stated they were not wax potted, this wording seems to have been changed. Are they still non potted? I am hoping not as I just bought a dog ear and that was one of the reasons I chose it. Thanks,

Here I was thinking it was 500k and 250k but now I am seeing 2 x 500k 'Vintage' kits from Emerson etc. Can anyone please give me the Gods Honest version of how these things were original 'potted' back in the day? Am about to put antiquity p90 into a 2010 Gibson junior and am considering new...

Re: Surprise. Surprise. Thumbs up for an Epiphone SG. agree totally on being a very good base to improve upon. Has CTS pots, orange drops and coil split JB and Jazz, the only original bit is the switch which has needed some attention twice in 4 years. The switch supplied in the original...

Does anyone know please if this would require surgery with regard to mounting screws etc? While being keen on the pickup, not so keen on messing with the original cavity.

I have the opportunity to grab the above pickups 2nd hand for a very good price and am thinking of these for an Epi 339 (if it ever arrives?), they have 4 wire connection and I am wondering if they would be strong enough to split?

I have an Epi 339 Pro on order and the dilemma seems to be which alnico 2 pickup to eventually replace the stock pickups with? I really like the idea of non potted Alnico 2 pickups but single conductor or two conductor wiring plus the low output may not be any good for coil splitting, should I...

I am guessing NO as I think they are single conductor wiring but would be very pleased if someone contradicted me.........

Re: another "beater" guitar thread... because they're frikkin awesome. Got rid of the black hardware for chrome, just need to change the pick guard now, either tortoise or white pearloid. If pearloid I am not sure what to to do with the knobs? Guitar only cost NZ$125, phat cat was the most...

Re: who here just loves their single bridge pickup guitars? awesome cheap as chips guitar, Phat cat was a huge success

Re: Best P 90 pickup for les paul?? Had to go the whole hog, the stock epi pots were pretty crappy, new CTS Vintage pots and the cap made a big difference in tonal range, Phat Cat is sublime

Re: Replace pickups in an Epi SG 400? JB and SH2 with push pull bourns pots, very pleased with that combo, still have to replace the volume pots. The 500k Bourns mini pots have 10mm shafts so have to have the holes drilled out.
