So, I made this prototype guitar (with help). It's a Thinline Tele with Adeson Brian May spec Burns Tri-Sonics. I did the three on/off switches and three phase switches and single volume and single tone pots. I want a more elegant solution. If I can reverse phase any two pickups, I won't...

I always like Brian May's sound and I wanted a Red Special but I never had the cash to get a good one and I didn't want to settle for one that wasn't that good so I decided to make one... sort of. I bought a '69 Telecaster Thinline body from an eBay seller. It was a reproduction with...

I've been searching and searching and I simply cannot find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to wire my Strat with a five way switch so I can get Bridge, B/Middle, Middle, M/Neck and Neck positions. BUT, I also want to use a push/pull pot to add the Bridge to the Neck and M/Neck positions...

I posted earlier about the Crate VC5212 for which I traded a Peavey bass and $150 cash. Cleaned up and re-tubed with Russian 6P14P-EV (military spec EL84s) and JJ ECC83S tubes. That deal was just a bit in my favor by about $100 (my estimation). Then I snagged the 1968 Traynor Bass-Master...

Day before yesterday, I saw an ad on CL and went to check it out. I found an old Traynorass-Master Amp head with no head cab. It had a pretty crappy three prong cord badly wired leaving the death cap AND they had cut the end off and spliced a two prong end on it, lol. I talked the guy down to...

Hello. I just today bought a Washburn Custom Shop guitar. I did my ritual of cleaning, polishing, and setting up the guitar and I popped the Duncans in it and saw the neck is a 59N and the bridge is a TB11L. I know nothing about Duncan pickups except that I put in a set of Duncan Jimmy Page...

I'll try it this way. Does anyone know the color codes of SD pickups? I know all about the wiring schematics but I need a schematic of the pickups themselves. Thanks, William

Hello, I'm trying to match the color codes from my Tom Holmes pups to the color codes that SD uses. Here is a schematic of the Holmes pups:
