Re: Crazy Custom Shop Ideas!
2 single coil humbuckers, it's been done, not with those exact models though. Esp Japan put some out like that for one artist if the band le' arc en Ciel, if I remember correctly, you may find it on Japan discoveries website, or just use the pictures of it as inspiration. The coils have mini toggles. They've done tri-buckers and quad buckets with this, but again require mini toggles to split.

I may be wrong I'm going off memory, but Esp Japan makes a quad bucker and tri-buckers guitar.

You're right it's Gazzette actually, I got the name of the guitar confused with the band. At least how it translated. I hadn't looked it up in months though. I don't listen to a lot of visual K. I've heard Gazzette ounce through J-Melo and it wasn't for me. I still respect anyone who likes it.

Re: Crazy Custom Shop Ideas!
I see! You're absolutely right! A lil'59 with an SSL-5 for that triple coil! Interesting how it's slanted too. Although hmm... Wouldn't it hum? The lil'59 is a humbucker in single coil size, when you add on another single coil in series, it would probably hum, right?
Yeah I never really got into Gazette either, heh. They're good but something about their songs just doesn't do it for me.

Re: Crazy Custom Shop Ideas!
But regarding Gazzette, yeah I just can't describe, but I can't really get into it either. I'm trying to get back into Japanese Rock. I tend to like most genres on the Rock spectrum as long as its energetic with a good melody, but I tend to prefer more hard rock than metal, I can listen to entry level metal though, like the just barely metal stuff.
Visual K/Visual rock is hard to place as a genre it can be hard rock/prog rock/punk/heavy metal/other metal genres etc. One of the reasons s I never got into it.

It depends which coil is left active at the split, the magnetic polarity can then be used to buck the hum or just face the opposite polarity of the single coils towards each other.

Does the same, but with lace hot gold. I would like to try hot gold with Holy grails.

Re: Crazy Custom Shop Ideas!
LACE! Now that is intriguing because Lace are already noiseless! I'd love to try that too!
I think Visual Kei is difficult to place because it's not a real genre... the term was coined for how the bands LOOKED as opposed to how they SOUNDED. X Japan and Luna Sea were both considered VK bands and one does power metal while the other does alternative rock...
I used to be really into quite a few bands from Japan. X Japan, Luna Sea, B'z, Loudness...
You ever checked out a band called Galneryus? They have this song called Angel of Salvation... epic to say the least!

Re: Crazy Custom Shop Ideas!
But yeah, the Lace opens up more possibilities as you don't have to worry about matching opposite magnetic polarities.

I'll try looking into them. Yeah, visual kei was originally a stretch fashion, so visual kei was used to make the band's that dressed that was into a pseudo genre, which makes navigating the actual genre a lot more difficult, but that's just, my repeating your point to express why I need help with this, but yeah, I'll try checking out Galneryus.

Re: Crazy Custom Shop Ideas!
And here I am... Again. I tried it.
Well, not exactly. I didn't care much for the hotrail duo so I swapped the second hotrail and all the other junk for a set of Joe Barden single coils in rail format. Here's why.
1: ceramic mags. All mags are now ceramic, all across the board, so there's no stronger magnet that can drain the others.
2: looks. Sorry, a hotrail plus for example SSL5 would look off and I don't care for Lace's.
3: the sound. I wanted REAL stratty tones, from Hendrix to John Mayer and this set delivers, especially in this guitar. Also, I wanted a superhot humbucker and a PAF kinda tone on a dial. Voila. This is it.
The second tone pot can switch the 2 bridge pickups in a variety of settings: both in series or parallel or each individually. The series setting sounds huge, really tight and HOT. Almost like a black winter. Really. Despite its 36K muahahaha. Goes to show: DC reading says nothing.

To begin with: no partsocaster
. I started with a flamed maple neck.
Spotted ebony board (22 frets, compound radius, 25.5" scale). Ash body, walnut top. Maple pick guard. Speeded locking tuners, gotoh trem.

Wow great work! Awesome craftsmanship and good job on the double sc/hb. I put 2 scs in my hss hb slot and I'm loving mine. How are you liking how all that wood sounds?? I used to sand professionally and I'm really impressed with that work!

Ah, I see! In that case build him a neck and tell him to resin cast the rest...

I'd love to be able to have a single coil sized JB and SC sized tone zone on the same base plate to vary up my sounds
