Re: Got a doozy of a project...
Still got a few touch ups to do, but I got impatient and decided to put her together last nite. She's mostly done, doesn't look all that different from the mock up pics. Oddly enough, when I strung it up, the intonation was very nearly dead on, except for the g string being a few cents sharp.
Plays surprisingly well, action is pretty low, no buzzing. The only problem with the frets at all is at the 23rd fret on the high "E", it frets out when playing on the 22nd fret. Easy enough to fix.
Perfect home for the EMG's, too. Wired as simply as possible, just a volume and a switch. I put the 85 in the bridge, because I like the 85 better as a bridge pickup. Never tried the 81 as a neck pickup before, I like it. Nice and crisp.
Dig these funky tuners. These were on my old 55 Junior when I got it, been in a box for over ten years. They are really old Schaller tuners. I didn't know this until yesterday, they actually have PLASTIC housings :shock: Never even heard of that before :laugh2: Anybody ever seen these before?
