Re: New Mockingbird before and after pics
Cuz ppl always ask. Heres the control lay outs...
Bich:
Front knob Master Volume
straight behind that is Preamp Vol
straight behind that is Master Tone
the knob to the left is Preamp vol and to the right is Rhythm Vol
standard 3 pos p/u switch
the group of three switches is preamp on off pramp on off and then phase
the group of two switches are coil taps and the chicken head switch is a 6 position varitone
the mockingbird
Front knob is Master Vol
behind that is Preamp Vol
behind that ton
3 position p/u switch
single mini switch is Preamp on off
and the group of three is phase switch and coil taps and then again is the chicken head 6 pos varitone.
I know after hunting these down over the years and finally paying an arm and a leg for them, youd think i was crazy if i disconnected all that stuff. well, i did. in the bich it deteriorated the sound and in the mocking bird it all just got in the way. But i love the way it looks!

I like my archtop but I always thought all the knobs and switches were pretty neat looking. They all play and sound awesome. THe scale is 24.5.
I don't have any pics of the control cavities connected but i can take some disconnected.

Looks much better now. They do look absolutely gorgeous, I'd kill (at least a fly) for a red US mockingbird.
How's the sound different now? Are you satisfied?

Re: New Mockingbird before and after pics
The DiMarzio's actually sounded a lot better than I thought once I got a set of 10's on it. I think it was set up with 9s maybe even 8's they were very twangy and didn't hold the tuning so well. The high E and B would go out when I bent the strings. I actually got used to the DiMarzios during the week I had them in there so when I changed em out for the Duncans I had to get used to them. Now that all is setup as far as pickup height and intonation I'm very satisfied. The DiMarzios had a very compressed and over driven sound to them, whereas the Duncas have a more linear over drive tone and more chunk without losing the definition. I'm very happy.
