would anyone on here know how Satchel's guitar are wired?

[cruechick]

im building a guitar (stripping, staining, painting, finishing, wiring,...ETC) I want to make as much like Satchel's as possible, at least sound wise, looks wise its gonna be completely different. Im having trouble figuring out how his guitars are wired exactly. Would anyone on here know how they are wired? I figured i would post about it here since he uses Seymour Duncans

by Satchel I mean the guitarist in Steel Panther.

Thanks!!

If you're talking about a Kramer Tiger Pacer, it's also the guitar George Lynch used.

Official information is this:
http://www.kramerguitars.com/Products/Pacer/Pacer-Vintage.aspx

About the wiring, it says this:
2 Volume - with push/pull series/parellel coil taps, 1 Tone Control with Miniature Three-way Toggle
USA Seymour Duncan JB and JN pickups
"Treble-bleed” mod to retain shimmering highs as you lower volume.

I'm assuming the three-way is the pickup selection.

George Lynch helped establish ESP guitars, and has been with them for ages. He went to Kramer for endorsement. They were purchasing necks from Electric Sound Products. Kramer was unable to build the guitar he wanted due to mismanagement at the time.

He does not use the JB. There is the Screamin' Demon pickup he used previously, but he uses a signature Arcane pickup.

Really the only thing the two share is that Bengal Design.

I've seen Steel Panther live twice, during the Balls Out tour and a few months ago for All You Can Eat. Satchel's tone in person is incredible. That 5150 III is out of this world.

But, all maple body and neck, 2-500k volume pots, 3-way toggle, decked Floyd Rose, and a Jazz/JB set will do you that tone.

Anything else, Russ Parish was an instructor alongside Paul Gilbert at GIT. They are both monster shredders and musicians.

It is not the guitar that Lynch used.

Lynch had a Baretta that was painted by Kline. Single pickup.

The Gibson Kramer Pacer Vintage is an attempt to copy an old Kramer Pacer Imperial. JB and Jazz, each with its own p/p pot wired to go parallel.

Satchel main tiger is a modded reissue Pacer that came out around 2008, that was a little higher quality out of the box.

Best thing to so it to seek out a 'rig report' where he or his road tech can speak specifically to what he actually has going on, as it is not the same as the current one that is made in Korea.
