That looks like one of those Airheads Xtreme candy belts and it doesn't look like it belongs on a guitar at all. I love it.

I have basically exactly the same Tele, except with a plain pickguard and it's MII Squier instead of Fender.

White Dog Eggs posted:Doing an awful job is one thing, but it's still got to work. I >think< I've got it figured out, but I'll have to use push/pulls for the coil shunts and use different toggles for the pickups. Trouble is that in order to fit all that on I'll probably have to make a new pickguard, nrrrrrraaaaghhghgkjhkhhkfhjgjdffd. There is something about mixing active and passive electronics in a guitar thats setting off a red flag in my memory but I can't quite place why, it might be to do with volume when you switch between the two.

Dewgy posted:you got any good tips on getting a midi guitar working in logic because i'm a total dumbass and can't figure out how to get my rock band mustang doodad to work for it What's it doing? If it's like mine you have to make sure it's listening to all six channels from the guitar, not just channel 1. Du dunno how to deal with that in logic.

I think I need to clean myself up, that's loving perfect. The fact that it's on a cheesy old teisco just makes it fantastic. That is proper awesome. Fumble posted:There is something about mixing active and passive electronics in a guitar thats setting off a red flag in my memory but I can't quite place why, it might be to do with volume when you switch between the two. When the active circuit is on the volume is going to be loud as gently caress, pure noise until it's turned down. There probably is a way around it, but I can't figure it out.

My girlfriend just suggested to me that I could replace the normal strat jack plug with an altoids tin. Aside from some additional routing, I can't see any downside to this. It'd even give me more room for pots.

Dewgy posted:dog eggs knows nothing of dulcimer pegs That's a damned lie. When you die your skin rots off and exposes bone, bone is good for tone! Skin is a tone killer. In an ideal world we'd just be bones covered in nitro lacquer. I guess that'll teach me to just grab the first link off a yahoo luthier group. Pm'D You another website!

Hey WDE or anyone else, I was wondering, if I put 2 or 3 pickups in a guitar, each with individual volumes, is there any serious reason that I would still need a selector switch? If I wanted a pickup off, would rolling it's volume down to zero be the same as unselecting it via a switch?

You're probably not going to be able to change from your rhythm-tone to your lead-tone fast enough with a setup like that. But if you don't need to change that fast it could work. Still seems kind of cumbersome though.

Pull sent the signal to ground, it's a lot quicker than winding the knob all the way down.

Rob Chapman (The white guy with terrible dreads) uploaded a video today where he and Lee Anderton try to buy a guitar for around £300 then spend another £300 modding the thing to find the perfect modified guitar within a £600 budget. Decent video but I spent the whole time watching it thinking, "But does it have TONEZ?" WDE, where's the cost figure for the awful guitar at the moment?

Thanks guys, yes hadn't considered push/pull pots. I was just wondering if such a guitar layout existed. A bit of searching brung me this: http://www.puresalemguitars.com/models/sad-fester/ Pots appear to be neck volume, bridge volume, master tone, with no switch. What's up with that name though. Ugh

When I switched to the Axe-FX I thought 'Ah-HA no more monkeying around with the vol/tone knobs to clean things up I'll just step on the MIDI box' but nope, that sumbitch reacts to knob manipulation exactly like any of my tube amps do, so yeah, I'm still as much of a knob twister as much as I've ever been.
