How do humbuckers sound when paired with another pickup as out of phase (say in a Baja Telecaster circuit?). Do you get quack, in phase, noise or some combination? Thanks, Heft

If you've read my posts you know I love kill switches. I have a few guitars with them and love to use them in my playing. I'd like to make a Les Paul type guitar and I'm wondering if I need one Shadow Kill Switch on one volume pot or one on each volume pot. In other words does it route...

Hello, I know there are a lot of these threads out there but most people say to get one at Harbor Freight. Unfortunately I live in Canada and I can't find that store here. I can find them online at Amazon. Is there a better place? My current soldering iron is a not great Amazon find. Thanks, Heft

Hello, I'm wondering if I can sub a tapped Seymour Duncan single coil for a coil split humbucker on a 5 way super switch. Anyone have any idea how much work this would take? Thanks, Heft

I have a 7/8 body I was working on then quit half way through. There's no bridge route. If I wanted to install a baritone neck on it Would that be possible? Just measure scale length and install the bridge right?

I'd like to add a piezo pickup to my telecaster. Is it possible to do this with just one pot that dials in the signal and maybe a separate toggle to turn on/off a preamp? Thanks, Heft

I'd like to install one of these kill switches (as seen here) . They mention that they cause a popping sound when used on clean, is that par for the course? Do all kill switches do that on clean?

Hey, Does anyone know if its possible to replace a short tele bridge like this...

Hey! Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Esquire circuit hooked to a 3 way toggle control for 2 pickups? What I would like is to apply the Esquire circuit to two pickups essentially. I have a Warmoth body with the routes for an upper 3 way toggle and a telecaster control plate. Thanks, Heft

I'd like to use recessed ferrules with a contoured heel, would these be the screw to use? https://www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/screws-nuts/10-x-1-1-4-33-3mm-neck-plate-mounting-screws-set-of-4/ Thanks

I am looking at using a Musikraft 24 fret, 24.75" neck on a warmoth body. They have told me it will work, but I'm sceptacle. My measurements show there will be about 1/4" off at the 12'th and 3/8" over all difference compared to my Warmoth 24.75 conversion necks. Will this matter? Heft

Hey, I've used this to much success on swamp ash, anything special for closed grain woods like poplar or basswood? Thanks, Heft

I'd like to make a HSH guitar with pickup rings on the humbuckers. I'd like to use a 24 fret neck. Do you know if there's room for this? I know that the 24 fret option squeezes the pickups together a bit and that the pickup rings may overlap the single coil in the center. Heft

I'd like to have a pickup hidden under the pickguard I can activate for a secret "boost" effect. I'm thinking I would use a SSL-1 Strat bridge pickup for this in the middle position of a Telecaster. I would use a pickguard with just a strat neck pickup hole. 1. Is this viable? 2. Am I right...

So I have this idea of wiring a bridge pickup on a guitar for extra volume and (hopefully) an over dub effect. I'd like to hear the bridge pickup twice if that makes sense. I was wondering If I used a second output jack in the spirit of the Payolla Telecaster. I wouldn't go all the way and use a...

I'm considering routing in a trem on my hybrid strat build, the other option is the virtual jeff (https://www.fomofx.com/) I wanted to get some opinions. I see the advantage of stability with the virtual jeff as well as possible sustain. Going with a traditional bar I can get a more...

To continue from this thread, https://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=34353.msg473979#msg473979 I got the graphtech stuff today and I'm looking at what I need to do on the body. I was going to do some heavy routing on the back and use a back plate battery but I think I may just try...

It looks good overall and was a steal. I plan to do some work and make my own contoured heel and increase the neck access, otherwise I would have had it painted. The only issue I have is that it looks like there was a plug put into the neck pocket. I would have called Warmoth about this, but my...

I'm working on a guitar and using a Hoxey aluminum neck and one of the special neck screws was damaged in transit. I'd like to find another. However in the situation that I can't, has anyone ever used 3 neck screws in a 4 hole Warmoth body? Link to the neck...

Anyone have experience with passive the setup linked below? Looking at using a pedal style preamp. https://www.solomusicgear.com/product/graph-tech-ghost-pickup-system-passive-volume-kit/ most people I talk to say it makes more sense to use an onboard preamp. My issue with an onboard preamp is...
