I always thought it was called a "Skunk Stripe".  :icon_scratch:

Ernie Ball / Musicman uses a similar paint. They call it "Mystic Dream". Were I  too actually paint a guitar I would seriously consider ALSA Mirrachrome, or maybe one of many other types of weird paint ALSA offers. Samples -->...

Here's your stink'n reply!  :icon_biggrin:

I like everything about the "Teloist'  except the name. There's a reason they called it the "Soloist" and not  a "Stratoist". How about... Melodist Serenader Hatchet Grinder Pulverizer Decimater Annihilater ...or my personl favorite... The Chinchilla Gorilla

Sweet!  :icon_thumright: What year is that quarter?  :icon_tongue:

Get the big one and use a "Power Attenuator".  These connect between the amp and the speakers. They allow you to crank the amp to get that sweet, sweet tube saturation sound without blowing the windows out of the trailer/house/refrigerator box, by controller the speaker volume. You loose the...

I just tried and it doesn't log me out.  :icon_scratch:

The real winner part of this deal is the turd shaped pickup mount.

Yeah, I checked just about all of EMG's wiring diagrams, and all of them required a capacitor unless it had some sort of tone shaping active circuit (i.e, Expander and Presence Control) which themselves employ capacitors.

If you look at the "Product Data Sheet" linked on that page (diagram 4) for the set you will see a capacitor.  http://www.emgpickups.com/downloads/wiringdiagrams/strat.pdf

Here'e the circuit board from EMG DG-20 setup: It has at least 8 capacitors. Mostly .1uF (.1uC) .

1 is all you need.

It  was on the Musicman wedsite. You could look here:  http://www.emgpickups.com/downloads/wiringdiagrams/Humbuckers_active.pdf Seems the EMG folks like .1uf capcators.

I think you should bolt it all together, string it up and check string height. If the string height at is okay, I'd leave it alone.

I'm building sort of an Musicman Axis Super Sport clone, so I found out which capicitor they use and ordered the same (.022uf). Simplistic,  yeah, but it works. Hopefully somebody else here knows a bit more on how different value capacitors affect tone.
