The Yngwie's (YJM) sound pretty nice... I've got sound clips on my site. http://www.middletoninv.com/middletoninv/rg/ The Air Norton and Evo 2 are a little hot, but they sound good now that I've lowered them. The YJM with some PAF types I'm sure would balance out nicely... David

I finally got the switch! It was sent by pack mule...  :laughing7: So I've now got the guitar wired up with all the bells and whistles I want and I've got pictures and sounds!!! I still need to drop the HB's. They're overpowering the YJM... http://www.middletoninv.com/middletoninv/rg/

I mostly use the tab on the top, but I've also used the side of the pot... I like the tab on the top because I can use a small clip to hold the wire down and then just hit it with heat and solder real quick.

MFD is the old way of writing microfarad if I recall. It's now written as uF, but the u has a tail on the leading edge, kinda like a backwards small upper case u... So you have a .05 microfarad capacitor that's rated for 200 volts DC input.

You can... Closest I've come when I was in a band was going right into moby dick so my drummer could get off, er I mean solo... EVH used the trans-trem on his steinberger in a couple songs to change keys... I don't see why you couldn't drop d for the same type of effect....

I've got a d-tuna on my RG 370 and I'm going to be putting one on my hotrod. I'm using it with the tremsetter and the setup is a pain in the arse... Once you get it setup it works great and you can quickly get a drop D. It is a little finicky, but it works for a night onstage. Two guitars works...

The B and E strings are the same gauge and are tuned the same, the others (E A D G) have a thin and thick string and are tuned an octave apart.

If it helps here's a pic of my Epiphone DN 12-string bridge.

I put everything together minus the YJM and played it some and I'm starting to warm up to the evo2. It's too bright for my tastes clean, but does pretty good with distortion and a midshift on the amp. The AN clean is wonderful, but a little thick distorted for my tastes. I tried to record it...

Well this sucks... The SuperSwitch is NA in all the local stores so I had to order one. I need the switch so I can split the stack on the YJM in 2 & 4 to match the coil tap on the humbuckers. So I wired the coils together and hooked it up without taping the stack and the volume dropped WAY off...

Just thought I'd share my recent pickup changes / additions. I finally picked one for my "hot rod" which is a Warmoth Soloist body, Original FR, 89 Ibanez rosewood neck with a single humbucker and single volume knob. I was looking for a Van Halen type guitar without being a VH clone. After...

I'm very partial to the Fralin's... They're in my 73 LP and I LOVE them... Lindy's great to work with. I decided to do the Jimmy Page wiring after I ordered the pickups and I asked him what he thought and he had me send them back so he could wind a set that would work better. I'm sure they're...

I started with an old Ibanez neck and I added a Warmoth poplar Soloist body. I plan to run a single HB, single volume, coil tap and a Floyd Rose tremolo. The neck is rosewood over maple and I'm looking for a vintage 80's rock sound, specifically an early VH sound. On my list are: Super...

10's on my LP and Fender 150XL's on the other electrics... .009 .011 .015 .024 .032 .040 Not too different from a regular 09 set and I used to run them only on my Ibanez, but I got lazy about buying so many different types of strings...

Ohh Ohhh Ohhh....  :blob7: QUANTUM VIEW UPS EMAIL!!! It's on it's way!!! :toothy10:
