    What's with the EMG bashing?

    though i can't say from real experience like an a/b comparison, a higher voltage shouldn't "fatten" anything. but it is supposed to improve the fidelity or thats the gist i get talking to an engineer friend. basically making them even more transparent, but not in a way that would be described as...

    pickup-combinations, noticable difference when mixed

    less inductance is more highs, more is more mids, that's about as simple as i can put it. it is a big part of why distortion pickups sound muddy and vintage pickups are clean. low inductance in the notch positions is a part of the fender "quack" sound. a pickup and a cable and tone control...

    pickup-combinations, noticable difference when mixed

    a big part of the tone comes from the pickups inductance, mixed with the cables capacitance gives a peak. the kinman will have a lower inductence and in parallel wiring the higher inductance coil will have a smaller effect on the final inductance. say the kinman has an inductance of about 1 H...

    How to wire a guitar WITHOUT soldering to pots

    i never felt soldering to the pot was a problem but i have to admit that job looked clean and professional.

    Tele with different neck?

    that's correct. if you use a pickguard, even a standard cut one for a telecaster it will fill the gap under the extension and the extension will cover it from the top. not the best plan if you don't want a pickguard though. even rear routed bodies have a gap under the extention so at a close...

    3d and/or 2D Viewer

    2 problems with it, a guitar viewer thingy would be confusing to customers who are already easily confused. warmoth gets enough complaints from people that can't get it through there heads that it is a parts company not a guitar company. you start showing simulations of finished guitars and...

    bound headstocks

    do those CNC mill's you have have tilting heads? i could see an angle headstock being a problem to cut for a binding otherwise, would need a big fixture to hold the neck at a crazy angle.

    Australia anyone?

    NO! there are only a couple licenced floyds that have steal base plates, this is important not only for tone and sustain but because if the knife edge is too soft it will wear and never pivot freely causing poor tuning and alot of frustration. i had one on a heartfield that the screws to hold...

    Why wire the Ground to the Bridge?

    in japan we have no earth conductor in the sockets, just hot and neutral, now technically neutral is earth but there is not always a way to tell which is which. also some stuff only has 2 conductor power cables even in the states. may also have something to do with something in the way the amp...

    Varitone use with Tone

    a "vari-tone" is hooked up in series with an inductor and forms a notch filter. but i get yer point. now the above sugestions of nixing the switch and going traditional might not be what you want. wiring a cap to ground with an inductive pickup forms a resonant peak, a frequency that has greater...

    Need Wiring Diagram for Dual Humbucker Strat with TV Jones Pickups

    what's to be confused about? black came soldered to the bare wire, the bare wire is always grounded, it sheilds the other wires and conects to the cover and backplate sheilding the pickup, white is the hot and the red/green wires are the series link, running the link to hot will turn on one coil...

    Wiring diagram

    a master tone would need to go after the switch, it would work but would be after the volumes and may behave differently at diferent volume levels. a stacked pot (not concentric) like used in a blend control or fenders tbx control could be wired just like the diagrams with two tones, or a...

    question about dead-ish spots - frets

    how much releif ya got? string height? do ya have a strait edge? a fret rocker? you say it only happens at 17 and 20, not 18 or 19? sounds like you need to reseat a couple frets, 18 and 21. just a little tap should do it with a small soft non marring hammer.

    Warmoth "JagMaster" purchase off ebay!

    seems odd, maybe they thought you were talking about a jazzmaster? jaguar or mustang. a jazzmaster looks like a jaguar but with a 25.5 scale so it won't work.
