.047uf orange drop, I have another value (can't remember off the top of my head) but I don't think it needs it. I may swap it in just to see if I have some time or start feeling froggy. For now, I'm just happy to have it working properly. It's probably my favorite guitar now that it sounds as...

Well, I finally got it fixed and wanted to post the results here so anyone searching in the future might get some answers. I put a new wiring harness in with 250k pots and an orange drop on the tone knob and it's like a night a day difference. The guitar sounds great now, the high end is clear...

That requires buying a new bridge. Any suggestions for a bridge with the same screw pattern as a Gotoh GTC101 (5 hole)?

I would play in another room but the rest of my house has no drywall or electricity. I'm relegated to one room for now. Once my remodel is done, which at this rate will be next fall, I'll try it in other rooms of the house as well as in different locations in this room. Maybe I'll just stick to...

They helped but I didn't really like the Invader as it felt too bass forward and was way too hot, I was fighting feedback the whole time I played with it in. After some internet scouring, I learned how to use my HX Stomp and Reaper to record and I found something interesting. I recorded the...

Best I can do is something recorded with my phone.

Update: I've swapped wiring harness between guitars and no matter what pickups and harnesses (with different pots) I put in the problem guitar, it's always too bright and the other guitars are just fine. I haven't had a chance to test the resistance on the Super Distortion as I can't find my...

Put the graphtech saddles in and swapped out the Super Distortion and ProTrack for Seymour Duncan Invader and Cool Rails and it sounds much better. That Invader is super hot though, damn. Lots of feedback with my tube screamer and the green ultra gain channel. I might try the Super Distortion...

The action is a bit low and the relief is minimal. I noticed there isn't a whole lot of space at the first fret, less than I remember when I initially installed the nut. I may try a different, slightly taller nut. My other basswood guitar has an SD JB and is brighter than my Jackson DXMGT with...

Gonna swap pickups today and see what difference that makes. Swapping pots to 250k will likely happen. Pickup heights are not the same but I set the pickups all the way up and tested, then lowered the them 1/2 turn of the screw driver at a time until I found a spot that seemed to make a...

500k, vol/tone, nothing fancy, .022uf orange drop capacitor just like all my other (humbucker) guitars.

The neck is still a bit bright as well but not nearly as bad. I don't blame you on tapping out. I'm considering getting an alder body to paint come spring and seeing if a different body helps. I'll update when I finally get around to swapping the bridge pickup, hopefully soon. It was also...

When I say the other guitars sound great, I mean relative to this one. I've been considering a speaker swap since before I finished making this particular guitar. The sound clips and youtube videos I've seen with DSL40CRs loaded with a creamback sound great for 80s metal but so do a couple...

When compared back to back with any of my other guitars, the low end sounds pretty much the same. I don't do the computer stuff and I'm only vaguely familiar with a DAW but I don't have a clue what SPAN is.

Marshall DSL40CR. I have another warmoth partscaster, a couple Jacksons, a couple Fender Strats, and they all sound great through the Marshall except for this guitar. I play mainly 80s metal (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, along with various other rock from the 70s to more recent stuff)...
