Surely I am making this harder than it is.  Please confirm, correct or clarify my thinking below: I've replaced a few sets of Strat pickups but have never worked with wiring push-pull potentiometers. I have a PRS SE (H/H, 1 Vol, 1 Tone w/ push-pull coil split). I'm replacing the stock 85/15 S...

I'm good for at least one.

What is the radii of your neck?  The LSR nut is designed to work with a ~ 9.5" radius.  Compound radius is fine as long as the radius at the nut is 9.5 - 10"

Thanks.  After thinking about it further, the middle pickup would have to turned around.  "Regular" Strat single coil pickup windings terminate on one side, so there's no way two could be placed together with little or no gap unless the middle pickup is turned around.  Exceptions to this would...

http://www.fendercustomshop.com/features/last-waltz/ Not a particular fan of the music or documentary but the guitar has piqued my interest.  Looking for feedback on something similar.  Not interested in replicating the finish which is cool but prohibitive for me.  I'm mostly interested in the...

What pickups have you looked at?

My hands are "tone suppressors".

Good combination.  I have a Jackson Dinky and a Charvel San Dimas with the same pickup arrangement.  Ideally, with a Fender (F-spaced) bridge (fixed or trem/vibrato) you'll want to go with Trembucker spacing but sonically, it is nearly impossible to determine a difference between a trembucker...

Slightly off topic but a warning about linseed oil; It is extremely combustible so please don't leave any soaked rags in an airtight container, especially indoors.

Is that quartersawn?

To drive this thread deeper into minutiaeville… I prefer orange drops for the reasons mentioned plus they’re not crazy expensive.  They can get bulky so locating them in a small cavity could be a challenge but they usually have long leads that provide some flexibility in positioning them.  Just...

Noted.  Thanks.

I didn't think a line level signal would be strong enough for anything unpowered.

Thanks.  I haven't pulled the trigger on powered speakers yet, so I'll try using the PC's external speakers via the sound card.

I have a TASCAM US -2x2 interface that I am using with a Windows 7 PC and either Guitar Rig 5 or Amplitube 3.  I can get audio from the TASCAM via headphones.  Although the sound quality won't be great, I would like to get audio from the PC's speakers.  Am I missing a setting or adjustment...
