That's a nice guitar. I don't really care for the look of the pickups. I'd rather just have gold covers to match the rest of the gold hardware. I like everything else about it. I vote "Texas Tea". Black Gold sounds a bit to generic to me.

I had a Dimarzio Chopper in the bridge position of a Strat and it sounded terrible. I now have a "Super Distortion-S" and it sounds great. I have 2 guitars with a Fast Track-1 in the neck position and they sound decent.

Are they the same brand and model of pickup? The K-ohms are not the only determining factor in a pickup's output.

And I would never want to prevent you from having that. All your heroes probably had nitro guitars because that was all that was available back then. They were all using what was modern at the time. Having an old vintage guitar is cool, but faking an old vintage guitar is just...well...fake.

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to build their guitar (unless they're asking for opinions), but making a new guitar look old is just plain FAKE, and I hate fakeness. I also don't like things that are damaged (which includes finishes on guitars). Do you beat the hell out of your automobiles...

There's nothing cool about that. It's the result of inferiority. I really don't understand why some people like decay & degradation.

Cool. I am in the process of building a new pedalboard that is completely independent from the pedalboard I use with my "big rig" (rack system with Marshall 4x12 cab). I too am keeping it simple with power supply, tuner, wah, overdrive, distortion, chorus, and delay, while leaving space for one...

I would never paint any guitar with nitro. That's 75 year-old technology. That body looks good natural, so why cover it up?

The radius should be whatever the fretboard radius is on a straight radius neck.

Now you just need a Stop to go with your Start.

Adjusted action, pickup height, and set intonation today. It actually sounds really good, but it needs fret leveling.

Yeah, pine is a cheap wood, but it actually sounds great.

Wow, you don't mess around. Yeah the black pickguard looks better. 'Looks great. :cool:

Okay, I guess I should have done some research before creating this thread. The information I've seen says that if I change the C10 capacitor to a different value, I can reduce the extreme highs. "If you like the general sound of the DS-1 but are looking for less highs and more of a tonal...
