Extra routing the pickguard is necessary. Both pickups are larger i some dimensions than standard HB routing that is in the pickguard. I'll probably take an old strat pickguard, route it for them and install i a strat to have any idea of their musical properties.

Thanks a lot for the right path. In fact, the guitar i'm supposed to install them looks exactly like the one shown by pabloman (just different cherry finish) and no logo an the headstock. That guitar has been previously fitted with new pickguard and humbuckers but the owner is not happy with...

I've been given for installation quite unusual pickups. Clear covers filled by clear epoxy or similar thing. The humbucker indicates 5,3k resistance while that single coil, don't know if it's a single coil in fact, shows 2,3k resistance. Any idea what pickups are they? Thanks for any info.

Hi As in the pic some posts above i also own the '94 tweed Blues Deville. It rocks that's right but sometime ago a had a chance to play a Hot rod and it surprised me by how good it sounded. That's why i decided to buy one and compare side by side and let one be mine and the other go. I can hear...

Any idea where to investigate? Fender support? Other Fender amps specialized forums?

AutoBat - the one i got is different from the pictures. The knobs description is inverted (as in blues deville) so that you can read it from behind the amp and there is no "more drive" mode switch as in the pictures you show. Not talking about more drive addiction but that makes me think the amp...

Ok, advantages/disadvatages of having that "more drive" mode is one thing but i'm investigating what amp it is. What i think the PCB or even the whole chasis has been replaced by some reason. I hope any of you can help me investigate what i got.

Surely copy pasted description. I don't suffer because of having no "more drive mode" but the reason i bought the hot rod was to compare it 1:1 with my Blues deville and decide to sell one of them. The hot rod is way brighter than the Blues but both are cool. I'm afraid if decided to sell the...

Hi I just received a used Fender Hot Rod Deville 410 i bought on ebay in USA. That auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&hash=item19c0a00313&item=110605894419&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=CWvvZRI2LxR1dtK%252BnFH2NuhQ7X8%253D#ht_848wt_1140 What I noticed is that amp...

That's right. In case you don't want any optical mods to the Strat you need to sacrifice one tone pot. You can either ommit mid (or neck) pickup tone or wire it master tone. I don't think it will ruin Strat's spirit.

Hi I can't record that guitar right for several reasons. Basicly i don't own it any more since it was custom built for my friend. But i will get it for some time for sample recordings soon. You're asking where i put the piezo system. It's in the bridge saddles of Fishman system. It's Fishman's...

Hello Can anyone say what are those pickups? I suspect these are some Seymours but i'm not an pickup expert. Thanks for ideas.

Thanks CB. I read cefully both manuals. What confuses me is the reissue manual says and shows in the diagram the option: 4 Ohm to external, plain plug to main. It's not that described i the original PR247 manual.

Hello I got a used 410 blues deville from mid '90 US made type PR247. The manual http://www.fender.com/support/manuals/pdfs/manuals_elec/guitarpdf/Blues_De_Ville.pdf says you can plug a 8ohm speaker to external speaker jack but always with cojuction with mian speaker jack plugged in. Another...
