Red crackle

[bassetman]

Trial fitting and the some soldering. Mojotone mojotrons and an SD pearly gates.

Well that sounds interesting, I’ll be intrigued to hear what you think of that combination.

Nice. That combination might make some very cool tones.

It is wired like a Tele but with the middle pickup on a push pull. The bucker works really well with the trons especially with the bridge pu. The crackle finish is gorgeous.

That sounds very workable. A blend pot would be another way to wire it but then you'd need to drill a hole for another control.

It looks really good in the photos so it must be spectacular in person.

Good suggestion.

Very interesting combination! Keep us updated as you progress, and please post sound clips when completed.  :icon_thumright:

I think I like the lighter colored neck....it’s short scale.

Could a concentric pot be used instead of another control?

Whatever floats your boat, Brother. My choice would be ebony, but I can definitely see the maple working. The cream bobbin in the zebra pup anchors it nicely.  :icon_thumright:

I like the (medium scale*) maple neck, but would personally put a chrome cover on the humbucker. I find zebra coils often clash with most things on a guitar. I think the chrome would bring the three pickups together nicely.











* an explanation of scale length according to Logrinn:
24” = perfect scale
24,75” = medium scale
25,5” = long scale

It'll sound a lot better when you take them Billy Gibbons strings off and put some 9-11's on there.  As it is, they're so skinny they don't even show up.

It’ll really sound better when the long shaft pots get here. :guitarplayer2:
