get the metal for the plate, tool it then have it powdercoated, it is so small they can include it in some other order

Red flake is for carnival rides.

all day, I haven't been able to put my finger on whats been bugging me about the flake...

with that statement... it becomes crystal.

I wan't bad ass and obnoxious. not overpriced and underwhelming.
 
Simple question, And I'm already pretty sure it will work.

Push-Pull pots as on/off switches for pickups.

basically used to hide the fact that I have the guitar triple-switched.

also... means less holes in the body which is always a plus...

yea, that'll work.
 
Can I put this 'stupid question' here?

How is it possible to put a combo amp or amp head and cabinet that is very loud, in another room, and have the guitar playing in your home studio, and not have a long guitar chord ruining the sound of the guitar and possibly some time lag? You see the pro studios do this all the time, but I'm wondering how you'd duplicate this in a  home studio setting without the expensive balanced input and output DI patch bays...

Do you run two DIs, with a long balanced line in between, plugging the guitar cord in at one end, and the input into the amp at the other? :help:

Buy a low-capacitance cord.

We are talking a  length of over 20 - 30 feet here.....just runa low capacitance guitar cord? (I was going to mic the amp in another room with a balanced line so getting the sound into the computer won't be issue, it's more about removing the beast to another room should I need to crank it!)
 
I run a 18 foot chord that cost me a arm and a leg( and 2 backups that were around 35 or so), never have found a longer chord I liked, So if I am going be more than about 12 feet from the amp I use a chordless, and I payed way to much for that. I have found with the modern chordless units that I get little of the digital sound such as we got 10 years ago, however it is not the pure signal so many guys prefer while recording

It's when you go those kinds of distances that you really need low impedance cords. But, you don't have to pay the $150 some of these dingbats are asking for them. You can get a 30' run for $40 here.

Do I have to call in an order for a warhead neck? or can I mail it?
I'm thinking about my phone bills... :icon_scratch:

I think, Andreas, you can email some enquiry requests to them to clear up what you want, but the actual order would have to placed via phone if the warhead option can't be selected via a neck builder program .
 
There's also a "notes" (or something like that) section when you check out, where you can specify stuff not in the builder/showcase-options.
 
stupid wiring question here...
I just replaced a broken tone pot (it just didn't do anything at all, think I fried it) with a new pot.. the original was a linear but the new one is an audio pot.. (which I thought could be used for both vol and tone)

it turns out that I now have 2 volume pots on this guitar.. is it something I did wrong with the wiring, or could it be the pot?
 
It's something you did wrong with the wiring. Either that, or the capacitor is shorted from too much heat, or a lead is touching something it shouldn't. Still your fault! <grin> Pictures would help a lot.
 
bollox! that sucks..

I checked it and everything looks wired correctly per this diagram
http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=3lh_1v_1t_5w

I used a fresh cap ( a big ass orange one)...
 
draw a wiring diagram of how you wired it and post it please

the difference in the pots is not how they are wired, but how they control the signal, a linear pot has a different curve than a logarithmic because of how our ear hears sound.

The diagram looks perfect. Too bad that's not reality. If it were, you wouldn't have a problem. We need something that looks like what you actually did, or there's not much chance of telling what you did wrong outside of wild-assed guesses. And it doesn't matter which cap you used or what color it is. If you overheated it, it may have shorted internally. They're all prone to do that if they're abused.
