That's exactly what I said too. Who the hell uses a bare wire as a hot? Even if it does work, the way it's wired, doesn't that mean the pickups aren't grounded? Whether wiring it that way works or not, please get us a picture or something. That's the craziest 1V 1T wiring I've ever heard...

If you're doing a 4 pot control, what the above poster said works just fine. The signal goes from your pickups to the pot and then to the switch, enabling you to have individual volumes. Your post says you're doing a 1V 1T setup though, so instead of putting the white to the volume pot, the...

That looks great - once the redness fades it's going to match the Tolstoy really well. Portraits are so hard to do and so easy to mess up - but they can really pop when done right. пока всё хорошо!

I think it'd be difficult if a company decided to expand their product mix width and put pressure on you to support it. Like if a guitar company you loved starting making amps that you hated and told you if you didn't start playing them, you were done as an endorsee. I don't know if companies...

Same here. I once had an entire drawerful of JB/Jazz sets that I refuse to use. I would highly recommend checking out the Duncan Sentient for neck. It's one of those hot PAF styles, but it covers a lot of ground without being boring - I found it much more sonically alive than a straight...

Personally, I love the Roland Cube series. I've had one for 7 years, and it's always held up through little jams or stripped down shows, and certainly for bedroom volumes. The Cube has multiple tones and effects (newer versions have more effects, a tuner, and a more practical layout), is very...

I got Size Manipulation. ...probably nothing else needs to be said. As far as wacky superpowers go, this is it for me: I'd prefer the razor sharp sting of sarcasm.

That is a wonderful green. Music Man really knows their finishes. I like how you took the pictures against a ghetto wall. I would've been worried about it falling over... Happy new guitar day.

Even though it's probably hotter than what you're going for, the Evolution 7 is definitely worth a look if you want clarity, especially in basswood. I should've never gotten rid of mine (or the UV it was in). Since you're looking for something with a tone chart similar to Cold Sweats, maybe...

I don't think there's going to be much of a difference if any. All the ESPs I've ever had used the same pots/jacks that came with EMG sets. I know I've had sets of EMGs and Blackouts that came with identical Switchcraft jacks and those pots that say TØ so I'd assume they're the same thing -...

That finish is the one of the best ideas ESP has had - fancier than a solid finish but not as obvious as a graphic. Enjoy that thing - ESPs are rad.

I have a BFR JP7 that I've used with an Aftermath Bridge/Miracle Man Neck, and a set of Painkiller 7s. I absolutely fell in love with the Aftermath in a JP - the mids gave that thing a thickness and thunk like no other combination I've tried yet, although I eventually got rid of the Miracle...

It's a virtual invasion of Canucks! I just moved from Edmonton to Victoria last month. Going to miss the Oilers this year...but not the snow. Welcome to the boards.

Bare Knuckle also makes an EMG sized housing if you feel like trying something different. Miracle Mans are kind of their take on an EMG. There's a world of pickups out there.

If you've got a factory EMG route, it won't work with DiMarzios at all without some kind of routing. I have an X2N 7 laying around and I just held it up against the EMG-sized Blackouts I have in another guitar. The pickup ears on the X2N stick out quite a bit farther than the borders of the...

I never thought they were a particularly low-end heavy pickup, either. They're an interesting take on blades - more versatile and multidimensional, and not overly thin. They remind me of old Symphony X tone...which I guess would be EMGs, which another poster said. I often played jazz with...

I think the noiseless route is a great invention, but I can't help but feel that you give up some of the authenticity and tone of a true single. Of course, there's an aesthetic part to that too - that's why I've never been into double bladed or side-by-side coil singles. However, if you're...

Je me souviens Que né sous le lys Je croîs sous la rose. That's about all the French I know that isn't off a cereal box. Thanks everyone for the welcomes.

Wow. That's a looker for sure. Is the neck partly made of a darker wood? I would love to see a picture of the back of the neck. Something about the way it jives with the lighter part of the neck where it meets the body really looked good to me. Happy new guitar day.
