I struggled a lot but managed to wire a blackwinter set. The key was 3-way with A1,2,3,0 B0,1,2,3 terminals order. Splitted both pickups with push-pull on each knob. Ps: BLACK WINTERS ARE AWESOME
Hi guys, I can't remember how to correctly wire this type of switch with coil split and 1 tone, 1 volume. One brief explanation or directions would be enough. I am too anxious to play and can't get this right since yesterday, sorry if this is a repeated thread.
Seems it's right and was my mistake not checking this. The passive does not come with pick up rings. I followed tisca advice and direct monted the pickups in the wood and seems good enough, thank guys!
Hi guys. I bought an Ibanez Rg8 and a set of Black winter's. To my great surprise, the new pups DON'T HAVE THE FRAME. That's how it was supposed to be? How I can install the pups now if I can't find a store selling the frames and springs?
Cool, the Goliath seems even more a better deal now. I saw that Ormsby last batch was shipped some days ago and you had one pre ordered hehe. Would be nice if you could post some samples and make a little review of the guitar too, if it would not bother you to do so. Also, the bridge system...
Hey, thanks man! I really liked the low end, quite full sounding. The strandberg is 28" on the 8th string right? The tuning is in those clips is? I am wanting to get an ormsby Goliath since they have nice payment plans and tune the lowest into an E1 but was worried that the scale would not be...
Well, though I don't have an ERG i never liked the idea of just putting lower strings, why not go all out and experiment new things? Relearn the instrument by changing the rules. I want to tune into an open chord, probably A minor to have a much simpler scale and chords patterns and more...
I got tired and stopped working for the weekend. Will resume messing with the wood friday. Luckly enough the 5 pieces of the neck glued light tight, can'nt imagine the headache to level 4 contact points more. Funny enough, i took what seemd a lot of wood and when i was measuring it...
Thanks for the input guys, As for the fan i got on that measurement just looking into fret find 2d, so it might not be as good in reality as it seemed on my computer screen hahaha. As for wood working,even though i never tried doing a guitar (that's why i said it was my first build) i am...
seems the issue is my lack of skill then. I brought a number 4 since the body wing is only 50 cm long and the planer is 24 ,5 cm seemed a good idea when i first thought about it
The only reason i am building such a model is because i cant afford to buy one. My country has too many taxes when importing goods and i would have to pay upfront both the taxes and the product, which sums up to the price of a popular car. Tools and wood on the other hand are very...
I am having a lot of trouble to get the body wings perfectly straight to glue it. I am building a neck through model and the neck pieces i managed to get perfectly glued, no space between the strips of wood but the god damn body wings i can't get straight enough ,it always has light passing...
I Decided to do it, and make my own guitar. It's gonna be a 26 - 31" 8 String shaped like a strandberg for ergonomics. -5 piece mahogany ,Purple heart and ivory wood neck -A wenge fret board -Red cedar Body. Going for 2 Lace x bar and maybe a single coil between them and a pull-pull knob for...
Well i measured it and it gave me 5,45 cm. Unless the metric tape i am using is wrong. that's the measurements. Maybe i didnt see one cm? That is more probable. But still , how does it feels a neck so small like 2 1/4?
I am building a guitar i saw that agile 8 strings pendulum necks are only 2 1/4 width on the nut. My six strings is 2 1/16 , a les paul model. How close are the strings on this model of the agile? Is it relatively confortable? Some tips about optimal width and overhang would be apreciated
Which seemed better on note definition and ''mellowness'' ? I particulary prefer softer sounds ,like using neck pickup for leads for a more sweet and full sound. I suppose the death bar has a higher output and more midrange i am right? Probably going for 2 x bars it seems.
