NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Buying a fluke just to bias one amp is ridiculous, my 20 dollar DMM takes identical readings to my 15b, except the fluke can't test trannies so arguably had less value to a hobbyist.
The cheapest DMM you can find will do the job fine, even a $10 DSE special.

Looks like a cool build, has a lot in common with my jazzmaster:

I bought a 2nd hand ryobi 3/4HP router off TM for $40 or so, it's still going strong 10 years later.

This thread is astounding me. First it was " you can get a guitar as good as this Suhr for half the price " Now it's " me and my forum buddies know how to make better guitars than PRS " Speechless. I've never played one so wouldn't know :congrats: My point was that the manufactu...

If there's any further doubt, watch this wee vid from the PRS factory: At 5.30. Look at the neck fit process. No Gibson shims needed here. To me that screams 'Our QC is abysmal so we have to make parts oversized then sand them to fit' :grump: Maybe if you were working with aluminium, one of my frie...

I understand it as:

toggle off
standard tele 3 way: N, N+B, B

toggle on adds mid in series giving:
3 way: N*M, (N+B)*M, B*M

a regular DPDT switch can do the job, I did a (vaguely) similar setup in a 3 x P90 guitar based on the Troy Van leeuwen Yamaha. If we number the terminals like so: 1 2 3 4 5 6 connect 1 to the 3 way switch output and a jumper to 6 connect 2 to the middle pup hot connect 3 to the middle pup ground co...

The minimum vol knob should not affect toe down (heel up) so that's unlikely to be your problem. If there was a problem with it the heel down would be above normal pitch. from the EHX site: EXP JACK EXPression input jack accepts a TRS expression pedal connector or a Tip-Sleeve 0-5V control voltage i...

It was suggested to me that using the resistor might result in a loss of output or volume on the bridge pickup. Anyone done this sort of wiring before or have the knowledge to answer whether this would be the case? Using a lower value pot (or adding a resistor) will always result in lower output. I...

If playability is fine then don't touch em, it's normal wear. Doing fret work before you need to is throwing money out the window.

After having a small eye twitch seeing a wiring diagram mixed with a schematic I traced it and it looks good to me

Cool project.

I had a similar predicament, I borrowed a set of plug cutters from a carpenter and made my own. I also made a ton of extra plugs in different woods & sizes for future use.

Yeah, as it is both of your inputs are the same. You want R2 and R3 in parallel for the louderer input. Though, not something you can do with just TRS.

What program did you use for the updated scheme, Eruera? I've tried a bunch, and haven't found anything decent, yours looks good

Seeing such tidy work with unscreened signals made my eye twitch a little
