Nitefly SA Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 it started out so simple, all i wanted was some comments on my guitar concepts then it turned to algebra then time travel a thread can change winds pretty easily.

Drak Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Not to worry, my non-mathamatically-inclined friend, THIS thread stayed it's course pretty well, eh? As I always say, consider the source, and in this case it seems to ring true inDEED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 ok, back on topic, this is a cleaned-up version of the retroid, ive decided to do the retroid because i think it might be easier to do a front routed guitar for my first one, some specs, a carvin neck (not pictured), bridge-super 2, neck-evolution, brige is a fender style hardtail, 2 volumes, one tone, and a gain boost circuit, then the one switch is a 3 way and the other 2 are another boost circuit ( IM CA-RRRRRAAAAAAZYYYYYY) then the two on the upper wing are different combos for each pickup (full, split,out of phase), i think it will be made out of ash, ok now lemme know what you think now that you know more and theres a better pic, thanks.

JoJo T. Magnifficent Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 i'd miss the internet and video games and coke in more than 8 oz. increments. ← back in the day any more coke than that ine one sitting would mess you up pretty good (that is where the name came from after all). As for the guitar, its looking good, id probly want to change the series/phase/paralell/whateer other wiring config switches you had planed for the fender style sliding switches like they used on the jag. Its simpler and probly cleaner looking to IMO, fits the "retro" vibe aswell. have fun with all that wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 i may simplify it, nock it down to the 3 way and the booster but ill have the switches there any way, just for the look, kind of like hetfield's truckster.

JoJo T. Magnifficent Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 either way it sounds all good. Should be a mean axe when its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripper Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Before you put the caps on the design phase of this (it's looking good) consider putting one or two of your less-used controls back there with your output jack. An uncluttered front is always good and the wiring paths would be shorter. Can you see how much your design has changed over the past few days? It is a good thing!
