Acousticraft Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) I did the final assembly of hardware and fitted the pickups and completed the wiring. I put the low E string on and plugged it into the amp and voilà it was all working perfectly and even the selector switch was working the right way correctly. I fitted everything thru the "F" hole and tightened all the nuts and then tested it again to make sure it was all going. Then I fitted the control knobs strung it up an without setting the intonation and played for about 2 hrs. I am really impressed with those Stew Mac humbuckers as it has a nice clean bluesy sound. I guess this is due to the maple back and front. It is a lot more responsive to touch than my other solid body with the over wound pickups and has a lot more bass response. The pictures don't do it justice because of the light from the flash. I was beginning to despair a little as the odd thing along the way didn't work out as well as I hoped but now I am a happy camper.

Doeringer Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Is that my Vox sitting next to it? Really nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Thanks guys. Yes an AD50VT Valvetronic which I really like. Incidentally some of the amp models like Boutique clean and Bassman that I don't use on my solid body just rock with this thing. Those dirty channels also sound meaty and gruntier as well.

GregP Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Awesome! Love 335-type guitars. I'm ol' skool... and I wish you had put chrome pickup covers on there. But other than that, it looks fan-freakin-tastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
