    just do a joint where the 2 pieces of the top connect. that would work well, as long as its very tight.
  2. rubber314chicken
    yes, along with pine, homedeopt, venner. and fake
  3. rubber314chicken
    that one on the right is really cool looking
  4. rubber314chicken
    yeah, that is how it is on my guitar, and it works perfectly.
  5. rubber314chicken
    not sure, I'd have to think about it, but my gosh that is gonna be a pain in the ass to work. I don't think you can.

    I believe the right most leaf is a hard maple or a borad leaf maple, and the one on the left appears to be a red maple. Pictures of the trees would help. I do think they are all maple. here are some links: http://forestry.about.com/library/treekey/...ey_id_start.htm http://www.oplin.org/tree/name/commonname.html

    make sure that the leads are solidly connected to the 5 way, and not shorting out to ground.
  8. rubber314chicken
    I'm not sure what effect it has, but If you do it, any pickup will work (just not a humbucker) for any angle up to about 15°, as long as the pole pieces are under the strings.

    the top is neck tone, and the bottom is middle tone. if you have bridge and middle selected, the middle tone will also affect the bridge, and for neck and middle, which ever one is lower will be the tone control.

    but ground loops don't add noise. Its an internet myth. I didn't believe that at first, but plug in your guitar, and touch 2 metal parts that are grounded together with a wire, and no noise will be added, however it is a good habit to get into of not making them
  11. rubber314chicken
    I like the last, but I'll have to agree on making the control area smaller. its too over powering.
  12. rubber314chicken
    for shaft and tip, I mean on the input jack. the shaft (really the sleeve, but I forgot the word) is the longer part, and is grounded. the tip is on the end, and is the hot. the casting is the bottom of the pot.
  13. rubber314chicken
    nope, the pot would just work the same. a 500K post is like a 250 K pot that goes to 12.
  14. rubber314chicken
    no. you need to ground the pots. solder a wire to the casting, and make sure the shaft is grounded, not the tip.
  15. rubber314chicken
    nothing is shielded, the baseplate is grounded, but nothing else is until after the phase switch. Ill try removing the baseplate ground. -yeah that fixed it, thanks
  16. rubber314chicken
    I wired up my guitar with this diagram: http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/WDUHH3T2204 and it all works fine, except the phase switch, which acts as a kill switch. I've already checked for shorts, and I can't figure it out.
  17. rubber314chicken
    yeah, I'm a little slow. and I usually don't look at names. I remember people by their avatar.
  18. rubber314chicken
    I wired them up in a maple guitar, and they sound very nice. they are very warm. I will post sound clips when I finish fixing my wiring (I literately finished it 5 minutes ago)
  19. rubber314chicken
    WHAT!!! no. there are 3 types- soap bar and dogear. dogear have tabs that you mount them on. soapbar are rectangular and have screw holes between slugs 1 and 2 and between 5 and 6.
  20. rubber314chicken
    the 5 way would be humbucking in all positions. it would sound more mellow, and bassier, and not very fenderish. here is the switch you would want to use: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...gaswitches.html
  21. rubber314chicken
    did he accidentally switch the hot and the ground on the input jack?
  22. rubber314chicken
    yeah, go to home depot. they are in canada.
  23. rubber314chicken
    that page I linked to says that thinner wire, more treble.
  24. rubber314chicken
    I think you made a mistake in the gauge having an effect on the treble/bass becuase as wire gets bigger, the inside area increases by the square of the increase of the outside distance, so a smaller wire would support more treble than a larger wire. and here is a website I found: http://www.guitar-mod.com/Merchant2/mercha...Category_Code=P
  25. rubber314chicken
    yeah, no problems. all it does is add a LITTLE resistance, but when we are talking about 8,000+ ohms, you woln't hear a difference (as is adding 3 ohms of resistance.)
