    Sperzel Sound Lock Tuners are available at Specialty Guitars
  5. 1guitarslinger
    IMHO it is worth considering Sperzel. They are a very precise design, having one hidden stabilizer pin, and are the originals that Schaller later copied. They are American made by a small company with fantastic customer service. And for these reasons can be more readily had than Schallers.

    I'm kind of helping to hijack my own thread, but you guys are right, David's guitars are really sharp.

    Without being able to see it, the best I can do at this point is to suggest double checking your wiring...something's not right.

    Certainly he must have meant a JB in the bridge and a 59 in the neck. SD pickup covers are available, and not too difficult to install. The covers do not need to be potted, but it is best to to apply 1 layer of electrical tape to the tops of the bobbins where the cover comes in contact with them. This will eliminate any feedback causing vibration.
  14. 1guitarslinger
    Agreed.

    Sorry, I didn't look at the date. I just noticed that a lot had been written, but that your question had not really been answered. It does seem that this board can be a slow mover. It is easy to post on a thread that is a yr or more old. Again, my apologies

    The lower the value of the pot, and/or the higher the value of the capacitor, the more treble that will be rolled of, or the "darker" the sound. And yes, the tone control still has an effect even when it is turned to "10". The higher the pot value, and/or the lower the cap value, the less of this effect there will be.

    You can also have a look here. http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo...chematics.shtml That is where this one came from... http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo...ol_1tone_5w.htm

    I agree with crafty. I installed quite a few EMG's back in the 80's when many guys wanted THAT tone. I never cared for them as they sound "fake" to me. Very hard to beat a Seymour Duncan JB for your application. OF course there are other Duncans that are hotter if that is what you are after.
  22. 1guitarslinger
    Sounds like you are basically talking about disconnecting your tone control. You can sure try it and see what it sounds like as many players have done that from the 1980's on. It may be too bright, but then it depends on the tone you are wanting. Going to a 1 meg Vol pot might be too bright as well. BTW, how are the Pearly Gates working out?
  23. 1guitarslinger
    Yes it can be done quite easily. But with an American made or style 3 way. Maybe not onthe Asian switches. If you have not already received help, contact me and I will be glad to help you with it.
  24. 1guitarslinger
    I'm glad I could help ;-)

    If the wiring is correct, I would suspect a dead pickup. Get an inexpensive multi-meter from Radio Shack or where ever, and check the resistance of the pickup. But check all wiring and solder joints as well.
