i'm using a tune-o-matic. i left better than 3/4 of an inch between th pickup and the bridge saddles.

thats what i wanted to hear.... ive cut the pickup holes out already. the neck is almost sitting against my truss rod nut and the bridge is anlged pretty darn close to the saddles ...3/4 of an inch away. i didnt know what angle to use so i just went with a gut feeling ... not crazy steep maybe 10 degrees. i will post pics after the paint goes on. would a sustainer need a battery on-board? i dont want an active circuit

this guitar is still being made. maybe i should get it all strung up and try the different sounds before i commit? i'm trying to plan the wiring so that i make the right size control cavity. is there any reason i would absolutley need two volumes or tones? i'd rather just the two knobs and not four. thanks for the responses!

i was thinking that.... i dont have three separate humbuckers though. the motherbucker in the neck position is basically two humbuckers in one ( 4 coils: two stacked hums). Does that really amount to a neck and a mid? What about phase and tapped settings?

im building a guitar. i 've built one successful instrument.....a P-bass copy that turned out really well (heavy as hell though. i shouldn't have used padouk!) that one was simple because i just copied one. this is the first time i ve done one from scratch. im making a six string ....gibson-ish body style in ash with a Fender scale length. I bought Pickups from kent armstrong (one Motherbucker and a rail type single coil-lookin stacked humbucker...HR1R for the bridge position) basically three humbuckers. the sound possibilities are endless i imagine...in/out phase, combos, tapped, etc. I dont need a million selections and i want to keep my switching to a minimum. i just need three good tones.... one bassy/thick, one hot to cut through for solos and something interesting for a clean. any suggestions on how to wire these buckers? cheers, woodtiger
