  1. This is my favourite Axe-shaped guitar, I hope It can be useful for you! http://www.mcfguitars.it/axe.htm
  2. It just looks that way, but it isn't even big enough (the pu touches wood)...
  3. In fact now I'm trying to complete my second guitar (acustic) and I've made the neck (I have some problems with the fretting work... )... It sounds beautiful to me! The bridge pickup is very versatile you can play heavy chords and licks with the humbucker, you can have strato-like sounds with the north coil or tele-like with the south one... Bridge+neck pickups combination is sweet for clean sounds and arpeggios even if sometimes that's better to use the bridge only because this combinations sounds too bassy... Last but not least the neck pickup: This was a real surprise for its fat and sweet sound (just think about the sound of an old cat playng blues!), it's a p90 perfect to sound almost everything; It only has one flaw: it's a bit noisy, but that's normal for a singol coil (compared to an Humbucker..).. Thank you for your compliments!!
  4. This is my first hand-made guitar, I hope you like it! Specs: Body: mahogany (sipo) back, Cypress top (very nice sound) (smaller than a standard LP) Finish: Satin Tuners/Bridge: Gotoh Nut: Tusq Neck: I bought it for a ridicolous price (E-bay) but that's very very good (nice finish, very confortable and playable) Pickups: Di Marzio Evolution (bridge), Seymour Duncan Phat Cat (neck) (It sounds just like a FAT CAT!!) Electronics: 1 Volume pot/ 3-way Switch/ 3-way miniswitch (to control the bridge pickup: I can have the two coils separate or the humbucker) Strings: Ghs 011-0.53 for a Low tuning!!!
  5. I just need a cad pattern for a standard tremolo, but the one i have (I posted it before) doesn't seem to work whit the hispshot because of the different distance from the intonation centre to the pivot holes...
  6. The point is that i need a template to route the tremolo "home" and I have no idea how to do it; this is the reason why I was trying to use the only one I have.. Thanks!
  7. Hi guys! That thing is driving me crazy... I'm planning my second guitar (It will be a prs 24) and I want to install the hipshot tremolo; I couldn't find anything but that it fit into american standard strato tremolo route, so I thought that I could use the template of the wilkinson tremolo (that should fit into tre strat too) (this is the CAD ). I compared the cad to the hipshot installing instruction (they are calculated for the 25.5 scale) but they are not the same... Does anybody know something more??
  8. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP !!! I wired it this way: It doesn't work and I can't figure out why....
  9. First I have to say that you made it clear , but why "my" diagram won't work? My diagram and yours looks very similar in my (maybe stupid) opinion(I posted the pic knowing that wire colours weren't the same as the original pickup); I found it HERE and i thought It could work...
  10. This Looks Great!! How does Phat Cat sound? I'm going to put into my tele project too...
  11. Think I get it... This should be the diagram The spdt on/off/on toggle switch should work that way: 1) One coil 2) both coils 3) The other one What do you think? Will it work? Will it sound awful? Thanks for your help! P.S. Is this the correct switch?
  12. At this point I think that I didn't understand a single word of yours and I feel just a LITTLE confused even if you say that it is simple... I'll think it over but I'm almost sure I won't understand anything but a drawing (I know English but electronics is driving me crazy because I don't understand very well) Thanks and please don't loose your patience even if I know that I'm a pain in the ***
  13. Is it corret? Cause if I'm not right I can't understand... What about a DPDT on/on switch instead of the toggle? I ask this question because i can only find 3 way toggle switch and in this case I will have a useless position where nothing is wired... Does dpdt on/on switch works with diagram?
  14. It will be a great thing for me! Thanks for everything!
  15. So was I right saying that capacitor probably are connected to the phase switching? What about this way? series split parallel with phase But in this case I'll need again to ask someone to do the complete diagram for me ... I'm a real newbie!!!
  16. Thanks for your help! I didn't know what to do after tone pot removal... Weren't capacitors necessary to phase/out of fase selection? Sorry but I can't understand what you mean by saying "wire a SPST switch to short the black wire to ground", I'm not very familiar with pu wiring! Thanks!
  17. 1)Neck 2)Neck+Bridge in Series and Out of Phase 3)Neck+Bridge in Parallel 4)Neck+Bridge in Series 5)Bridge The miniswitch should make positions 2-3-4-5 work with only one coil of the bridge pu... Is it Possible or just a dream? Thanks for your Help!! I forgot to say that I'l have evolution on bridge position and phatcat on the neck position, but I think you had already understood!
