Check solderings 1st. If it was okay till now, it might be either a bad soldering that came off or the pot's spoiled.
-
As I'm on topic, what about a band pass filter? Wouldn't it be nice to get some wah-like sounds? Or a twin-T filter... though that should be active circuit yet.
-
Yea, that dampens the tone a bit, am I right? 'Cause neck is something like a bow, so if it's not solid enough, it's got just too quick vibration, while the body's still a stiff, solid thing there. I just tried to think it over...
-
Wow Saber, now someone who knows all the answers.

The worlds oldest guitar

Sustain, huh? -
LOL, thanks bro, so I've already put 100 useless posts here.
-
Of course you can, but wouldn't it be nice having a control over the pickup's gain right on the guitar?
-
Yep, but the easiest way if you wouldn't use any pickups, thus you don't have to hook anything to the output. Yep, 1 humbucker at the bridge is a fine thing, but I'd still use one single volume pot.

Wound 3rd's are okay, and on a 24 3/4" scale they've got a bit less tension so you can bend 'em quite well. -
That's another wonderful guitar, Drak!
-
Now that's a good one Drak!

The pics are here, at his site.

WOW! So it means solidbodies are actually hollowbodies in a tricky way. Good ol' mahogany coffee table of mine, I see your destiny...

What about a cover of Jerry Reed - The Claw?
-
Yea, Wes totally right, if you're at high gains, you can't get clearly focused notes from the neck position, there's too much vibration of the strings for that, too large amplitude.
-
Nice! So you're schizo too... it's cool now I'm not alone... or am I?
-
BS. My pic doesn't show up, sorry.

Yellow. That's okay. Non-blue ****.

Well I've found another full maple from that Hungarian luthier, it's a picture of that:
-
Yep, that's possible, but that way you won't be able to get those twangy single-coil sounds. But would be an original sound indeed. There's a guitarist Tátrai Tibor who's famous here in Hungary, he's got a custom made full maple strat, with three Casio pickups (LOL). Picture below. Well, that's got something sparkling sound and I can't say that's anything bad.
-
The problem is the body, if it's full maple, without sound chambers, you're gonna get a huge emphasis in the mid trebles and trebles that's undesirable. That means you're gonna get those trebles distorted even at a very clean setting, and due to those highly emphasized range at the highs, you'll lack bass. (unbalanced treble - bass ratio, which can't be handled by the amplifier). Listen Rickenbackers - they're made of maple BUT with sound chambers (thinline or hollowbodies), and they still sound bright enough to get that famous jingle-jangle sound. This is my 2 cents.
