mammoth guitars

I saw that but I'm not sure how to interpret that. I'm not sure which one of those wires is red white or bare.

For the pickup, the red is the hot, bare wire to ground and tape off the white. The red hot wire corresponds to the north start wire in the diagram.

1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way switch wiring:

Power supply caps usually have a bleed resistor on them so they will discharge within a few seconds of turning off the amp. With it unplugged you will not be at risk for AC voltage shock.

This is really cool. I have the Spider3 150W head with 4X12 cab. I want to run two 4X12 cabs but I can't find a flat front line 6 cab as it seems they only make a slant cab.

This might help:

You may just need a better switch.

Sounds like some switch bounce is occuring, where it makes intermitent contact as its being pressed until fully depressed.

Yeah it seems people assume that because you built it it's for sale or something. I play one at a gig and people are just randomly like "so how much do you want for it?" as I think to myself, "umm yeah I never said it's for sale".

I mean people don't just randomly ask people if they want to sell their PRS's or taylors

Perhaps they also assume you can just build another one.

Hello and welcome. Post some pictures of your project.

I will be painting my Guitar and was wondering is this it: I need Grain Filler, one can, do I need Sand Filler? Re Ranch Paints, 2 cans, then 2 cans of clear coat. What type of clear coat should I get, this it other than sand paper, etc?

You will only need grain filler for open pore woods like Mahogany. What is the body wood?

Guitar amps typically have a speaker that is designed specifically for guitar - if you have a cab model enabled on the pod there may be too much level for certain frequencies causing the boomy sound. Ideally it should work well with the cab model disabled and allow the guitar amp to color the sound with it's amp/speaker.

The strings could be vibrating in the nut slot - did Warmoth supply the nut on the neck?

Guitar ---> Tuner ---> Distortion ---> EQ ---> Noise Suppressor ---> Amp

sorry I forgot to mention that. I am getting a new neck. I'm not that stupid to cut the existing neck. I'm still doing some research on the neck. I know Warmoth sells the 25.5" neck with 24 fret extension, but that still means I have to move the neck pup back, which is not a concern for me. I might just keep it at 22 frets either way, the stock neck that I have has got to go. I will make sure the neck will fit into a Ibanez Js-100 body before I buy it. I'm in no rush to get this project finished so I'm being really careful on what I'm doing.

You can do yourself a big favor and have Doug at Soulmate make you a neck for that body. Its only about a $25 dollar difference from a Warmoth tilt back headstock style neck and he will level the frets at no extra charge. And you will probably get it a lot quicker.

Who is carrying those pickups?

You can use striping or pinstriping tape. It comes in different widths and colors.

I suppose this nut is setup with minimal slots as a starting point to file from versus drop in use like a graphtech pre-slotted nut.

If the nut has a flat bottom you may want to take the material from the bottom of the nut vs trying to file each slot. Just place sandpaper on a very flat surface and take a little at a time by sliding it back and forth over the sandpaper and test it.

Won't quite work if the problem is that the slots aren't deep enough to hold the strings properly.

True..but a pre slotted nut should accept a 10-46 string set without a problem, well for a graphtech one anyway.

Hey MK, I would say he just has one piece flipped over wrong because the grain looks very simliar but not consecutive.

We will help however we can. We recently quoted someone with similiar specs it could have been you PoorMan.

I doubt you quoted $175 to drop a 3A(you grade on a 5A scale if I read your site correctly) curly cap on one of your $70 prepped African Mahogany body blanks?

Is that too much?

Something else to keep in mind. Your note range for open strings is 82-330Hz but the range of a 22 fret guitar is 82-1174Hz up to D6.

If its a dual humbucker configuration you can use an F spaced for the bridge and standard for the neck pickup.

Assuming its a single volume/tone with a 3 way switch configuration, Just move the tone wire from the volume to the neck pickup connection of the 3 way switch. You will still have tone control on the neck or middle switch position but not when the bridge pickup is selected.
