  1. Has anyone tried Diesel "Texas Style" pickups? They are Korean made Alnico strat pickups and are just as cheap as mighty mites... Just wanted to know if anyone has bought them and what they thought of them.
  2. Just wondering if anyone knows of where I can buy copper foil or sheets for shielding my guitar. I can't find anything online for Australia. I know some people use aluminum duct tape for shielding but I was thinking of doing as good of a job as possible *but still for cheap!!
  3. Oops ok here it goes. Neck and mid in series and/or neck and bridge in series. Neck and bridge in parallel.
  4. I can find a 3 way (4pole) rotary switch locally and wanted to combine it with my stock 5 way strat switch. How would the wiring differ from this?? (http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/lp_custom_wiring_schematic.pdf)
  5. Pot 16mm 250 kOhm SG/Lin ( 200mW 200VDC Spline 18 Teeth Pot 16mm 250 kOhm SG/Log (A) 100mW 150VDC Spline 18 Teeth This the description of the pots I could buy from Dick Smith (An aussie store) I thought guitar wiring was AC not DC?! Am I just confusing myself? Can someone verify if the above pots would work fin for tone/vol on a strat.
  6. Don't suppose you drew up a schematic for SSS strat?? I had seen the schematic for a blender at http://electron.tailfeatherz.com/c21.html and had thought that you could use a dual gang pot and still have a master tone control. The only problem is that it seemed as though you would get 100 series and 0 parallel at one end and the opposite at the other with 50% of each in the middle. That wouldn't be good with a strat cause you would still want the traditional single pickup sound too. However it sounds as though this could be done with the Pan pot. I just don't want to jump into that without a schematic since this is the first time I will be wiring a strat!
  7. http://electron.tailfeatherz.com/c21.html Has anyone done this mod? Can you let me know how it worked out? Any links or suggestions for other Blender type mods would be appreciated! Thanks
  8. Would mini tone and vol pots add enough room to make the difference? I am wiring a pickguard from scratch.
  9. But does it sound good? That was more what I wanted to hear about...
  10. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this out and what they thought of it.
  11. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Vintage-Yamaha-Standard...1QQcmdZViewItem "If you win it you will get good lucky" buahahahaha I can't believe that they are making copies of copies now. LOL. There are "Grecos" for sale on his ebay store too. Great price. Too bad shipping is 185 GBP (which is what, over 300USD?)
  12. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Piece-Strat-Pickup-C...0QQcmdZViewItem Here are some gold single coil covers. They look ok in the picture but I think that they would be plastic with a gold type paint so don't know if they would stay gold or not. Let me know if you get something like this. I was curious about how they look in real life!
  13. www.ormsbyguitars.com Standard Wiring Kit - "Strat style" - Includes 5-way lever switch, jack, 3x 250K pots, 1x .050mf cap and wire kit $45.00 (+12 for shipping) Oops, maybe the guy in HK wasn't so overpriced after all in comparison to Aus! Ah well, he still lied to me with his claims that he gets charged $35 per 300g for shipping. I think I will just buy a mighty mite loaded pickguard and take out the pickups and get a nicer colour pickguard too (and wait forever for it to get shipped here from the US).
  14. Sorry, the key piece of info I forgot to mention is that I live in Australia currently. I figured someone would know of a store that I could just walk into to get potentiometers. It is a fairly common mass produced item that shouldn't need to be purchased online. I have looked at Dick Smiths and a few others but they don't have the proper shaft size for the controls. Or alternatively the tips for soldering on to don't have rings.
