  1. ive taken apart a bronze series assasin before and i think it had knobs like these

    http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Knobs/Dome_kno...es.html#details

    which have a little thing that you actually screw out. usually the knob doesnt screw off of the pot though. if its like a strat or les paul knob you can just wrap something under it , like a shirt, and pull on it. some of the older guitars are harder to get the knobs off, but i dont understand how the could install the pot/knob unless they come apart.

    pictures would b nice

  2. What do you guys think is the most ergonomic guitar u have ever seen. in terms of playabillity and ease of use when sitting or standing. i know that most of you hav seen THE ergonomic guitar, im talking about other guitars.

    personally i think that ibanez jems are very ergonomic because of the bigger horn areas near the lower frets.

  3. though far more difficult to make and you will loose the pickup/driver possibility with single coil neck pickups.pete

    would it be possible to adapt a normal humbucker to a humbucker driver, using the same technique as the single coil/driver?

  4. tubaboy, i think that you could technically put it anywhere. but i believe the best results were in the neck position but its easier for the magnet to pick up the strings, and you need to keep it away from other pickups. i would put it in the neck pocket and preferably dont use a pickup in the middle, but if you need one in the middle, put a single coil, a humbucker would be to close to the sustainer. you do this because i believe it has something to do w/ EMI. i might be wrong though so i would wait for another responce to your question.

    while im here i would like to ask why we are trying to make a humbucker sustainer? whats wrong w/ the single coil. i think that the humbucker version looks way cooler. i like the look of avalons by the way. i know that you guys hav been working a different humbucker styles, but why? is there a major flaw w/ the single coil? i dont think it hums or anything does it?

  5. heres some cool guitar that hav a knob situation similar to urs.

    coincidentally both are rick nielsons

    this one shows that you can hav a lot of knobs, and i atleast think it looks pretty cool.

    one tone and one volume for each pickup i believe. and a on/off switch for each of the six single coils

    this is rick's five neck and it only has 3 knobs. so you can do a simple wiring setup no matter how many necks.
