Middle aged bedroom rockstar with small man cave and garden shed for tinkering with/building guitars when I can. Also fumbling my way through recording/video editing software on a budget, coz I'm tight and don't see the need for a Ferrari when a Fiesta (albeit a fancy one) meets my needs Overly fancy intro sequence commence........
Chibson James Hetfield Electra Flying V Copy Upgrade - No talking
A couple of before and after sound comparisons. A chap I know and have done work for in the past received James Hetfield's Messengers book as a gift, and subsequently bought a Chibson copy from ebay, and brought it to me to ramp it up a notch.
Things wrong with this.
Tuners were crap, would not stay still, ( nut was actually ok )
Some fret protruded from fretboard, some didn't make it to the edge.
Frets rocked back and forth in slots.
Frets were all over the place in terms of height.
Fretboard had been stained with something, that just lifted off after a brief wipe over.
Jack kept cutting out
Lot of buzzing - Selector switch not ground.
Not enough screws in scratchplate so when pulling jack out, ...

Brief history and sounds from a G4M kit I was given almost 3 years ago. Lot of mistakes and lessons learned along the way. Brief overview about the pics : Standard kit Turquoise stain, looked crap, sanded back. Binding channel routed. Walnut veneer applied. Resin pour to act as filler and top coat, failed completely. Resin scraped off. Maple veneer bought, softened, flattened and applied. Chann...
Tanglewood Tomkat with Enwhistle Pickups Before/After #1
Просмотров 232 месяца назад
Quick clean, crunch and lead comparison. Tanglewood guitars used to be sold out of Cranes in Cardiff. Around this time Alan worked there as the tech. Flippin' genius I distinctly recall chatting about some of his projects and learned a neat wiring trick from him. The stock pickups were dull, fizzy, high output ( around 15K ) and quite frankly a bit naff. The Entwhistle's aren't as hot (12.5K/7....

Tanglewood Tomkat fitted with Entwhistle HV58+ Pickups
Просмотров 672 месяца назад
What feels like something of a homecoming, tone/tech guru Alan Entwhistle pickups in a Tanglewood Tomkat that was likely on sale at Cranes in Cardiff when he worked there. This is a short scale, all mahogany body, so is dark and moody. The stock pickups were muddy and fizzy, so a pair of hot PAF styles did the trick. Plus they have gold pole pieces..... bonus. Will have a few more before and af...
Repair & Upgrade of Rockwood LP ( who we are naming Ruby ) with profits going to charity. No Talking

Just some simple chord progression through the pickups...... plus a little bit of widdle at the end. All first take, and first attempt at using plug ins on my DAW My previous neighbour, Helen ( she's lovely she is ) contacted me as her husband, Mark (sound chap) had been gifted Ruby (not her original name) a very neglected Hohner Rockwood LP style. The poor thing only had 1 tuner, no nut, wreck...
Budget Tele Mod & Upgrade
Просмотров 183Год назад
Took a Fazley budget Tele copy, and added a few mods / upgrades to give it a character and voice of its own. As usual no prep single take video as am always short on time. As a budget instrument, £70 approx, it didn't take too much after a good set up and some tidying up of some fret sprout/sharpness to be a good playable instrument, but I cant resist tweaking. Some info: Guitar - Fazley FTL218...

how would you compare them to the prs pups?
just got one of-these, the toggle switches are goosed but the soldering is so messy its hard to see what goes where, also cant tell if they're 2 or 3 way switches as they have no detent left in the switch. Dont suppose you took note of the wiring when you did yours ? you made a fantastic job of the refinish, i'll just be leaving mine white
Heya Bud. I will root through my notebook over the weekend and phone for pics and any sketches, but I know they were a 6A DPDT on/on as I found a receipt in my email archive, similar to these : www.3waycomponents.co.uk/product/toggle-switch-mts202
Am pretty sure it was along these lines, but with a push/pull on the tone for the HB www.strat-talk.com/threads/strat-h-h-h-3-dpdt-toggles-on-series-off-on-parallel-1-tone-1-vol.571533/
very interesting. I've been playing with alternative humbuckers in an SA36 and noticed that Ibanez wiring is a bit different as are their push-pull pots. No doubt the pots are designed in conjunction with the True Duo pickups.
Saludos, acabo de conseguir un humbunker true duo bucker, quiero instalar en una guitarra pero no encuentro el diagrama, ¿me podrías decir como dejar las 3 bobinas funcionando del microfono a la vez sin la necesidad de un push pull? Quiero que me quede 2 conectores uno positivo y otro a Tierra. Muchas gracias por su tiempo.
do you happen to have any wiring diagrams? specifically which wire is which? i'm looking at installing one but there really is little to no information out there, still!
Hi, I'll root out my notebook and see what I scrawled in there, give me a couple of days
Do You find they wiring diagram? I put a hot rail in My Sa260 bit i cand find the correct cables for aplit both pickupa
@@jhonny2708 Hey, I went through my notebook and couldn't find the wiring diagram I had made for the PRS. I did find a bunch of my notes about the wires and colour codes. I will take a few pics and see if what i have scribbled can make sense
I have this guitar now 😀🎸🎸🎸
Oh wow, I was wondering what Mr Thunder was going to do with it. 👍👍
Not keeping it but saying that you’ve done an excellent job with it and I’m confident some aria collecter will want it it’s really strange when I mentioned the refurb Video to mr thunder he claimed not to know anything of the guitars history think he was a bit shady on that one Lol any way as I said excellent job on it Wish I was a bit closer to you always potterin around with guitars 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸
'promosm'
Now I want to hear ibanez with prs pups🎉
If only i kept the SV i took the Tru duo's out of....🤦♂
Hello... I saw the video and I liked your way of explaining. I have an Ibanez SA 260 fm 2006 Indonesia and it has the true duo bucker pickup. I bought it but the cables are badly soldered, and there are 7! Could you send me the connection diagram please? I send you a big greeting from Rosario Argentina!
@@dann1966 OK so there are 7 wires, 1 bare (ground) and 6 from coils Coil 1 6kOhm, which is the first half of the humbucker and has hexagonal pole pieces - black and yellow wires Coil 2 6kOhm , which is upper half of single coil - white and blue wires Coil 3 6kOhm, which is lower half of single coil - red and orange wires Bare wire - always connect to ground When you connect white and black together, blue to ground, yellow is hot output of 12kOhm humbucker When you connect white and orange together, blue to ground, red is hot output of 12kOhm single coil I believe this is how this pickup is intented to work, and you can alternate between these modes with DPDT switch - like I did (I own True Duo Humbucker but my guitar is different and I dont know what switch is on your guitar) and works perfectly, when I push potentiometer that has this switch it alternates between humbucker and single coil mode. Let me know if this helped
@@Bodzioxf thanks so much friend!!! Greetings from Rosario, Argentina
@@Bodzioxf It has the same switch, 9 pins, I racked my brains trying to figure out how to get the humbucker and split coil to work together with the middle one or whatever. It has a nasal and high-pitched sound and at one point, bridging the gap between a high-end Prs signature guitar and this one, but with a Mesa amp, which I don't have, it sounds like the sound of Santana. And it surprised me. When I install them well I will comment better.
Beautiful custom bro!!!
Cheers dude, I dont like matt finishes in general, but this one was in such a state that I had give in an overhaul.
was just about to send my rd 227 in for a set up. glad to have found this video, thanks!
No problem. I found it had a really nice tone, good projection for strumming but not to muddy for single notes
@@bntguitars2207 yea I agree, really nice
