Members GuitaRasmus Posted July 20, 2007 Members Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well, I finally solved the issue with the squeeling bridge pickup - like I expected, the problem was the tele bridge with a humbucker rout - it made the whole assembly resonate, thereby giving feedback. Anway, here it is, in all its glory. Dimarzio custom shop Steve Morse bridge, Dimarzio minibuckers, Fender US single coils, Planet Waves auto trim tuners, schaller 3D-6 bridge, unknown tele body (solid alder) and Cruiser by Crafter neck.

Members sylvesterlowery Posted July 20, 2007 Members Share Posted July 20, 2007 I think there's enough room for another single coil between the 'bucker and the middle single coil! J/K, Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitaRasmus Posted July 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sylvesterlowery: Where on earth would you put that?? FUBTAG: It sounds awesome. It has more mids and less twang with this new bridge, which is just what I wanted. It is great rock/hardrock/pop guitar, but there very little tele about, except for the shape.

Members GuitaRasmus Posted July 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 Sylvesterlovery: Ah, now I see - I thought you meant between the minibucker and the middle pickup. I suppose the upper part of the pickup could fit, but the flange underneath, where the wires are attached prevents it. However, I have considered replacing the middle pickup with a P90. What do you think? Is there enough difference in sound between that and the minibucker to defend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitaRasmus Posted August 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, I couldn't resist it, and now I've exchanged the middle singlecoil for a P90 - it sounds great, especially combined with the neck singlecoil. Also I've changed the switching to this: Much more logical and easy to switch onstage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitaRasmus Posted August 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 7, 2007 LOL... Thanks, I guess. I think it's become a very cool and personal guitar - and it's got the added advantage of being just about impossible to use without knowing it - great for keeping the people that wants to come onstage at bay.

Members littlemilo Posted August 7, 2007 Members Share Posted August 7, 2007 I like it. That's some very clever switching. Does it look like a rat's nest under the control plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea. I'm not a great solder by any means, I can get it to work, but pretty it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the Swiss Army Guitar! That is really cool and looks to be very versatile. Now go play the {censored} out of it and make some killer music!

Members GuitaRasmus Posted August 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks guys! Yep, I'm playing it alright. It plays onstage quite a lot, I play semi-pro in a covers band, and it sounds awesome through either my ENGL Blackmore or Marshall 30th stack - a great versatile guitar. And the killswitch is just too much fun. Btw, the Steve Morse pickup is just about one of the best sounding humbuckers I've ever used - kind of like the tonezone, with even more punch, but much more open. Kind of hard to describe - try it on his signature EBMM - I think I've found "my" pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
