Oho! Now that is a real find Shimmilou. Great spot, I would never have seen that. I'll have a look later today and if mine are the same I can get on with the install. Thanks for the input, it's much appreciated. I'll get back with results and keep things up to date infowise.

Yep, that's what I'm after. Not looking for coil tap options, just pickup reversal. Edit: Sorry, just twigged the question mark. Duuuhhh! :confused: I want to be able to reverse the wiring on the neck pickup to put it out of phase with the bridge a la Peter Green mod. You have to have at...

Hi guys. I have a 2017 Bernie Marsden, the last year with the US 245 pickups I believe. I was interested in setting it up for pickup reversal with a pull pot which was one of the original ideas BM had in designing the guitar but which wasn't carried through to the final product. However...

I know this is a contentious issue Tone-y, it always stirs up a fever of lovers and haters. As I said I certainly didn't mean to point fingers at anyone and laugh, that's not the way to go forwards with issues like this. And, luckily, it has generated only a small amount of sensibly...

"Shielding your cavities (with whatever method) is only about reducing RF (radio frequency) interference." No, I know that you may only claim that that is what it does Tone-y but many people post making claims about reductions in hum too, perhaps not here if the members are better informed but...

As I managed to find some plain steel black screws as well as the silver stainless ones at a few pence for a job lot I stuck to using them in the first instance for the moment. I'll wait to see how they respond to my sweaty playing and decide whether to change to stainless or just replace them...

And the final finish. It's not a terribly clear photo I'm afraid but it's been packed with wood filler and I am using longer screws to bite into clean wood beyond that. It's been touched up with a tad of black nail varnish just to make it look neat as it is completely covered by the jack plate...

I know this is a contentious issue and I don't want to start a war but just something that is worth considering on this. The copper tape method always used is overrated no matter how many claims of "coal black silence" it seems to create. It can help with some high frequency sources like...

Done it! The Dremel is your friend. ;) I first wondered if I could somehow put a slot across the end of the screw stump with an idea to screwing it out using a very small screwdriver. Belay that one, it was too hard and too rusted in. So it was on to the Dremel. I took the classic approach...

Hi guys. Right from the start let me say, I'm a sweaty player like you would not believe! Within half an hour at a gig I'm dripping with sweat right down to my arms and hands and that makes for a slick and acid guitar which I have to clean very regularly. My PRS is a 2017 Bernie Marsden which...

Here is a pic of what I was trying to describe. It's really easy to see how well it fits. The depth gauge I used is on the end of the main shaft ringed blue. I know there are luthier tools to do this already but if you have a micrometer knocking around it makes sense to use it. They can be...
