    Are Push Pull Shaft Pots generally functional without compatible Pups?

    Hello again, i've seen the link, the pots are 500k and they are ok for humbuckers. With simple words, this is a "normal" wiring for two humbuckers guitar like your SC 250: - 2 volume pots 500k, logarhytmic type, NO capacitors; - 2 tone pots 500k, linear type, a capacitor .022uF value for every...

    Are Push Pull Shaft Pots generally functional without compatible Pups?

    Hello Reynewan. 1. Yes, you can use your old controls with new "\m/ pickups" normally, but without splitting. 2. Here you have different choices. First of all, yours two unused push-pull pots are linears or logarhytmics? How much is the value of original tone capacitors on your guitar? I hope i...

    Black History Month: Let's Talk About Black Guitarists

    Quentin Warren. I've heard its sound with Jimmy Smith; with a Stratocaster on the bridge pickup, he turned upside down all my knowledge about the sound of electric guitar!

    I'm not so proud to be Italian...

    Thanks to you, for your kindness Bill. If you want, please search for "Io che amo solo te", or "Maruzzella", both are sweet and they have typical italian melodies.

    I'm not so proud to be Italian...

    Thank you guys, i was sure that this it's a place full of musicians with good taste. Raf Montrasio is passed away the last october. He was the guitar player of Renato Carosone, the first musician able to make a great musical fusion with italian tradition, american swing and newer (in the 1960!)...

    I'm not so proud to be Italian...

    ...except for only few reasons. Here are two of these reasons: "Estate" by Bruno Martino and Raf Montrasio at the guitar. Obviously a PRS. ;)

    HBII Pickup change to Covered 59/09's

    :top: To Coaxion: if you don't want drill another hole, a cheap solution could be swap the miniswitch for piezo/magnetic with a similar switch to split coils, and use the third volume pot for piezo blend... my 1,5 cent!

    Help!!About Trem bridge height

    Yes, the bridge will raise up by reducing the tension (loose screws) of the springs. But so many factors are involved about the correct bridge position, so this could be not enough... it's the raison why i've only stoptail bridges! Sorry for my english, i hope you understand me... The screws...

    Help!!About Trem bridge height

    Hello Craig, you're right: the rear part of bridge it's in contact with the guitar body, and that's wrong. This can happen for many reasons: too low tension of strings, or too much tension of springs under the bridge, etc.; in my opinion, if you are not expert about settings, is better remember...

    Just got my first PRS

    Correct observation. It's very important check out the diameter of holes, i think they are different for pots and 5 way switch of the toggle switch, maybe the previous owner has enlarged the tone pot hole to putting the toggle switch...? Hello Goosey, nice guitar and welcome!
