    Modding a Starla

    So I've conceded and ordered some replacement parts. ETA 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, I'm wanting to get a replacement Starla pickguard since the one I have has yellowed considerably. I've traced the guard and scanned it. I'm in the process of tracing it out in Illustrator so I have it in a...

    Modding a Starla

    The pickguard will need to be reinstalled. It's been disconnected for a few days now.

    Oops. They're measurements from the pickguard to the top of the pickup cover (not pole pieces).

    Modding a Starla

    Last setting was 4-5mm for the neck and 8mm on the bridge. Maybe it just needs fresh solder joints?

    Modding a Starla

    Sorry about the stickers, they're not very ... visible but as mentioned the pickups are in the right spots. Here are the requested readings: Neck: 6.87 (3.45 with coil tap) Middle: 3.46 (1.72 with coil tap) Bridge: 6.89 (3.46 with coil tap) As for the volume pot, I was just noting that the...

    Modding a Starla

    Physically? According to the stickers on the back of the pickups (check the Photobucket pic above), they're look to be in the right positions. Looks like I'll have to unsolder the pickups. That ground looks like an absolute mess on the back of the volume pot. I've asked before (post #13), but...

    Modding a Starla

    Alright, took more pictures today and there are some duplicates in multiple attempts to make sure I get the best photos I can. http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dsiew/slideshow/Starla.

    Modding a Starla

    Yeah sorry about the photos. I need to take it apart again to take better pictures. That came from a bunch from when I did it the first time and I don't have any better photos. I take it you're curious which pickup leads are connected to?

    Modding a Starla

    Hi all, Sorry to bump this old thread of mine but thought it better than starting a new one. I was wondering if I could pick the brains trust here on a few questions I've been thinking over for a while now. I've cleaned up the Starla since this thread started and stripped it down, removing...

    Help with CU24 wiring

    Thanks for the reply. 1. My 59/09s do indeed have the red, white, black wires in addition to the braided wire. 2. My plans are to reuse the McCarty push-pull setup.

    Help with CU24 wiring

    Hi all, While planning to install a set of 59/09s into my CU24, I thought I'd take a look into the control cavity. Below is a recreation that might be easier to review than taking photos of the existing wiring: FYI, the guitar originally came with a 5-way rotary which was been replaced with...
