Tha Thanks man. I’ve tried literally a dozen different pickups including Duncan Pearlys A2 pros and 59s, BKP Mules, Stormy Monday’s, 58/15LTs that came stock, Custom shop Duncan’s, Gibson Custom Buckers, ThroBaks, D’Marzio PAF master These hands down have everything just right to them. The...

Ch Check it out. Also changed the entire wiring. Standard CTS550K metered pots (no push/pull), Bee repro caps, new jack and switch. Braided wire all round https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYd_t0gTHt/?igshid=1docts66njnrx

Got myself a pain of OX4 PAF repros. videos to follow soon. I’ve heard and read great things about these pickups

Well I actually managed to fix it. Put it in a vice and incremental pressure changes daily for a week with heat from a blow drier before every increment. Straightened right out and it's back to intonating beautifully now

Help! I was doing my annual guitar cleaning... Fretboard clean, guitar polish etc.... When I got to cleaning the bridge I released it's begun to go ever so slightly concave from the center. I'm guessing it's because the string pressure was too high. I use 11s in standard tuning & action with...

It also goes full Paul Kossoff on demand

Here you go! as promised, proper video showing the entire sweep of volume and drive for both pickups. The Neck split shown at the end of the 2nd video. Bridge has no split just a single conductor wire to a 500K Vol pot the pots are all changed to CTS with Bumblebee caps and 50’s spec wiring

I could not agree more. Infact that is what I wound up doing. Sorry for the late reply

So so here are my comments a year and over after starting this project. min the last year I did the following... 1. Changed the neck to a calibrated Mule too 2. Set them up and balanced them super well so the transition and string to string note separation is as pure as you could expect 3...
