McCarty NF morphed into a McCarty 312

[zebraprs]

Started out as a 25th Anniversary McCarty NF.
First Mod...
Installed Dragon I (T) in bridge position.

And now today.
McCarty 312. 3 pickups and 12 sounds. Dragon I (T) / 57/08 NF (M) / Dragon I (B)

I love seeing someone rout into a new guitar. It makes me realize I'm not the only one who does that.

Nice job!
I bet it sounds great. I love the Dragon 1's.

How is it wired? Push/pull to kick in the NF pup?

Yeah.. cutting into a guitar is just a way to show it you love 'em.

That looks and i bet it sounds superb....
Can you explain the wiring scheme to acheive 12 sounds?

 

[gush]

Hell Yes!!!!!!! Having owned a guitar now with dragon Is I can only imagine what that ***** sounds like. We need a full tone report, stat.

Sure thing. I use a Push Pull to split the Dragon Is (ala Custom with McCarty Switching) then I added a Push Push on the Vol Pot to engage the NF.

Here are the different positions available.

1. Full Bridge
2. B & N
3. Full Neck
4. Split Bridge
5. Split B & N
6. Split Neck
7. Full Bridge + NF
8. Full B & N + NF
9. Full Neck + NF
10. Split Bridge + NF
11. Split B & N + NF
12. Split N + NF

Here is an update.. I had the chance to play and open mic this week with this baby,., every one of the 12 sounds is 100% usable. It was a dream to play.. Especially through my PRS Perfect10..
