Hello all!
I've been lurking on here and VR forums for my PRS news and research for quite a while now. However, I thought it might be time to both say hello (in this post) and also ask some questions about a mod I'm wanting to cook up for my Starla:
INGREDIENTS
1x 2009 Starla in Catalina Dream (w/stock Starla pickups and push/pull)
1x 5-way blade from a CU24
1x CU22/24 Schematic
1x Starla Schematic
METHOD
I'd like to swap in the 5-way blade for some additional tones in my Starla like some faux-quackiness. I'm not sure how it will sound with Starla pickups nor am I certain of the positions. How about these:
1: Bridge HB
2: Bridge HB + Neck SC
3: Both HB
4: Bridge SC + Neck HB
5: Neck HB
Once I engage the push/pull to split the humbuckers, it will only make a change in positions 1 and 5 for 7 total sounds. Hmmm ...
Question 1: Are there any other pickup combinations or wiring options to consider?
Question 2: Is this possible with the ingredients I've got?
Many thanks all!
Danny
PS: I've also considered installing the 5-way blade alongside the original 3-way. That'd make for some 513-esque action but perhaps that might be something to consider later.
