No, you need to upload them elsewhere (I like imgur) and then post them here.Does this somehow depend on me having more posts?
Er, OK, how do you do that?
Imagine (it's not difficult) that I am an idiot.
Here are my 2 favorite SEs, my beloved 2009 (Tobacco Sunburst) and 2013 (Royal Blue) SE Singlecut Trems (forgive the poor photo quality, hurried cell phone pic after I got done modding).
Pickups are stock but have been modified substantially. As I've mentioned before in other threads, I've experimented with replacing the steel slugs in my humbuckers with beveled-top Alnico V rod magnets, and converted the wiring leads to 4-conductor as opposed to the stock single-conductor. I also flipped the magnet on the treble pickup, to give not only the Peter Green tone in the middle position but also a quacky single-coil tone with the coils split. The pickups read hotter than I expected: for the '09 they read 9.6K bass, 10.3K treble; and the '13 read 9.7K bass, 10.7K treble.
As you can see I've installed two mini-toggles in both guitars for coil splits. Each pickup has an individual toggle with resistor (820-ohm for bass and 1K-ohm for treble) going to ground (kind of a DGT mod on a 408 interface). I chose lower resistor values on the coil splits because I just wanted as little as possible to get me close to 6K resistance in single-coil mode. The resistors give me around 5.7-5.8K neck and 6.1-6.3K bridge when split. Pickups are wired so slug coils are active when split, I find that coupled with the A5 rod magnets in place of the slugs this is about as close as it gets for a true single-coil sound without actually using a true single-coil.
I also dulled the finish of the neck and headstock on both guitars. I originally planned on removing the gloss on all of both guitars but decided I didn't feel up to taking off and then reinstalling the bridges on these guitars.
Other mods include Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners (model #SG381-01 MG), and the Dimarzio ClipLock strap system for both guitars. I also have a set of clear speed knobs shipping as we speak for the '13 (as you can see the '09 already has hers).
If you want the USA PRS lampshades they have them at the PRS shop.Hello, I'm looking to get some clear speed knobs or lampshades for my SE Custom 22... can someone provide me a link? Thanks in advance!
From what I hear they do...you may have to spread out the split halves of the split shaft. I've never tried it myself because I can't justify spending $20 on plastic knobs.So the USA knobs will fit the SE models?
