Love that neck. The Zhangbuckets are great. Did you get the “pure hand wound”? I also have this incoming I’m thinking about getting a Japanese Allparts roasted AAA neck

I’ll go first. 1 piece alder body finished by MJT in a heavy relic Olympic white. Aged gotoh ge101ta bridge with steel block. 500k in position 1 on the bridge, 330k in positions 2-5. Pickups are bare knuckle true grit single coils and my ToneNerd WD Forte in the bridge Body is pretty much...

The ruler serves several purposes. I use the small metal ones String heigh most importantly. I can get an idea if I can improve the playability based on the current height and relief. Also, at least here in Japan, there’s for more options for brands, but not all of them are accurate spec. For...

I always bring a ruler with me guitar shopping. Seriously…….

Oh man. I feel honored to have owned 2. My #117 is the only guitar that I’ve custom ordered and it’s not going anywhere.

I hate coated springs. They add noise through preventing proper ground between your bridge and claw. Be sure to file away the coating from the loop and block hook.

Marshall has been designing their amplifiers from the engineers in finance for decades

China got screwed in the deal

Mak Make sure to wear eye protect

Thanks for the support guys. Been in the position for a few weeks now and feel like this is meant to be. I do miss making pickups though and hope that I can fit some batches into my schedule when I can get thing under me correct and on autopilot

Please elaborate? Big box pickup makers can’t even replicate the same tones from earlier versions of the same pickup. The wind is the biggest factor. The turns per layer, the pattern and the tension all play a significant role in how the pickup reacts. Anyone says they’d recreated a pickup or...

Big fan of Faber

I do this on a push pull, essentially shorting the resistor the less scooped with the resistor is series

Navigators do it for me

Yes. Both split

It’s still got the stock 4700pf bright cap on volume 2. Some people like it for the cut, some don’t. Once I get more parts in I’ll drop it down to 2200pf. I miss living down the road from Mouser electronics.

This damn amp has attitude. This is after fixing the NFB and adding the Cameron spec punch control

I don’t disagree with any of that. I was more so implying that the 4k7 more often referenced as the shunt resistor while the long tail resistor is the 10k in a Marshall. I will take a scratchy 5k with no shunt 10 times out of 10 for the even taper.

I don’t think so. The long tail is the 10k resistor. The 4k7 was added in the design later since before it was just a 5k pot that scratched when turning because of DC on the pot. Using a 4.7k resistor in parallel with the 25k accomplishes both shunting the DC to ground since is a much lower...
