Fuzz Face Guts and how-to.

cool man thanks alot!

lol nice got it...

Does anyone have any schematics or anything for a treble booster or fuzz face? im really looking to build either or both of these to start with and figured this would be the best place to go for knowledge

the humming that jazzmasters are known for As in that they're single coil pickups? I didn't realises Jazzmasters were specifically known for this.. seeing as mine doesn't hum.. its just that every jazzmaster (usually an original one) hummed and i do realize thats probably because of age. but i wasn...

So cool man! I'll have to check it out thanks for that

I havnt really had the volume up to a suitable level to see if the newer pickups have silenced the humming that jazzmasters are known for but so far they seem fairly quiet for what they are

yea this one buzzes a bit because of the saddle screws, they basically just sit there and arent tight, but none the less its soooo nice. i love it and i recommend it for sure. i was a bit worried about the burst on it because i have seen some mex bursts and they look reallly yellow but this one is c...

ok here it is sorry about the fuzzy pic my camera didnt seem to agree today so i'll try to get better shots up soon but atleast you can see it

I went for the tort. something about the sunburst and tort really got me Picks coming in a bit!

hahaha i will try to get some up tonight i just have to hunt down my camera

I'm proud to say i am now in possession of a classic player jazzmaster!!! I'm so excited about it, awesome guitar. I'll try to get picks of it up soon maybe my other guitars as well. anyway wanted to share the joy

as for pics i dont have any at the moment what i would be painting is just an alder strat body that i have kicking around

haha i just feel ambitious and i've had the idea of re doing a guitar of mine for quite a bit of time anyway i'll check some auto places i've also got a hold of a guy who has been doing it for quite some time that will teach me some things as well so im banking on that idea

hey I have a strat that im looking to get repainted and i have no idea where to take it. any suggestion on what type of place i should take it??? i was thinking maybe an auto place

Tokai ftw. I played one awhile ago and im still pissed i missed my chance on it. seriously the only difference i found between a gibson and that was the weight and the price. which is a big bonus with the tokai

i played a mim jag a couple days ago and i REALLY enjoyed it. the first jaguar i played was pre-CBS so it was old and had every rattle you could think of so it wasnt as great as i thought it would be but playing the new one really brought back the love i have for these guitars. I'll be ordering one ...

there is a lot of classic goodness coming from that and the workmanship looks great. too bad about the color, man

just put in the pots today and i love the tone!!

yea but whats funny is all of them are not necessarily made by dimarzio. i believe the 250k are made in mexico the 500k are made in taiwan and the 1meg I'm not sure of.....possibly mexico but the mex ones are supposedly the best they have from what i hear.

Yeah its pretty straight forward, draw a diagram first of what goes where then copy it. Make sure the iron is hot, heat both wire and terminal for a few seconds then add solder. Your looking for a strong shiny solder joint. Be gentle removing the cap though, its easy to pull the legs out in some ca...
