That's what I thought originally, but it only has 2 knobs, unlike strat wiring... Not sure if that's a 5 way switch either, I mean I assume it is but I can't really see... The thought is that it may have been a duo sonic at one point, in which case there would have been a three way switch there? I d...

Sonic Youth / Thurston mustang 3 pickup wiring?

So now that these squier 'stangs have come out, I've got it in my head (and wallet) to make me a ripoff of that infamous stolen sonic youth guitar... At least in electronic terms (no uhhh "relic'ing" involved here...) Anyway I've been trying to find a wiring diagram for something akin to i...

ps i am deaccessing this instrument in order to pick up either a musicmaster bass amp or a sweet little wooden alamo number from the 50's ... so i feel that the new acquisition's asset value might trump the instrument no matter what as these are almost sure the increase in value over time, no? apolo...

do you regret...

selling your toronado? i've seen a lot of lament on these forums about this issue, and i am one step away from disposing of this beautiful monstrosity that has been in my possession ever since i have played the electric guitar. i'm over the sentimental value, but i can't help but shake the feeling t...

that pretty much settles it... if its good enough for dwarfcraft its good enough for me (as someone who has dabbled in the pedal building, i think you guys are gods btw)... although, by chance you wouldn't happen to know which set of locking tuners you have specific experience with? they've got thre...
