Triple P-90 Build.

Hi Guys, just want to share my latest build with you.

This guitar is one of my body shapes with a slight tweak to to upper horn. The Body is a very lightweight Walnut with Rock Maple cap, and strips of Makaore, Wenge and PNG Rosewood.

The bolt on neck is from the same piece of Rock Maple with a Wenge fretboard, medium S/S frets. Locking tuners and a matching walnut skunk stripe on the back.

I went with a Wilkinson 2 point Trem, it's a pain in the ass to string up because you need string tension on it to lock it onto the two pivot posts. But once you have the 2 E strings fitted it holds itself in position and the rest of the strings mount up easily. I will try to just change one string at a time when re stringing. Other than that little niggle, it's a great Trem system and was super easy to setup for a smooth floating action. The best I have tried, for the money.

Pickups are Tonerider P-90's. Vintage 90 in the bridge and Hot 90's in the neck and middle positions. The middle pickup is RWRP and I have wired it with a 5-way switch, 1 vol, 1 tone. So you basically get your standard strat tones with noise cancelling in positions 2 and 4. I've used 250k pots with a .033 cap.


Looks like I have to resize some photos, I'll put them in the next post.

Here's some pictures.

And a few more.

nice work Dan I really dig the quality of build you are doing these days. Stunning looking. How does it sound any chance of a demo ?

Love that Walnut back.

Cheers guys, it's got a nice mid range punch to it, quite snappy. I'm happy with how it sounds, the switching is dead quiet too. No crackles or pops at all.

Dan that is superb

Another amazing looking axe Dan! Love the triple P90s.

cheers,
Gav.

that looks great Dan, very slick axe mate

So good. Is this a personal build, Dan? We need to catch up again it seems.... :)
