Used to Own an Ibanez Road Star II Want to build similar to what I had!
Greetings all, and happy NewYear.
I used to have a beautiful Gloss black Ibanez RSII as the title says. I am planning on Re-creating it as close as possible, however I am going to make the guitar my version of it. I want to do a 5 way or more switch, in SSH configuration I'll need help with the wiring diagram in order to complete this feat. I wanted to do a Strat style Volume, Tone, Tone Config. I want to make sure there is ZERO audio loss, I am no stranger to electronics, or soldering as I typically work with computers and have done a bit of low voltage wiring in the past. My biggest thing will be in learning the difference between 250k 330k 500k, and 1M pots when it comes to control and loss. Is there a benefit to using three 500k pots one volume, and two tone or should I do Two volume and one tone? When doing this I want the absolute best outcome with as little audio loss as possible in all ranges. I'd like to be able to go from playing simple warm upbeat to random rifting and still have it sound great and extremely clean. I've read a little bit on a couple of the different threads, and I figured I'd join and pop in with my ideas for my planned near future first self built guitar.
