I might see if I can get the new ASN57 pickups installed in the scratchplate shortly, will post a pic for you guys.
With a bit of luck I should have the Strat up and running in a playable condition by the end of next week, hopefully.
68 pages now Doc!!! Will it ever end? Will we ever see a finished guitar? Find out next time, on PIT BULL GUITARS!
Hahahaha.....It'll probably end when it's totally driven me way past insanity, maybe it already has and I don't even know it, as I said, this build diary is going to be epic....lol.
Okay, here are a couple of pics with the new ASN57 pickups installed, I measured the DC resistance of each pickup and they all measured about 13.5k, which is pretty much on spec, so, all three should work perfectly:
Doc you should start measuring the inductance, that tells you more about the pickup than capacitance.
I would but none of my Multimeters can measure Inductance, I used to have one that could measure Inductance but it went faulty on me.
Yep cant measure it without a meter that will do it lol
I want a machine that will measure Q but they are too expensive
Q is basically the sharpness of a filter isn't it?, such as a notch-filter, a notch-filter with a very high Q will be more effective at notching out a frequency than one with a lower Q.
You can make a notch-filter out of an Inductor and a Capacitor fairly easily, same goes with bandpass filters.

Hey Doc,
Sharpness is not a bad word to describe Q.
Q is 'officially' the Quality factor of a resonant circuit:
'The Q, quality factor, of a resonant circuit is a measure of the “goodness” or quality of a resonant circuit. A higher value for this figure of merit corresponds to a more narrow bandwith, which is desirable in many applications.'
Ref: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/text...onant-circuit/
and
It 'characterizes a resonator's bandwidth relative to its center frequency'
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor:
