Hi everybody
I didn't seem to have time to post any of the work phases until now and the Barncaster is finished.
Got it set up and going.
Electronics are 500k pots (yes I know - 250 would be the standard), 0,47 capasitor instead of 0,22 (yes I know...). 4-way switch to add the series effect. Found out a story about using a 0,47 in a Tele would do something amazing so I tried. Conducting aluminium tape to the pup and control cavities.
Q Pickups Alnico 5 Tele set with 6,225 KOhms in the neck and 8,01 Kohms in the bridge. A Kroatian small time manufacturer and they should have been made with "vintage" specs including for example using bee's wax (!?).
6-saddle bridge for better intonation
Wilkinson EZ-LOK tuners (wonderful product if I may add) and rolling string trees
D'Addario EXL120 42-9 strings (I messed the Ernie Balls while tuning...)
Levelled and polished the frets
Haven't been able to try this one with a good amp so far but everything works with my practice amp.
Here goes:
