Dedmans TL-1TB Kustom

[Dedman]

funny you should say that, I was just looking at it again and thought the same

[Dedman]

just wiring and a nut to do. She should make noise tomorrow

[Sonic Mountain]

Looks cool man. What's the pickup in the neck? (sorry if you've mentioned already)

[Dedman]

it's a GFS Retro-tron, supposedly this one is voiced like a Rickenbacker (jangly) I guess I'll find out tomorrow when i wired it up

[Bakersdozen]

Looks delicious! What's the plan with pot and cap values being a single and bucker combo?

[Dedman]

Cap is a .022 and pot is a 500K push pull so I can split the bucker. I'll see how that goes. I have another guitar with a bucker in the bridge and a single in the neck and used a .047 and 500k and that sounds fine to my ear.

Looking niiiiice. Let's hope it all works first time when plugged in.

[TZK321]

Looks fantastic!

Thanks to this and BG's Sexual Chocolate I really want to build something with a Bigsby now.

[Dedman]

Wired, strung with chinese strings but sounding rather nice. Much work to do on set up, a few buzzes. Yes Simon, wiring worked first go, which was amazing as I hadn't done a split humbucker with a tele switch and a push pull and didn't have a wiring diagram. but it works!

Frankie, I have 2 guitars with genuine Bigsbys, one with a Chinsby and I have to say the Duesenburg version leaves them for dead. So smooth,nice soft spring and you can adjust the arm in so many planes. I have a hollow body PRS style on order, it will be getting a Les Trem.
options..
