Hi From Melbourne

[tonyw]

The pickup my vintage/modern prototype
I gave it 7760 turns scatter wound, Vintage average is 8000 turns, polarity is South facing
Gauss reading peak average 942 very good
OHMS 5.95k at 20C
have a henries reading here somewhere but cant find it which to me is more beneficial and tells me more than an Ohms reading.

Pickup is in a squire Affinity tele i have just modded up as my test bed tele, and i put some brass saddles in the bridge, and am about to intonate it, its been a real pain busting rubbish tuners that came with the guitar (paid$40 for the guitar so it doesnt matter)

Will see if i can track some this arvo.



The tele bridge, its called the Bubba Mod (not my idea) replace the old saddles with vintage brass ones, you need to do some drilling.

good stuff Tony, looks like you do well out of upgrading cheap guitars

[tonyw]

Theres been some expensive stuff as well mate, i better do a thread or 2 and put this info in the right spot.

And no the baritone wasnt a scratch build, i havent had time for that yet, but i do have some nice Ancient Kauri planks in the shed ready to go.

sure Tony you have worked on some expensive axes.

If you want to show off any of the axes post them in Non Pitbull gear section

Here ya go Wok a quick clip i just threw down, i need to set the intonation and balance the pickup on the treble side but you will get the idea
