I don't think I'll do the half guard of the newer model. More likely something full width like in the original model. I was also thinking that way I could route the cavity without committing to it, and iterate later.

I am warming towards the Destroyer for the output compatibility, though the Peacemaker would allow a HHH setup.

The FireBucker II pickups should be relatively 'Stratty' in sound...

I don't know I'd go so far as to call them "stratty", but they are definitely brighter than full size humbuckers. Which is exactly why I like them.

My only concern is that the FireBucker II pairs are the same pickup for neck and bridge. You can of course have the bridge one set significantly higher than the neck to try and balance the outputs, but sometimes that's not really possible.

I have not had a problem balancing them. It may or may not have any effect, but the neck and bridge pickup have different pole spacing, 50mm and 52mm respectively.

I think I was confusing the Firebucker II with the FireBucker as to Strattyness. My Oil City Firebird pickups are definitely at the Fender end of things and definitely not traditional Gibson-like humbuckers.

As the bobbins will be different to accommodate the 50mm and 52mm spacings, then it may be that they are wound for slightly different outputs.

First I've heard of Oil City, do you have the Winterizers the Marlene?

[Simon Barden]

Winterizers.

No wonder it’s cold here!

[McCreed]

Cool!

I couldn't find any demos of the Winterizers (but I only did a half-arsed search).

Cavities and contouring in progress.





With the caveat that the control cavity will get some additional angled depth (I'm thinking some sort of angled shim for the router to work on).

The bench plane I bought recently (with all the paraphernalia and preparation that entails) is starting to get some good use.

Only belly curve, output jack and wire access drilling to go.

[FrankenWashie]

Lovely work DM.👍🏾👍🏾

[dozymuppet]

Contours and roundovers done. Looking like it's supposed to.





Will probably grain fill with cedar timbermate once I've drilled the output hole.
