Hi All
I'd to propose my 335 for guitar of the month...
I've played around with this one, my second build.
She's a pen ink stained (my own mix of yellow and blue inks) quilted maple top 335 with gun stock oil finish - about 40 coats (lost count a bit)
On board there are:
Schaller tuning pegs
Graphtech nut
Seymour duncan SH-4 JB for the bridge and SH-2n Jazz Model for the neck.
I've got 4 Bourne 500k push pull pots: in Jimmy Page style wiring:
Bridge Volume: splits bridge pickup
Neck Volume: splits neck pickup
Bridge tone: puts bridge & neck pickups out of phase with each other
Neck tone: puts bridge & neck pickups in series together
There's a schaller piezo in the bridge
with a flagship preamp.
I (nervously) cut a hole in the back, installed a frame and inset magnets to allow the cover to lie flat without screws. There's a matching 'key' to pull off the cover. Inside is the wiring, the flagship preamp, battery access.
The metal knob is piezo volume, the black rotary is piezo alone, piezo/mag mix and mag.
She plays amazingly, and great thanks to Pitbull guitars for the inspiration to make the guitar of my dreams.. I play in a very varied covers band (Eagles, ACDC, Dire Straits, INXS, Crowded House, Ed Sheeran, Mumford and Sons you know - the guitar needs to do a bit of everything!) and she sounds awesome for all of it.
Cheers all.
Chris
