Re: strat style 12 string
Some years ago, Fender did offer a Strat 12-string, and currently offer a Squier Jazzmaster 12-string. A simple Google search will find them. Instead of trying to retrofit a neck, I suggest that if you really want a Strat or JM version, you get one of these instead. Fender, as well as others, tends ...

Re: 330 Hi Gain Pickup Construction?
The poles (of the button-tops) or the sleeves (of the screw poles) are made to be in contact with, or against the bar magnet on the bottom to transfer the magnetism through the pickup. I know this, because I had a pickup with drop-outs. It turns out there was a thin film of the glue or the adhesive ...

Re: Is it happening? A new 4005?!
How about a third pickup in the middle position?

Re: Vintage Fender amp and grounding? Need help!
First, my '79 Vibrolux I used to own already had the 3-prong cord, as the factory converted from 2-prong to 3-prong UL standard in the late '70's. So on every other amplifier I had over time that only had 2-prong outlets I had my tech convert them to 3-prong. the advantage is that after adding the g...

Re: Strings for 360 12 String?
I have not read all three pages. Two pointers: 1) Purchase a set that has a wound 3rd unison G string so it will intonate properly with the octave plain G string. That excludes D'A and some others. 2) The low E string will have issues unless the octave E string is a large diameter compared to the un...

Re: Search & Seizure - Cold of November - 1994
As with my other thread, I had to bump, because of all the Beatles influences. On this song, I wanted a song that was like California Dreamin', but harder. Well, it's November, and we had record cold last week. Thanks for the bump.

Re: Search & Seizure - I Feel Fine - 1994
OK, with the release of the "last" Beatles song, Now and Then, I had to bump this thread. More details: compression on the bass, pillow and close-mik-ing the drums, the aforementioned double tracking of guitars, fx on the vocals, etc., all the studio tricks pioneered by the Beatles. Yes, o...

Re: Pickups on 4002 and 3001 Models
Yes, Zombie thread. But I must correct inaccuracies stated above about the 4002. I have a 4002. The coils are end-to-end or split coil humbuckers. The neck pickup measures between 8 and 8.5 kohms. It is not interleaved as is the bridge pickup. The bridge pickup has the interleaved windings of @ 750 ...

Re: Pre-1984 truss rod question
Hey. Kenny. What are the neck's particular persnicketies? I’m just trying to get the neck dead flat, and it’s not. Plays well, just want it, well, just right. ‘60s 12-string, so I’m trying to go gentle. this opinion comes from owning three 1981 instruments with the old-style hairpin truss rods and ...

Maybe Rick Neilsen of Cheap Trick would be interested in it to go with one of his checkerboard Hamers!
