325 comparison

Post by Medicus1963 »

Hi Folks,
if i compare my 325V63 with 64 and 66 real vintage toasters with the 325C64 my buddy owns, i always think that there is more treble in the bridge pickup of my friends C64. Does this guitar have any highpass filter caps inside? How are they installed? Or is it just a matter of the older magnet that my vintage pickups have?
Anything could help!

Thanks

Peter

It's easy enough to check to see if there is a .0047µF cap in line with the bridge pickup. Remove the pickguard and look for three capacitors, if there are, one of them should be physically smaller than the other two which will be the same size. Also, the small cap will be connected between the selector switch and the treble volume control.

Hi Jeffrey,
thanks for responding! Mine has only two caps, thats for sure. I will ask my buddy to look in his control cavity, he lives a few miles away.
