Hi mga sir, pwede pong mag pa tulong sa project strat build ko? i usually play all around from jazz to blues to rock to country to rockabilly so medyo varied.
since i have no experience using most of the parts that i plan to put, i want/need some advice on how they sound and feel. thanks
so eto ang plano ko:
basically ang strat na i pproject ko will be a squier bullet (since yun yung guitar ko ngayon, although i might buy a better guitar that would be more worth it to mod)
the mods will be: 1. hardware (nut, tremolo, block, tuners) 2. pickups 3. wirings scheme
for no.1 plano ko palitan yung nut ng graphtec (cause i use the trem alot), tas palitan yung stock trem ng mas stable. palitan din yung saddles ng graphite, pero pwedeng hindi na.]
insert a solid steel (or brass) block. tas locking tuners
for no.2 i havent decided which pickups to use (so i need some good suggestions. so far ang na gustuhan ko is yung GFS "jimi" staggered poles. or pickups using alnico 3 magnets).
but i do want to replace the bridge PUP with a bridge tele PUP.
for no.3, eto ang pinaka "chaotic" for me. so ang plano is, 1 vol knob, 1 tbx control knob as my main tone knob , tas yung isa di ko alam haha. as for the 5 way switch,
i found this mod that i really liked.
http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/fender/214625-how-beef-up-your-strat-tone-simple-wiring-mod-tutorial.htmlgusto ko sana though malagyan ng out of phase ability yung strat. but i dont know how to do that. can you suggest any more mods (might it be basic or complex)?
so basically, project talaga siya na malaki. but the question/s are/is:
1. is it worth it?
2. how much estimated cost?
3. should i just buy a different guitar?
4. are there anymore concerns that i should be keeping in mind?
TL;DR? basically, gusto ko mag mod ng gitara ng sobra sobra. anong payo niyo?
i really hope you can help me with this project
rock on! \m/
