Cigar Box Guitar Build #34

18 hours ago

Paul Craig commented on BeetleJuice!'s blog post Fender Plans a USA made Acoustic

"I saw a video on this guitar being demo'd by a guitarist. It sounds very good as a Acoustic guitar with sampling choices of 5 different types of Acoustic guitars. I wasn't really impressed with the electric pickup they used, but I'm…"

Paul Craig replied to Richard's discussion Laminated necks, but maybe different

" I don't see why it wouldn't work. You could turn them on their side and add 2 boards of similar size on each side and glue them all together. Then cut out a neck with a degree headstock. Lots of ways to do it."

Taffy Evans replied to Paul Craig's discussion What's on your workbench?

"I recall Les Paul himself preferred low impedance pickups and that Gibson had models sporting them in the early 1970's. I have not installed the Reflex pickups for many years and cant recall how they performed. Thanks for the offer of info…"

"Active pickups have come a long way since the 80’s, I used to hate them, but they’ve resolved all the pesky noise issues since then? EMG has championed the active game ever since "

Paul Craig replied to Shane Speal shanespeal.com's discussion VIDEO & PICS: Reso Bass by Jason Mills of Highwood Guitars

"Did you have to keep the pickup heights low due to their hot output or did you want some fuzzy distortion in that bass?"

yesterday

Paul Craig replied to Paul Craig's discussion What's on your workbench?

"Oooh, Active Pickups. I had a EMG 85 in a Strat style back in the 80's and 90's. I should've switched to an 81 because the 85 had way to much distortion. Hope they work out for you Taff, interested in how they work out. I haven't…"

BrianQ. replied to Paul Craig's discussion What's on your workbench?

"Taff, I have some reprints of the reflex manual if you need them?"

Taffy Evans replied to Paul Craig's discussion What's on your workbench?

"Well I've got more pickups than you can poke a stick at, but what I might try are these pictured here. Reflex pickups made in England. I've had them for over 20 years. Trying to find info on them to work out the wiring. They are low…"

Monday

Paul Craig replied to B W's discussion Do magnetic pickups and onboard preamps mix?

"All the info I found on that preamp was for piezo only. Heres a diagram for wiring the piezo to the preamp and magnetic pickup separate to a 3-way switch, but you could substitute the switch with a blender knob."

Sunday

Paul Craig replied to Paul Craig's discussion What's on your workbench?

"What pickups Taffy? Suggestions: 1. Strat neck and middle with a Tele Bridge pup. 2 Victory Lowrider Gold Foils. 3. Lipstick Tubes. ;)"
