Higher potentiometer resistance values (regardless of pickup type) produce a little more power and treble response. This applies to both volume and tone controls. I plan to put a 1 meg in one of my upcoming projects.Originally Posted by GAR

I wasn't saying they DO sound bad or good, and I will check out the MP3's...
But I have 10 strats and none with a humbucker, but i did buy a 2000 lefty American Standard Strat that I'm turning into a Dave Murray replica. I have all the parts, correct vintage 80's Super Distortion, chrome pup rings, etc...
I did scallop the fretboard like most of my guitars, but I got lazy after that...
Last week, I stained the fretboard and attempted to clear it and it reacted some sort of way so I had to scrape it off...
I painted a Japanese neck exactly the same way on the same day and it came out perfect...
Strange...
Yes, reproducing said pile of shit in exacting detail is an artform. Especially if you're not doing the finish with the aid of vinyl patches shaped like the wear-marks on the original...(...cough, cough, Fender! Cough!)
No shit.Post pics of your guitars or STFU, Clay
Hey Garbage , simply take your moldy old Charvette out of it's gigbag*cough* I mean garbage bag and ask the nice old librarian if she can take a picture of it for so you can share it with us?!
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!

No shit? That's what Fender did and they charged how much for those fucking guitars? Unbelievable
E- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first place
Never gonna happen.
Something Garbage would know zero about...
Hmm, fill me in here bro. How is Fender using these patches? Are slapping them on when they paint (like you would a stencil)?Especially if you're not doing the finish with the aid of vinyl patches shaped like the wear-marks on the original...(...cough, cough, Fender! Cough!)
That's the highly plausible rumor...lol...
Trying to remember which relic site it was that was just ripping on them for supposedly doing that, but even they were like "how else are you going to make 300-500 guitars with the exact same wear pattern?" To do it all by hand, one imagines each one would take weeks...No shit? That's what Fender did and they charged how much for those fucking guitars? Unbelievable
That's why I have some much respect for you guys that build your own stuff and make your own replicas. Any moron with money can buy that EVH shit from Fender, big deal.
Frankie was built for next to nothing and built to suit Ed's needs at the time. That's the true spirit of guitar building, IMO.
Still, even if you can afford it - the irony of someone paying $25K for a replica of something it cost the owner of the original $200 to make themselves...

Ironic, isn't it
Well said kwame. I'm building my own Frankie (I'm in the early stages). But I'm gonna go for the detailed relicing ,that's part of the challenge I'm looking forward to. But the bottom line is I'm doing it for myself and nobody else.
I'm gonna be starting a thread about it soon once I can get some progress happenin...
Very cool, can't wait to see some pics
Word has it this REALLY cool dude gave DJ a '71 Quarter...
Yeah, what he said! Let's see it!Very cool, can't wait to see some pics
Bullshit. Post photos or fuck off !
Shaddup...

Log out and fuck off Troll!!!
Words of wisdom right there...
STFU and go take care of your children , Fishfolds!
Let's not see the pics here.. do that at Warhams' place because the thought of the ensuing critique brought on from all the mistakes you're doomed to make is just gonna start another flame war, where you chase me all over the site saying "fuck off" n'stuff..
PLEASE keep that mess at Warhams'.
Yea, that's it Diamond J. Shit DON'T POST any pictures of what you're trying to build. Baron Von Munchhausen/Walter Mitty/Coward.Child abuser/Gar, that can NEVER post ANY pictures of ANYTHING he allegedly owns will be Google/critiquing your Honest attempt at actually DOING something......
Trouble is, the things he really knows about are so repulsive nobody wants to know...
Post a picture of the Charvette already, GAyR.
Shaddap.
Gee, DJ...guess this means you have to post it at both sites now...
Why do you waste your time encouraging him.. he doesn't play!
Neither do you, so what's your point?
I've heard him, you idiot. Once again posting about things you haven't a clue on...
On a completely different subject, I want to have my Tele shipped out here, is there any better way than just UPS or reg mail?
"fuck off" n'stuff.. Hmmm,wasn't that a Saturday morning tv show back in the 70's?
Don't worry bitch ,I'll be doing plenty of what you've never done here...posting pics.
Ya hungry Gardophile? Ya like the taste of crow? Soon Bitch ,soon...
Damn straight. Big muthafuggin photos!Shaddap.
Gee, DJ...guess this means you have to post it at both sites now...
Yer sayin Guitar Hero don't count,Bitch?!

Yeah, and I've heard you..
...And you've yet to post anything better, so STFU.
I may make and post clips if motivated..
...Everyone calling you out as a bitch isn't motivation enough?
...Everyone calling you out as a bitch isn't motivation enough?
That bitch is owned for life...
You anonymous cowards slag all the foul you want, I have 6 of them ignored and don't see it....Everyone calling you out as a bitch isn't motivation enough?
Like we really give a fuck! Stop spamming this thread with your bullshit, Clay.
You're the fucking coward-child abuser.
Putting people on ignore is another pussy move.
You have nothing, therefore can show anything...
You are beyond GHEY.
Pussy.
You're the coward who can't post anything to back up his bullshit...you are so perma-owned.
This could have been worded better, in my opinion. The fact is, the clue-free dorkazoid has yet to post anything at all. The truth being, it must be fairly difficult to accomplish much when you are spending countless hours in the library, amounting to up to 50 or more posts in a single day....And you've yet to post anything better, so STFU.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.― Stephen Hawking
You can't FUCKING play the guitar!
What the fuck?!?! Okay? It starts with "Yankee Doodle" in Mel Bay songbook 1a or some shit.
Post a song and we'll talk. But that's all you can do, talk. And upload Nuno Bettencourt riffs on your wet-dream ebay parts guitar...
I love watching steam pour from Igosplut's ears like this.. showing I dominate every square inch of that diminished cranium, but he's on ignore now!

Outstanding logic in place here: Lord Smoke-A-Dick here is placing people on ignore that actually give him the attention he so disparately craves. So he now needs to log out of the site every so often to keep aware, then must act as if he does not acknowledge what is said about him.
Then again, considering this imbecile's total lack of worth when faced with reality (or even basic fact gathering), he more than likely takes the derision as a compliment.
All in all, it's like playing a very slow and run-down version of "Whack-A-Mole". One's mallet actually starts to deteriorate after a while from nailing the varmint so squarely between the ears on such a redundant basis. In a nutshell, the challenge dissipates quite quickly.

OK, now we KNOW you're completely full of shit.
LMMFAO!!!!!
Wow, the jealousy is just eating at you, isn't it?
You're just mad because no one caps on my video posts like they do when your no-talent butt-buddy Ace CaveKlan posts his drivel...and you know if you posted ANY example of your (obviously) sub-par skills you'll get hammered to the wall. You'd SO love to "compete", but you CAN'T, so you bitch. Pathetic fucking loser.
In other words, and get it fucking straight - now and forever, YOU'RE MY BITCH. Go ahead and put me on ignore now, troll-boy. I own you.
