Yes, I really wanted it to be authentic looking, and that means slanting the pickup as well. Not many people seem to do that...

Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.
I haven't seen too many who haven't slanted the pick up. For the most part, guys making their own replicas are pretty meticulous about the detail. The few I have seen which haven’t had the slant routing have been done (sloppily) by guys looking to make an easy few quid from an over zealous Ed Head; even the Chinese and Korean replica companies are adding the slant routing these days (they still aren't quite right with the stripes though).Originally Posted by VanHalenFan5150
I'm not sure if you've come across a guy called Dino yet. Dino does have some knowledge, he is/was a friend of Frankenstraat (James Duffy), however they had a bit of fall out when Dino tried to "get in on the act" so to speak. Like James, he is still around and is still churning out replicas at a price (granted very shiny replicas).
For tips, Alain Rivard is another guy you might want to try talking to - he has been know to pop in here from time to time but he doesn't post too often.

I have a few people that i've been talking to. Jimi, JHale, Jager (All seem to be J's so far) and the one guy from VanHalenGuitars.com
Good Stuff, it's good to get as much good advise as possible; there's always something new to learn.
Yeah, I generally find that true about everything; there's always something new to learn.
The overlooked reason why the humbucker is slanted, is for the top bobbin of the pickup to reach the high-E string, while the low bobbin with the screw polepieces reaches the low-E string.
The spacing of the original Fender trem is actually wider than the width of the original Gibson PAF-pickup and slanting its mounting extends the width the strings are sensed.
Just placing a string over a bobbin will sense something, but the magnetic fields are way, way stronger coming thru a polepiece than anything. Tone has nothing to do with it: it's all about the increasing the output current by sensing as much physical movement of the string as possible.
This quote was brought to us tonight by Gary, with the use of Google. However the original quote:
Was brought to us in 1980 by none other than Eddie Van Halen himself.Another problem is that the strings on a Stratocaster are spaced differently that a Gibson's; if you use a humbucking pickup, the strings don't line up with the pickup holes. So I've tried slanting the pickup so the high E string will be picked up by a front pole and the low E will be picked up by a rear pole. For the sound I like, it is also important to get the space between the bridge and pickup right.
.. which I read in 1980. Which others who did not, angle the pickup for the look of the 5150 but don't know why they do it?
Or what the reason for this is? This ASSHOLE! Emeritus, Corleone, just spent 20 minutes googling what I just shared for reasons of rhetoric alone.
Thanks for reiterating, retard. Perhaps I should just append every quote I make with a reference index, including every interview/month/year/publication I initially read it in, so I can best adhere to the AP Journalistic Guidlines you wish honored here and keep you happy or something?
Andy Summers put a Gibson PAF in a Fender 3 years before EVH thought of it, except nobody credits him for being first cuz its polepieces fit better in the neck position.

MLA citations are easier and more standard. Here is a helpful MLA guide to citing internet resources (in your case Google and Wikipedia!): http://www.virtualsalt.com/mla.htm
Looks like you and Dad got money to buy ready-made parts from Warmoth, etc.
I had to figure how to build a working instrument on my own for no money. Later.
We're not rich and we're not poor. We're simply lucky to have a lot of the things we own and we make the most out of what we have until we get something to replace it. My dad makes more than enough money to get by-- thank God, in this economy. He's the head of a department of maintenance at his work so he knows a lot about what we need to do to build the guitar.
Pay no mind to Gar, the lead paint got to his brain from when he had to gnaw on old guitars as a toddler because his old man did not have a wood chisel. Then when he got too old his uncle cut off his ball sack to hold DnD dice and then they sold him in to slavery and then he was abandoned because he was too tough meat and then made it big by pissing on little boys and he has never had a moments rest since.

Dunno about the rest of that, but she's right about the "pay no mind to GARfail" part...
I would like to note, when my member number is added up it equals 24 add 2 and 4 together and it equals 6 and if you divide by 2 that will equal 3. And half of 3 is 1.5. I thought this should be declared before hand.

GARfail and his Daddy searching for parts for his first guitar project all those years ago...
And then tried to pass off as your own knowledge in 2010......
One thing though Gary - you said I was on your ignore list. It would apprear that was also another one of your (many) lies.

My old man's still a drunk. Kid's luck to have anything, that's the difference I bring to "perspective."

The legendary INTERVIEW is considered common how-to knowledge these days, 'Thwipe.
Did you make reference to the "legendary interview" Gary? No, you didn't. Once again you've been caught trying to pass someone else’s knowledge off as your own.
You are nothing more than a lying fake with no talent other than that of using Google. You has nothing to say, and you’re wasting far too much of everyone's time by posting your constant stream of drivel.
Pay no mind to Gar, the lead paint got to his brain from when he had to gnaw on old guitars as a toddler because his old man did not have a wood chisel.

Of course. Cardboard from the dumpster costs nothing.
Nah, he just found a tennis racket and a bit of rope which he's still using it to this day. Mind it was a special edition tennis racket, but he can't post a picture of it as someone might recognise it.
Yeah, but you get enough of it at 5 cents a pound and you can make about 40 bucks a day with a shopping cart so get busy.
You tewlz enjoy your day, I'm walking down to the beach with my board to contemplate my navel for the next few hours cresting waves n shit.
Google points "cresting waves" "Malibu Beach" "epoxy board" and "stfu" for the childrenz running mauf
The King of Google is now giving tips on Google I see. I also see that you’re demonstrating your old trick of desperately squirming as you attempt to twist and turn your way out of any situation where you’ve tripped yourself up with your own lies and been found (again).
What type of board you got Gary? Which wax are you using? How about the Fin? What are you using there?
Why not post some evidence of actually owning a board Gary - there's nothing special about a board and no ones asking to see you in the picture; so prove you are actually in possession of something you claim to be.
Again you have another chance to try and back some of your words up - will you take it? Or will you run like the cowardly lying little man that you really are?

Infinitely more interesting than Yawn..
Thank you Gary for once again proving me right; you can't substantiate one little thing of what you say, or one thing what you claim to own. Your twists and turns are testament enough to this.
Again, you've successfully proved to the world what you are - a fake, nothing more than a sad little liar.
Now fuck off once and for all you sad pathetic little cunt.
Still running mauf from OWNED stuffing your gob?
Sux bein you! "I'll chase GAR here.. I'll chase GAR there." LOLZ
/owned x2
Gee. Gary sure answered your questions, Don.
NOT.
Fucking loser. He is beyond pathetic.
Is now trying to divert attention away from the fact he cannot answer them, and/or is buying time while desperately Googling so as to be able to come up with some kind of answer.
THIS is ill, effeminate behaviour chasing another man around an internet discussion board to be provided details of his personal life.

It gets boring, having to click View Comment to see how out-of-context a reply my post gets when you guys cuntstantly remind me the initial reason I put you on Ignore in the reply!
What a pair of dumbasses.
Yeah, but there are two factors:
1: My dad makes enough money to get his kids what they want if they're earned it/worked it off
2: Nobody is hiring
That's precisely what he's doing; it's his classic and only response to being unable to answer a question, or to being caught out by his own lies.Is now trying to divert attention away from the fact he cannot answer them, and/or is buying time while desperately Googling so as to be able to come up with some kind of answer.
He hopes that by desperately twisting and turning, he'll mange to somehow create a conversational tangent that will move away from the fact that he is unable to answer any questions or to substantiate one thing of what he says.
Um. Why does most thread in Gear Street turn into a GAR bashing extravaganza?
rhetorical question?
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
