Like I mentioned, I wasn't happy with the SD Broadcaster bridge pickup. The output just wasn't a good match for the Surf 90 in the neck; too weak & thin. I got a new GFS Fatbody 10K overwound installed today, and it's the bomb; great balanced output in all the switch positions for some really sweet sounds. The Fatbody, palm-muted on the low E though my 6G15 is to die for; extra drippy. |

Thanks; it was a fun build. I'm using CTS 250K pots with a .047 Orange Drop cap, my usual setup for single coils. I also just strung it with flatwound 12s, after checking the setup with some old 9s; I don't want to put those $14 strings on until I know everything's OK! This one joins my other surf guitar, a heavily modded Squier CV50s Strat. All the electronics have been replaced with USA stuff, including Fender 57/62 pups, a heavy MIM bridge, master volume & tone, Gotoh vintage tuners and flatwound 11s. Now if I could only PLAY better! |

Great job beerbelly! Pihabeach82 - that's not actually a P-90 in construction or sound. Cheers, http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |

The VOXcaster is for sale if anyone's interested; I have another guitar build I want to fund. Added a vinyl logo to the headstock, which can be easily removed if you don't care for it. $500 + free shipping. I have shipped many guitars and know how to package them well. I'll also post this in the classifieds here. Thanks Last edited: Jul 16, 2016 18:30:43 |
