Title: The current state of "Frank", my wash-and-wear guitar Post by: Oren on March 14, 2014, 06:15:11 PM "Frank" (short for Frankenstein) is my name for this guitar that gets more use than any of my other instruments. It is in a constant state of change in the quest for optimum performance and premium tone. Most recently, I've installed a stainless steel pickguard form Johnny Sonic at Pro Steel Pickguards in Australia - http://www.prosteelpickguards.com/ - a single YJM Fury pickup - http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/medium-output/stks10_yjm_fury/ - at the bridge, and a single CTS 250K volume control - http://www.allparts.com/EP-0085-000-CTS-250K-Split-Shaft-Audio-Pot_p_1269.html

but never mind that, how does it affect the sound - if at all? Title: Re: The current state of "Frank", my wash-and-wear guitar Post by: Moon on March 15, 2014, 04:18:42 PM Will sound as good at it looks ;)
Where's that soundclip.... ? Title: Re: The current state of "Frank", my wash-and-wear guitar Post by: Oren on March 16, 2014, 06:26:29 PM Thanks for looking, Gentlemen!
It will be a few weeks until I get the adjustments for string position and pick-up height just right. Then, a recording - probably a Spanish classical guitar composition I've been working on. Working with this guitar in a musical genre to which it is emphatically not suited will test its mettle in extreme conditions ... O0 |
