Hmmm. I am completely incompetent with circuit diagrams, so can I ask: does this mean the centre position has the middle and bridge out of phase?...
I forgot that the Deluxe does have a maple cap, but I think the maple neck makes it brighter than a Deluxe with a mahogany neck.
If there are any guitar builders following this thread, they might be able to give their thoughts on the effect wood combinations have on attack...
You must have thought about swapping the Lollar out of the Junior and into the bridge of the Special, to see how much difference the extra...
Yes, 'finicky' is a positive way of looking at it. I still want to find a way of getting a passable blues sound out of one though, with some...
Now that I remember, I dreamt last night that I was trying to play blues on a Rickenbacker :rofl: What a weird thing to have nightmare about.
It's not much fun to play a guitar without good sustain, but I wonder if each player has a kind of sweet spot that they are happy with...just...
Ugh. You reminded me of a Custom Shop signature LPC that was maimed by the couriers. It arrived in the Gibson packaging, in the Gibson case, with...
My 1961 LP (SG) Custom was recently kicked off a sofa by my cat and landed face down on the floor. I feared the worst, naturally...that fragile...
With luck like that, you should get straight down to the betting shop and lay a grand on some three-legged nag!

I bought a new 1961 RI SG Custom VOS in 2006, and found a real 1961 SG Custom in 2010. I’ve really wanted the white original 61 for a long long...
Brave? Maybe. Thing is, I just can't hear it inside that glass case ;)
Well thanks. Actually the photos really needed a tripod in that light but I suppose they are not too blurred. Good idea to post this thread -...
The white one is '61, the faded red is 2006 61 RI, and the Melody Maker is a '66
Mine stays in tune fine as long as I don't use it. Nice to know I can dive-bomb on the last chord of the last number in the set though.
I'll just throw something in here. I've been playing my 61 Custom re-issue and original 61 Custom side by side recently, and the re-issue does...
My recollection of the way my re-issue sounded with its original wiring was that the out of phase effect in the middle position was pretty subtle...
Nice looking guitar. I wanted to get a white one in 2006 but ended up with a faded cherry 61 re-issue VOS Custom, and I never really got...
