Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
I have never liked either quilted top OR pearloid guards, but the two together looks PHENOMENAL!!!! I really like it, and that surprises me, which is always a good thing Subscribed!!!

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Since you say it's unorthodox, what scale length is this? The mad scientist who sold me my Cobain Mustang built a 25.5" scale Mustang.

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Thank you for all your kind words and comments, guys!
That's a brilliant idea. I'll have to try that.MechaBulletBill wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2017 2:11 pmI don't like felt washers (look silly imo especially white ones) but I saw you can get leather ones and I'm more on board with that.
Looking forward to that. I'm really looking forward to hearing these Creamery pickups. Will of course try and record some stuff and post for you guys to hear.
Thanks, much appreciated.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2017 4:42 pmI have never liked either quilted top OR pearloid guards, but the two together looks PHENOMENAL!!!! I really like it, and that surprises me, which is always a good thing Subscribed!!!

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
A treble bleed connected to the volume pot as well as hot and ground connected to the kill switch...
Another view of the treble bleed cap and resistor as well as parts of a cable soldered to the jack ...
And the cable connected to the volume ...
And a cable going between the volume and the switch ...
The only thing left here is to connect the hot outputs from the two pickups to the switch ...

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
I'm 100% invested in the outcome of this. Just picked up some of the Burns Mini-Trisonics with the intention of putting two in a Mustang, so I'll be curious to see how this Creamery version works out for you!
Did you go with ceramic or alnico?

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Good question ... hmm ... what did I get? I have to check in my mail thread with Creamery ... One sec ...
Ah, there it is. Alnico. 5 to be exact.
I'm also looking forward to hearing these pickups. Going to be real fun as soon as I get it ready. Perhaps this weekend.

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Your build is AWESOME! I love the choices of elegant simplicity in your electronics and how you've overcome the fitment challenges. Shows great aptitude. I am going a different route with my Jaguar build as the electronics go. Since it is an HH setup I will be trying to use the standard switches for series / parallel and in / out of phase control. With coil split pots it should provide a fantastic number of possibilities. I have a lot of research to do and you are an inspiration to me! Thanks so much for all of the pictures too! Tom

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Wicked. The only demo on YouTube of the Sonic 60's is the alnico 2 version, which I found didn't have the chime of a proper tri-sonic. The originals are ceramic, as are the minis I bought, but I'll be excited to hear what your A5 model sounds like. Should be a fair bit clearer than the A2.Logrinn wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2017 11:35 amGood question ... hmm ... what did I get? I have to check in my mail thread with Creamery ... One sec ...

And you're welcome. I've managed to do some more stuff this afternoon/night and will try and post more pictures of that as well.
Regarding your HH Jaguar - I've got a Fender Super-Sonic and it also has two humbuckers in it. I wanted to do some modding to it a while back and ended up putting a S-1 switch in the tone pot. Since that switch is a 4pole switch it allowed me to make both pickups switch between normal series mode to parallell mode with one click. Pretty neat.

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Yes, I'm really looking forward to getting it done. Can't wait to hear what it'll sound like and how it will feel playing it. I never had a Mustang before. I think this might very well be my all time favourite guitar model.mbene085 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 7:40 amWicked.

Unfortunately I'm still missing some crucial parts, but in the mean time I'll continue working on it. I got the bridge in place as well as the pickguard today. Will post some more pictures of that soon.

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
This is going to be the coolest Mustang. I love the finish and with that neck, it's outstanding. There are so many things you're doing that make this build a special one. Thumbs-up, Logrinn.

Re: Unorthodox Mustang build
Thanks so much , Rgand!
I got some work done yesterday, but it'll take at least a week before I can get it finished (waiting for parts).
In the meantime I'll try and post some more pictures of the progress.
