New electronics for an old strat: Seymour Duncan

New electronics for an old strat:

Seymour Duncan Antiquities
CTS pots
Mallory Cap
Puretone Output
Gavitt Cloth Wire

Standard 5-way strat with the exception of an added tone controöl for the bridge pick-up. The strat pick-up that needs a tone control the most in my opinion.

Got to try my new solder fume extractor (not in the picture) Works great! Wil l do a little video on that soon.

The owner of this Yamaha wanted to have a K&K Pure

The owner of this Yamaha wanted to have a K&K Pure Mini installed in his guitar. After removing the end-pin it had a 4mm hole. Way too small for the 1/2 inch endpin jack so it had to be enlarged. You can use an expensive reamer that is available for this job or you can plug the hole and use a 1/2 inch forstner bit to do the job.

I started by sanding a taper in a dowel and then glued it in the hole left by the end-pin. I used Titebond and allowed it to dry for 30 minutes.

Then I used a flexible Japanese saw to cut the dowel almost flush to the body. Almost flush, as I don’t want to risk damaging the finish.

After that I located the center and started drilling the hole using my 1/2 inch forstner bit on my handheld drill.

With a freshly drilled half inch hole I was able to install the endpin jack and continu the installation of the pick-up

Today I allowed myself some time practising semi-hemispherical fret ends with the grinding wheel I bought from @nkforsterguitars

While doing this I was listening to Fret-O-Rama with @ianhatesguitars @guitarspecialistinc @monsterfret and @jw.restoration It doesn’t get any better than this. 😊

Pulling frets on this 70 plus year old AMKA. Although frets does not describe what was installed in this guitar. They look like lead strips with no crown or tang whatsoever.
