I like EMG X series P.U.s. If you use lots of pedals, try them. ♧ I use SAXs and 89X for MK-1 Classic model. 89 is dual mode pickup, means switchable between humbucker or single coil. X series require to use provided active tone control (2nd pic, right) and supposed use push / pull (switch) pot as a volume control. But I always used push / pull pot (2nd pic, left) on the Tone control knob and I often use second push / pull pot for other feature (not on this one). So I transplant the active tone circuit to the push / pull pot. • • • • #pensacustomguitars #pensaguitars #pensabass #rudysmusic #guitar #electricguitar #customguitar #craft #guitarmod #guitarrepair #handcrafted #guitarsofinestagram #madeinusa #markknopfler #direstraits #custommade #handmade #woodworking #luthier #madeinnyc #bass #emgpickup #ギター #手工 #制作 #修理 #改造 #手作り #木工 #ニューヨーク
Probably more than 10 years ago, John Mayer brought his new vintage Stratocaster. I made a new nut because the guitar came with the nut for lefty player. It was previously owned by Jimi Hendrix. That's why he's holding the guitar upside-down. • • • • #pensacustomguitars #pensaguitars #pensabass #rudysmusic #guitar #electricguitar #customguitar #fenderstratocaster #guitarmod #guitarrepair #fender #rockstar #guitarhero #johnmayer #jimihendrix #custommade #handmade #stratocaster #luthier #vintagestratocaster #fenderguitar #vintageguitar #leftyguitar #ギター #ジョンメイヤー #ジミヘンドリックス #ストラトキャスター #フェンダー #ヴィンテージギター #ニューヨーク
This is my 5 minutes made bridge pins holder. Made out of scrap 12 string bridge, Duncan P.U.case and Floyd blocks. I was gonna make out of fancy figured wood piece someday, but it never happened for over 15 years. • • • • #pensacustomguitars #pensaguitars #pensabass #rudysmusic #guitar #electricguitar #customguitar #tools #guitarmod #guitarrepair #guitartech #guitartools #guitarparts #bridgepins #12stringguitar #stewartmcdonald #handmade #woodworking #luthier #guitarsupplies #acousticguitar #luthiertools #手工 #ギター #制作 #修理 #改造 #手作り #木工 #道具

In the 50s & 60s, many of Gibson SG and ES double cutaway thinline guitars (335 family) came with vibrato. Right side of the bottom picture is the regular ABR-1 bridge, left side one has been grounded round where the bridge hight adjust thumb wheel contact ('61 SG with sideway vibrola). Top picture ('64 345 with Bigsby), the one side of thumb wheel has round surface. The idea of both is the bridge rocks to stay in tune better when you use the vibrato. It is interesting that 1958 debt Fender Jazzmaster has rocking bridge with the vibrato too. Sometimes early ES-335 family guitar with stop tailpiece has grounded bottom ABR-1 because they have very little neck angle and the bridge have to be lower than they can get. • • • • #pensacustomguitars #pensaguitars #pensabass #rudysmusic #guitar #es335 #customguitar #gibson #gibsones335 #guitarrepair #guitargeek #repair #madeinusa #gibsonguitars #vintagegibson #vintageguitar #custommade #gibsonsg #luthier #guitarcollection #guitarcollector #guitarparts #blues #jazz #ギター #制作 #修理 #改造 #ギブソン #ニューヨーク
