Ok, this started off as a regular ol' DK-2 HRF, to which I added a 24 fret maple boarded neck from a Jackson JTX, an OFR from Carvin, and (at one time) a set of EMGs.
NOW it's the Ultimate Hot Rodded Hot Rod with Hum-Single-Hum! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I did this all by my little loneseom with a Dremel and a dream [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Enjoy!
Pickups are Duncan Distortion, Duncan Designed SC101-N (neck pickup - didn't realize it was the neck pickup till I saw the "M" (middle) stamp on the other one - heh heh) and Duncan Custom SH-5.
As an interesting note, the 5-way that comes on these things (enclosed, w/circuit board on one side instead of in the middle like the old Fender-style open switches) has some nice wiring options that they never mentioned.
You know how the tabs are all in a row, right? Well, this is how they go:
(Assuming you are looking at the bottom of the switch with the circuit board to the right)
|-Neck
|-Middle
|-Bridge
|-Output
|-Output
|-Bridge
|-Middle
|-Neck
Now, you only need to wire 4 of the 8 prongs for operation, however, you can jump the coil tap wires of a pickup to one of the other 4 tabs to make those two come on for whichever switch position you select (i.e. split neck and middle in position 4) without having two wires on one prong (PITA!)
So, the SH-5 in the neck is split and comes on with the middle pickup when set to position 4 [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
