The wiring colour differs by manufacturer. The manufacturer should have wiring diagrams on their website.

Cool. Thank you. There are some pretty good guides on their website (Iron Gear pickups) so I’ll give them a look over the weekend.

Side note on the guitar. Dual humbuckers and a tune-o-matic bridge on a telecaster??? My dream guitar. The fact that it’s white was icing on the proverbial cake.

Looks like you should find what you need here: http://www.irongear.co.uk/irongear_pickups_027.htm

Really nice looking guitar. Charvels are great.

Too much stuff to photograph easily or neatly. So this is a quickie snap of my guitar corner. 3 green guitars, a 5 string Curbow fretless bass, way too many pedals (note that there are not one but two univibe clones on the floor), my trusty Mesa Boogie Mark IV, a vintage pignose, a ceriatone Dumble clone (green enclosure back in the corner), some kind of fender modeling amp on top of the dumble clone, and all draped with patch cords for sound dissipation effectoids. The TTSH is not guitar related. Or the easel. Most of the time. Not pictured is a Boss Katana amp, which is the best practice amp ever invented.

I’ve been playing in a gypsy orchestra recently and this is my current setup…

The guitar is an altamira M01d which is a low end model but with a decent setup it works great.

The acoustic amp is an S&R Jamm 100 and has phantom mic inputs, a mixer and a reverb built in. It works great as a mini PA for smaller gigs.

The clip on mic is a superlux cheapo one that sounds decent enough for live performances. Definitely better than a piezo.

It arrived today. I am so happy with it. My other “main” guitar is almost 20 years old, and this is almost like a different kind of instrument. I have been given wiring diagrams by iron gear, so should be good to go this weekend for rewiring. :smiley:

What’s hiding in your rack system?

I’ve been a bit distracted from guitar at the moment, don’t feel like I have time to play it without annoying or waking people up. So I’ve tidied it all away onto the walls, where I can reach them when needed but they don’t take up space

1965 Fender Jaguar and a EGC baritone are my current main guitars. There’s a Kramer DMZ 2000, a Fender Strat and Fender Mustang bass in another room in various stages of being rewired.

All going into a Twin Reverb

Really nice. I’ve been lusting for an EGc for quite some time, but other guitars have taken priority. How do you like it? Does it sound significantly different from other guitars?

It’s incredibly heavy, both in weight and tone. The sustain on it is amazing. As it’s a baritone I used to split the output and put it into a bass amp and a normal guitar amp and I’ve never heard anything nicer, but sometimes with just a guitar amp, or played acoustically it can be a bit too bright, but fire it through a distortion or overdrive and that tames it, and turns the brightness into a nice bite. I really like it, apart from the weight (It’s an aluminium guitar… of course it’ll be heavy), my only real complaint is the neck is a little too thin for the baritone strings and my fingers (and my lack of technique), sometimes my fingers in chords will catch other strings and mute them when I don’t want them to.

Cool and well done, my favorite genre of music, Fusion.

I have at times also lost interest in playing guitar.

However every time I’ve come back to playing guitar it’s been a rewarding experience with a fresh outlook on it. I’ve been into guitar synth for long awhile.

And now I’m combining guitar with modular and its new and exciting again. The guitar makes an excellent frequency modulator, pitch bend, and vibrato (fingers are the LFO) controller with six built in oscillators.

Lately I’ve been running guitar through a Clouds clone with parasite software added and its hard to step away from that module at the moment. I can surely see why it became such a classic module among synth heads.

I’ve got an Ensoniq DP4, a quadraverb, a Boss VF1 and a Yamaha TX816. The VF1 tape delay gets the most use out of that lot. Also a midi router and some patchbays.

The new EHX synth pedal sounds great in the videos. I wonder how easy it is to get the tracking accurate.

I’ve been enjoying this minimal setup for ambient guitar stuff lately

That is a great setup, I used to have so much fun with the Superego and later the + model.

The Superego is a great accompaniment and it was nice being able to stick a tremolo on the pads with the +. I’ve moved on to a Gamechanger Audio Plus pedal, but miss the portamento on the Electro-Harmonix.

What are you running on the norns?

From what I’ve heard regarding their Mel9 and Synth9 models their tracking is great, I think the Mono Synth uses similar digital technology.

I used to have an Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synth, an analog pedal. It sounded really great, very organic and great low end.

More recently I had the Meris Enzo, perfect tracking, and a good delay which could be used standalone, but it didn’t have the character of the Micro Synth.

From what I can gather the Micro Synth is distorting and filtering the original signal, so no issues with tracking, and may be replicable with modular.

I do enjoy Rings with guitar, using an Ears as a preamp along with it’s envelope follower or the gate to another envelope, another fun thing is using the gate to advance a sequence one step at a time as an accompaniment.

Mainly MLR or a script I wrote called timeparty, which is a step sequenced delay effect (still needs some work, but it’s fun). I’d like to hookup a midi footswitch to the norns so I can be a little more hands free, and maybe modify some scripts to add a tap tempo as well.

I took an artsy photo during soundcheck of a show I played last night. Guitar is a DIY semi-hollow Jazzmaster, and pedals are:
Polytune > Fuck overdrive > OCD > Pitchfactor > Strymon Brigadier > DL4 > RV-6 > amp.
My amp is a Jackson Newcastle 30, it’s great but I’ve been thinking I would like more headroom and I’m not crazy about the P&W association those amps carry.
