Sire H7 oh and 68 Gibson 345 .

[la szum]

And some people cannot be dissuaded even with the voices of reason and expertise.

Experts Schmexperts.

I ain't wasting it on giving piles of crap mouth to
mouth in the vain attempt to give it life.

That is quite the image.

The wiring. Now I have to build a 335 circuit with this stuff. Half of it is non original anyway so it’s the right thing to do for the instrument. Nobody wants the choke.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

What does the choke actually do?

 

[Eagle]

Nice Pat no .

Pine centre block and spacer.

Good access to the inside.
This weighs a third less than the Sire .

 

[Warmart]

Ehhh, that volume pot looks gnarly! Wash your hands, stat!

 

[Eagle]

What does the choke actually do?

Make Pafs sound like shit.
It was supposed to add character to the tone but I don’t know what exactly how they thought it would.

 

[Eagle]

Ehhh, that volume pot looks gnarly! Wash your hands, stat!

The smell of this stuff is something you look for authenticating vintage because you can’t fake it.

 

[Eagle]

Ahhh vintage

True

 

[Eagle]

Also cobbling together shit to make a 335 loom out of mostly none original parts is not going to save money or increase value.

And factor in tetanus shots!

 

[Eagle]

The one thing I take away from this is I don’t want to wire another 335 for a week or two.

 

[la szum]

Part of why I sold my 335 is because of that miserable access.

Gibson briefly made an ES-333, I believe, that had control cavity access.
I put Fralin Pure PAFs in that one and should have kept it.

 

[AutomationBias]

Mine wasn't too bad, but I did kind of feel like I'd gotten away with something.

The problem is is how do you talk Someone out of upgrading something that has sentimental value? It’s not easy.

The thing though is that you never know what that persons perspective is.

My Strat is cheap lifeless poplar that most guitarists wouldn’t look twice at. And I’ve put more money into it than it’s worth with upgrading the electronics, bridge, tuners, nut, and a refret.

Most of you would probably think it was a waste of money, but I couldn’t be happier. It was completely worth it to me. No, it didn’t turn it into a CS or a Suhr, but I never expected it to.

There isn’t another Strat in the world I would trade it for. I’ve played it so much the back of the neck is worn to bare wood and worn in just the way I play so no other neck feels as good to me. That guitar makes me happier than any other guitar

 

[Eagle]

I take that in to account or I would have burned it.
