Guys, regarding pickup pole pieces and string spacing, is it best if each string is right above the pole pieces?

If that's the case, what could I do to resolve this? Definitely not a good balance, too much volume variations on each string.

Yea man, didn't check properly before. Sigh.

Neck pup is also a bit off, but it's not as bad.

Yeah I think I should've gotten the F-spacing one. I thought F-spacing is just for Floydrose and Floydrose only.

P-rails are awesome, variety of tones. But finding the sweet spot might take some time. But then again, maybe that's because of the wrong spacing.

Wait. F-space is the term used by DiMarzio only. SD uses trembucker or something like that for the same thing.

I guess trem = Tremolo = Vintage trem on strat = Same string spacing on Tele = Bla bla bla I'm still Fked-up.

WTS - SD P-Rail Bridge Zzzz

Haha yeah will include that under "Reason for selling" section.

Mind share a photo? Is the alignment as off as mine?

I think you should include soundclip to describe "wwaaeeeh' to 'ahh' and a lil bit of 'uhh".

Woah, before this I always thought the "F" in F-spaced means Floyd Rose.

You're right, I really learned the hard way that it actually means Fender.

Damn...

Low E string doesn't give me problem at all, though I must say you are right, it seems very close to the edge of fretboard. I guess it's a good thing for me because it's easier to fret it using my thumb that way.

Saddles aren't stock, they're Graphtech. I forgot how's the spacing like using stock saddles.

It's a MIM Tele Deluxe.

I assure you they are big volume variations on every string, especially on cleans.

What I did was; switched pups WITH pickguard, because the original pickguard that mounts the Fender Wide Range humbuckers has slightly bigger pickup holes (FWRH is not the same size as normal humbuckers). I also changed the saddles to Graphtech. I think each of this alter the string spacing and pole pieces alignment a little, but together they turn into this significant effect.

I guess I'll just bear with it at the moment.

I'm actually thinking of digging another pickup hole to make is HHH and then install Bigsby and then reverse headstock and then killswitch and then KORG Kaoss pad n then built-in Zvex Fuzz Factory and delay and then sustainer pickup and then piezo saddles with separate stereo jack. Urmmm, what else did I miss?

Haha it seems you two are really inseparable. One would go bore without the other and finally will drag the other into anything together. Shhoooo schweeeet!

On another note, I just didn't like the sound of FWRH, hence swapped it together with the pickguard, and the Graphtech saddles are for longer lasting strings and to reduce tone over-brightness.

Gais, another technical q.

I got this cheapo HSS strat, no sound coming out, I suspect the pots are busted. Hence I just replaced the two pots, but before reassembling the pickguard/backplate etc I just plug it in into the amp just to see if my wiring is correct.

There are sound coming out as I pluck the string, but before I could get excited, it died again.

I also noticed that I've forgot to rewire the grounding at the back of the guitar (the one wire that's soldered to the trem claw). After rewire it back, still no sound coming out.

What could be the problem?

How to know whether it's working or not?

Funny thing is that there is sound signal but just for the first 1-2 seconds the moment I plugged it in, and then it dies again.

Imma replace the input jack with a new Switchcraft. If that doesn't work too, Imma give up and send it to tech LoL.

This one is cheapo beating up guitar so didn't receive much TLC

Guys, what do u use to power ur pedals?

Cioks? Joyo? Handmade power supply?

What are the diff between these brands?

How long would that last? Say, on a Wah pedal.

Unplug both in and out or just either?
