Whitch "tone" knob is the blender? The bottom one?

If it's not screwed on by the time you get to the shop next tie, Michael, It'd be cool with a pic of the internals/back of the PG.

This looks more amazing with each new picture, btw.

"Whitch "tone" knob is the blender? The bottom one?"

The reason I ask is that the pot nearest to the pickups looks different from the others (the fender no-load pot) and I thought that should be the blender, but on the picks it looks like it is the volume pot. Am I right, or just overly nitpicking? ;-)

...And if the blender has only an ordinary 250K pot, I won't be able to turn the neck pup completely ogg at all, right?

The tremolo will be set up "floating" like fender specs, right, and not flush with the body/block pulled all the way to the body?

actually, if you look REAL CLOSE and REAL HARD you can just see a Kinman logo "imprint"...

BTW, Kinman did really awesome vintage 'parchment' tinting, i think you will be very pleased when you see it in person!

I hope I'll get some pictures of the finished guitar in proper light sometime soon. Maybe even in it's tweed case.

I think I'll need to go get some anaesthetic or something to handle the wait for shipping. ;-)

...But I hope those "009" string envelopes were for another guitar, and mine has the specified 010-046's and the nut to go with them.

No need to fret over the details - its still only  "work-in-progress".. :)

right now its just 'hanging around', with strings on (while the neck acclimates to string tension).

In a couple of days we will proceed with final completing and setup. Maybe by friday i can give it final inspection and play-testing ( and record some sound clips...)  :)

Tenative shipping date is AUGUST 16th

I too am in serious guitar pic withdrawal at the moment. I hope to see some photos of the finished guitar soon... Some clips as well would clear my symptoms right up for sure. ;-)

...And: I was wondering which of the tone knobs will be used as the blender? The bottom one seems most "logical" to me, but what did you guys choose?

There! At least I bumped "my" thread back to the top. Perhaps that helps also.

Well, if you`re driving home from Haugesund you could probably pick it up yourself on the way instead of doing that boring Oslofjord tunnel. Grantet we brought it, of course ;-)

I thought of that, but considering the fact that we're not starting until mid day and I'm probably a bit tired after the 315 mile drive, it's probably best to drive straight home, and pick it up the day after instead.

...But I'll think about it, and we'll work it out before the weekend.

...IF you bring it, yes.

here they are: http://shamraybass.com/0079test/ 

5 little clips, one in each switch position - each encoded at 128K, and under 1 minute.

My apologies for the lackluster playing... i really didnt do this MAGNIFICENT guitar justice! :sweat: 

Once again,  i left it to the very last minute (i have to bring 0079 back to the shop tommorrow morning) and once again I found myself banging out some recordings at 2:30 AM ! 

Its been an EXTREMELY busy week for me, what with us having TWENTY-FIVE export guitars currently in various stages of build, and more orders being sorted out....

Yessss! Thanks so VERY much! Those are absolutely fabolous sounding! I'll probably listen to them a million times while waiting for the guitar.

The playing is great too! No need to apologize for that! In fact it's very possible that that was the best playing the guitar will ever experience. ;-)

I'm glad you think it's turned out good! Ut certainly sounds that way. I LOVE all the sounds, but the neck+mid and the bridge alone are my favourites of the five clips.

Did you try the blender, and the neck+bridge in parallel option? Does it sound good? Tele-ish?

Oh: Is it OK if I use those clips on a web page about the guitar?

Again: Your service to us customers is unparallelled! Above and beyond! Thanks a million for your time and effort!

I'm crossing my fingers for my "special" courier transport to come through! ;-)

its basically modelling a "1958 tweed 1-12" (18 watt, 2 6V6s) running into a modern VOX 4-12 cabinet. I didnt have time to fiddle with the guitar, just had all the knobs turned all the way up, and flipped through the switch positions....

OK. Great. I think the blender set at "10" means that the neck pickup is NOT blended in with the others, so that should give a correct representation of each pickup and the normal selector positions, right?

Thanks again!

On friday, as soon as i got to the shop, i did a full inspection on your guitar, discovered that the no-load pot actually wasnt behaving very nicely as a "neck-blender".

Since Lars announced he was going to take your guitar back to Norway with him, we didnt have time to order a 'TBX' pot! So, we rewired the guitar as follows:

Master volume
tone for neck & middle
no-load tone for bridge (bypasses capacitor completely when turned up to 10)

It sounds even better that way! We put on a fresh set of Fender bullet 10s, and packed it up in bubble wrap.

So its ON ITS WAY HOME today. I gave your shipping money "rebate" to Lars. (it worked out to US$170 after accounting for packing materials)
