OK, so I gave up on the Mega Strat project. As I said before, I am no expert when it comes to guitar wiring, but I have replaced more than a couple sets of pickups, replaced switches and pots, and did a complete rewire of my Peavey T-60 without any trouble. I haven't ever had...
I fixed the "inverted switch" problem in the original wiring diagram... bastards. http://medinaline.net/pics/megastrat-wiring-fixed.jpg I am trying to get up the nerve to get started on it right now. Wish me luck. ----------- Update: 8:35PM ------------- I installed the new 5...
OK, I finally got back to it and purchased the replacement 5 way switch and push-pull pot today, as seen below. I would just like to step back for a moment and rant about the "shopping online kills local businesses" thing. To me, it's fast, easy, and a hell of a lot cheaper to...
What was previously known as the strat with the most, the blue fender, has now been torn down for another, less radical, radical mod. I received a set of Fender Custom Shop '69 pickups for Christmas and have been trying to figure out what to do with them. I found the following...
Thanks to Ryan Cox for having this on his MySpace profile. Les & Mary were an awesome pair.

Over the Christmas break, my car, a 1993 Mazda MX-6 V6 broke down at my parents' house. The distributor was failing. We replaced the igniter, coil, distributor cap, & rotor with still no spark. Eventually, replacing the pickup got it back up and running. Total cost: about $500...
I went over to Tom's house last night to jam on drums with some of his friends. I had a great time. I haven't played drums in a long time, sadly. Most of the time, when I do play, it is just for recording purposes. I haven't sat down with other musicians in a long time. The ja...
I have made significant progress on integrating this WordPress blog script into the site. I just canceled my blogspot account. There are categories now, for those who may not find web development interesting, but like to hear about recording... or... because I wanted to catego...
I found out yesterday, near the end of the day that I actually had today off and the office was closed for New Years. Sweet. Merry New Year! I have been working this morning, transferring my blogspot account over to this locally installed and controlled WordPress script. Open...
