First Act S Type Neck Replacement Professional Grade Lifetime

The concept behind the 7-sound Strat wiring is that it lets you access the two вЂњhidden sounds' you can't dial in with your regular Stratocaster's 5-way switch. Chosen by artists over 3 decades for use on stage and in studio, the Zager 80 Series is the go to guitar for the touring musician or veteran player wanting a professional grade lifetime instrument.

Each cervical disc acts as a shock absorber to help the cervical spine. The First Amendment is for everyone.Cervical discs support the necks vertebral bones while also enabling flexibility. It can be used to push for social and political change, or to oppose change. The First Amendment is neither left-wing or right-wing. If youвЂ™re in the U.S., you have freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition.

Just imagine: You can dial in any tonal shade you want without being limited to an on/off sound.This mod doesn't require much in the way of parts, and it won't alter your Strat's appearance. For example, you could warm up the biting sound of the bridge pickup by mixing in a little of the neck pickup. This made it possible to engage the neck pickup with other settings of the 5-way switch that don't include it.But with this new iteration, we'll replace the on/off switch with a blend pot that gives you the ability to control how much of the neck (or bridge) pickup you add to the mix.

Mechanically, this is the spot where the pot clicks and goes completely open, removing itself from the circuit. This lets you stack two independent tone controls in the space of only one.)The key to this mod is a special blend potentiometer, which is similar to a вЂњno-load pot.' When fully opened, it acts like a type of true bypass control, removing itself from the circuit.It's easy to identify typical commercial no-load pots: They have a detent dimple on the back of the casing. (Most players are happy with a single master tone controlвЂ”after all, it's how a Tele is configuredвЂ”but if you can't live without two tone controls, you can replace one of the tone pots with a dual-concentric pot. We'll convert one of the tone knobs into a blend pot and then wire the guitar so it has a master volume, master tone, and a blend pot.

It should look similar, depending on the make of the pot.This mod works not only on Strats, but on all guitars that have three pickups and at least three controls.Now take a sharp toolвЂ”a razor blade, X-Acto knife, drill bit, Dremel tool, or a small needle fileвЂ”and cut the trace where you see the red line. Place it in front of you exactly as shown in Fig. Now lift off the carbon wiper tray with the soldering lugs. Remove the case and lift out the metal housing.

Reassemble the pot and use the needle-nose pliers to push back each of the four case tabs. Finally, clean this area with a dust brush or something similar. I use a nut file to do this, but other scraping tools will work, as well.

(This is with the pot shaft facing down and the lugs facing up.) Set your DMM to resistance.Hold the pot so you're looking at the shaft: With it turned fully clockwise to the 10 position, you should receive an open or zero reading. The вЂњsurgical method' I just described is the way to go.To test your no-load pot, connect one lead of your digital multimeter (DMM) to the pot's middle lug and the other lead to the right lug. Why? Depending on the pot, the polish will not stick to the carbon taper. This gives you a no-load pot, but without the detent feature.By the way, you may read that covering that area of the trace with nail polish will accomplish the same trick, but I don't recommend this.

Next month, we'll start rolling out two new series: One on handy DIY shop gadgets and gizmos, the other about DIY aging and relic techniques. How cool is that? Incidentally, this mod works not only on Strats, but on all guitars that have three pickups and at least three controls.Okay, that's it.
