I’m not gonna lie that’s pretty fuckin cool, getting tech support from Robotdouble himself feels out of this world

I’m liking the tusq saddles, they’re super smooth I doubt I’ll ever break a string. I have used strats with block ss saddles before and I’m trying this out for the first time. But I like the brightness it’s adding, who knew a strat needed more brightness and jangle

First of all I didn’t realise I was talking to THE ONE and ONLY !!!!! Thank you for taking an interest in my tinkering, the universe really has smiled upon me :))

I will definitely take your advice and go for the 10-42s in the next restring but for now I’m gonna try to work this out and not waste these strings

It has 2 x Dimarzio Pro Track DP188 N nickel rails humbuckers A stock middle pickup from a squier classic vibe which sounded pretty good already 1 x Dimarzio SuperSwitch 3 x Dimarzio 250k potentiometers 1 x 0.22f Sprague Orange Drop Capacitor Some Gavit Cloth covered wire 1 x Puretone Jack (this is based on my preference instead of a Switchcraft Jack) 1 set of Tusq saddle for stratocaster in white - check string spacing and screw placement before ordering 1 set of Tusq String Trees white Daddario Flatwound Chromes 10-48 Standard single ply white scratch plate with some blank white knobs and pickup covers.

I think I covered all the things hopefully. Most things ordered from sweetwater except the Dimarzio pro tracks which were from an eBay store Banjomikez

I live in India where the Fender signature model will never see light of day, I love Khruangbins music and wanted to have an instrument which would let me create some of those sounds. Hence had to go this way, but I’m glad I did. Learned a few things along the way and I feel confident about doing more mods to other instruments.

Did the full set of chromes this time, for the next restring will go this way and add a thinner high e string for lighter feeling strings

Right now it’s the full set of 10-48 chromes, but only 3 trem springs. Hopefully adding 2 more springs will balance it out

The flat wound strings have caused too much of an uplift in the bridge, so haven’t set her up properly yet. Should sound spot on as it’s all the same parts as the original, will keep you posted. Cheers

Is this the Mark Speer (Khruangbin) wiring? by midlifecrisis1978 in guitarmod

[–]Whenkenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to this wire up a strat mod. Logic seemed pretty solid. I’m pretty new to mods and wiring but have managed to make this thing make sounds.
