Dava jazz grip for me. Got used to them and now I can't use anything else. They are awesome for dynamics control. https://www.davapick.com/buy/p/jazz-grip-delrin I tried the Dunlop tortex flow 1.5mm and its way too thick.

I have the molecular. I love it but it's too much for me. Really good tone, just too aggressive. I'm selling it and getting their 2203 with some switchable mods from their JCM102. They are top shelf boutique products.

That looks like Guilford . Check them out on reverb https://reverb.com/shop/guilford-guitars

I'm loving that. I really love the look and feel of ash. Nice work there!

From what I've read online, the finer you sand before Odie's oil, the glossier the sheen you'll get. My next finish will be Tung-oil finish applied with sanding paper, from 320 to 1500 Last coat with Odie's oil, applied with 2000 grit pad

I made a couple mistakes on my first build: sand too smooth before applying danish oil oil drips on the sides that I didn't see didn't wipe oil in the cavities quick enough didn't cover all holes while applying finish cut the neck pickup wire while drilling pickup ring holes (the hole aligned...

Great! I want to see the odies oil finish on it since it's what I'll use when I refinish mine next year

Rings installed!

Sanded, now soak the rings in natural tung oil finish (Saman Legend), let sit and wipe dry.

Preparing to sand the curve in the ash pickup rings

I used the 36th using the 50s wiring, which defeated the need of a treble bleed. Did you try with the 50s wiring?

I'm always tinkering and checking how things work. I think the pot sounds good but I hear some crackle sometimes when turning it. I'll try some contact cleaner. The lights are Philips Hue. I like those kind of toys :D

I disgress. It's a matter of personal preference. Unless the linear taper would cause this kind of strangeness. If it's the case then I stand corrected.

When at 100%, output resistance is measured at 9k, as advertised by my pickup's packaging. As I turn down the volume slowly, resistance starts to raise, and when at 50% of the pot, reistance is araound 130k. It starts to decrease again as I continue to turn the pot towards the 0% position...

You will love the 36th. They are the best DiMarzio pickups I ever had!

Thanks! Well, I wanted to remove the black metal covers from the 36th. Once removed, I found plenty of wax potting all over, so while removing the wax as best as I could, I damaged the pickup wind, and they died. I get no resistance reading from the pickup now... I love the 36th and would get...

After one year of my 2-tone swamp ash VIP build, I grew tired of the finish I had on it. It was a thin blend of mineral spirits, tung oil finish and Minwax wipe-on poly. Although I was pretty proud of myself for a first build, I started to dislike the plastic feel of the poly, and the top had...

Thanks everyone for you tips! The holes were already drilled from my previous direct-to-wood installation. I got the pickups today and tried mounting them with some rings I already had laying around. It works perfectly! Those rings are temporary, I'm waiting for ash rings I'm ordering from...

I'm late to the show but this looks amazing! You have great taste!

Hi all, like everyone else once in a while I changed my mind. I want to change the pickup mounting of my VIP. I got the wood mount humbucker route and now I want to use pickup rings instead. Is there some way of doing this without having to Dremel out some wood? A set of Fralin Modern PAFs are...
