pohatu771 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Is that Worn Cherry, or a different colour? I really like it. Maybe that'll be my next guitar - with the pickup/pickguard/knob changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadedepi Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Memphs 1978, Here's info on Dream 180: From GFS Website. GFS Dream 180 These are clasically gorgeous humbucking pickups made to combine the chime and jangle of vintage Filtertrons with the warmth and body of a great pair of vintage PAF's- To accomodate modern playing styles we wound 'em HOT- and vacuum impregnated them with enough wax to make a candle. The result? Dead quiet, yet loud and toneful! Polepieces are matched to the string spread- 2 1/8" at the bridge, 2" at the neck. They're fabulous sounding- Big and full with LOTS of Filtertron tone, but with a fatter, warmer and yet crunchier body. Thanks to the metal shell they are dead quiet , and the sense of string attack and dynamics is flat-out fabulous. Faded.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphs1978 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 ah... well thank you for that info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think that really makes a nice cosmetic improvement.. and I'm sure it sounds better too. Good job! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thom, your DS looks great! It's cool how we can unique-ify our guitars. I stayed with the all-black theme with mine - black Mean 90s, solid black pickguard and TRC (TWANG, too). Now I'm looking for solid black speed knobs. I'll post photos when I can borrow a digital camera (or take pics with my quaint 35mm film camera and scan them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill67 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Can you wire a dot humbucker to be just single coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Can you wire a dot humbucker to be just single coil? Not with a 2-wire bucker, which most of the stock ones are. You'll need a 4-wire to do a coil split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
