I bought and converted this from new; this is my second one of these as the first one sold a week or two ago.
On this second one I have stayed with the angled tuners and the change to a hotrail single coil at the neck for clear Fender tones... for me the best tone is with the humbucker and single coil in unison, but you will find your favourite settings.
It is a baritone guitar and this one has a 27.25 inch scale length... the wide neck has a 48mm nut width giving 40mm E to E, and going from low E to high E at the bridge is 62.5mm.
That video above is me playing the earlier HB baritone conversion... everything is the same as this except I put a set of nines on that one but am trying tens this time; if you prefer nines I can change it before I post it to you?
Look at the slimness of that neck in the pictures: it makes an Ibanez wizard 2 feel like an old telecaster! And when it meets the body you hardly know there is a body to meet!
Checking the pictures I am just reminded about the extra cable you see running out from the mounting frame of the humbucker to the bridge pedestal... earlier there seemed some static crackle and without pulling the threaded socket out of the body (chips to the coating etc) there is no way to see if the wire makes contact, so I made that second earth wire to the strings... though while I was soldering it the crackle stopped and I think it might have been on my old workshop radio!
This afternoon I cut all six string grooves in the nut again... I have brought the first fret action down good and low and you can hold a barre F without even knowing there are strings to press!
Message me any thoughts or questions that come to mind?
Thanks for reading through,
