I will research the mid boost suggestion. No worries Kris! There's a guy over here that produces pre-wired control plates with the TBX control and a 5-way switching system. you can find one HERE, there's also a link to a video of someone using one on there.

I was just getting to understand what "PLEK" is since the guitar I just got was PLEKd at the factory. Evidently, only custom shops and high end guitars like USA GIBSONS get this treatment normally. But every single rick hanes guitar gets it at the factory. is it expensive on it's own? QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ May 27 2015, 11:23 AM) Got her back!!!!

May 28 2015, 10:22 AM	GMC Founder Posts: 18.749 Joined: 15-August 05 From: Stockholm, Sweden	Ok so here is what I did with it: Plek'd neck with compound radius, somehwere around 8,5 (nut) to 10,5 (highest fret) - so nothing extreme. But more importantly, string action (and thereby playablity) is now amazing without any string buzzing. I reversed the volume control and pup switch (thanks for the tip!). I added 5 way switch to also give me access to both out-of-phase and series (the facebook video clip above is played in series mode). Intonation compensated brass saddles. Locking tuners. Wish you could see the grin on my face now QUOTE (bleez @ May 28 2015, 09:29 AM) Thomanns do a basic PLEK for just under 200 euros.

Looks like you got the control plate reversed.... cool Looking forward to hearing more of it Thanks Bleez, I am too! And yes about PLEK, to me there are two major points of concern to consider when buying a guitar: Sound and playability. With PLEK you can pretty much make any guitar very playable. (Sound relates to many other factors of course) And you can make make really good guitar fantastic.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Also as I get used to it, I am able to play trickier stuff. I can tell you this would have been completely impossible with the factory action.

May 28 2015, 11:49 PM	GMC:er Posts: 5.667 Joined: 27-May 13 From: Turkey / izmir	After I mod.ed my bridge pu to have more high-end, I also enjoyed digging into the notes. I seriously encourage you to focus that more as tone variety at high gains (on even higher gain and fatter tone which you used) lots of different sound can shine. What comes to my mind is you can half-harmonic pinch during runs, use fatter sounding pick, roll the tone gently down to get an alternate neck-like tone...also as much as the tones want you to dig in the notes, relax the left hand even more cause there is some lightness advantage to speed runs as I think you noticed that when playing hammer on-pull off's Do make more clips I'm curious on how you'll approach the neck PU too You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
