Oops. My mistake--Rio Grande, not Lone Star. Sorry! I've always wanted to try Rio Grande's pickups. They just LOOK so cool.

That's really cool!

6stings · June 4th, 2012, 02:18 PM

Thanks again guys!
I feel I owe you a sound clip, so, here's the first Hot Pot Brownie noodling:

e-merlin · June 4th, 2012, 03:35 PM

That's just stunning!

glen smith · June 4th, 2012, 04:33 PM

It sounds as good as it looks!

adeiderich · June 4th, 2012, 04:51 PM

It's a beautiful guitar but it way too Norwegian for me

sjohnbruton · June 4th, 2012, 05:58 PM

I like.

Please explain the coiled wire in the control cavity. And what is the "Fezz Parka" mod?

I dig the red pots. Did you mask the soldering contact points before painting, or scrape paint off after?

TNO · June 4th, 2012, 09:27 PM

Love the unique style. Really impressive.

The wires around the huge Soviet pio connect the tone to the vol, the yellow is ground.

I found the Fezz Parka's mod (some say 50's mod) on tdpri. Use the search, please, there are many threads touching the theme.

The pots were hand painted, 3 coats, the shaft, the contact legs and the back of the pots were not painted only the parts visible thru the plate.

Here's this little mod they call the Fezz Parka's mod. Very simple, but it really makes tone control more 'live', and it gives more treble with lower volume.
Here's the re-drawn FP mod and how it looks in my tele:

That's exactly what I mean! It reminds of modern "Scandanavian" furniture design, and yes, it is cool and I like it.

Once again, thought this was a bachelor food post - really great looking guitar!
