Guitar Project Questions

[Miss_EpYoN]

I want to build a guitar, but I'm kind of stuck right now on the setup. I want to put my EMG-hz's, that I replaced with an 85 and 81 in my DKMG, in a body and have a stoptail. I was thinking about buying a neck from warmoth and getting a strat body. Also, if i could take out one of the tone knobs in my setup, so it would just be volume and the tone/turger charger. That way i could just go for an RG body and have an Ibanez neck like i realy want. I'm just looking for something easy that i could put together by myself without any really hard work, i.e. drilling holes and shit like that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

if you want to make something out of ibanez parts, i'd say that your best bet to find those kinda things would be ebay.

Also note that Warmoth doesn't offer a neck that will fit an RG body to my knowledge.

Yes, I knew all that already, but what I really want to know is if I can take out one of the tone knobs in the EMG-Hz setup that somes with the DKMG's. I want just the volume and the tone/turbocharger, if it's possible so I can put it in an RG body.

Warmoth "Pro" necks will not work on an AANJ heel due to the location of their truss rod side adjustment. If you need a body... even RG style let me know. I'm building those now as well as the other ones listed.

Here's the wiring diagrams for the EMG HZ's from the emg website. Maybe this will answer your question:

Yes I knew all of that already. I just want to know if I can take out one of the tone knobs in my EMG Hz setup that comes with the DKMG. Make it so it's just the volume and the tone/ turbo charger knobs.

Removing the tone control is easy, just clip the wires and remove it.
Does THAT answer your question????

[Miss_EpYoN]

Haha, yes. I didn't mean to post that twice!! I checked the other day and my post wasn't there. I thought it didn't post it so I did it again, and when i checked it had both posts, bah. My bad...

You can use anyones wiring schematics, just pay attention to difference in color codes between pickup brands.....

The setup you want, is easy- look at duncans wiring schematics as well.

BTW, I have a guitar with HZ's with one vol, one tone and 3 way switch.... you just need to add the turbo into the schematic.


As for *simple* guitar assembly, either buy a kit, or get neck/body from warmoth with the options you want.

[Miss_EpYoN]

Sweet, can you show me a pic of your wiring? I can just substitute the turbo charger for your tone. I'd be forever thankful...

This is the page with the schematic I used- at the top shows the wire color codes, and about the 3-4 diagram shows 1 vol 1 tone with switch. I think it would help a lot more than an actual pic of my "spaghetti wires", but if you'd like, I try and hunt down the camera...
