I just don't have enough time for this project and I'm perfectly happy with my 2 humbucker guitars.

I'm sticking to the ol' bridge humbucker and neck humbucker with a good ol 3 way switch setup.

That being said I had this put together a while ago and never installed it on any guitar. Please check ...

So I bought this poster size kodak photo off ebay and had it framed- I'm pretty stoked on it

So this thing has a sonic blue warmoth alder hardtail string thru body with contoured heel, carvin neck with the ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets, gotoh tuners.

I just got the allpartsjapan JEL replica bridge installed and made some adjustments.

With the black pickguard it's got a Gibson T ...

Hey guys I have the Jake E. Lee allparts japan bridge and was wondering if I should use the regular steel saddles it came with or some graphtech stringsaver ones i have lying around? opinions?

Thanks Jefnel-

Yeah I should just buy a body routed for pickups and no holes anywhere and just drill them all myself.

Here's the problem though- even if the string holes did line up, I'd have to shave off part of the pickguard- where the top of the bridge touches the pickguard- the space between ...

So I have to share with you what happened and get your input.

I have a hardtail Warmoth strat body with a regular allparts vintage hardtail bridge- nothing special- one like this
Allparts USA . This bridge has a string spacing of 2 and 3/16 inches.

I then bought a JEL bridge from allparts japan ...

Man I love this forum you guys rock

Deansolo- KICK @$$ !!!!!!!!

Yeah I saw that- Lame- shame on those guys for doing that.

Jake is one of the most talented players of all time. At least if you're gonna make fun of someone, don't do it to someone who doesn't deserve being made fun of. Poor taste.

would a DiMarzio ProTrack be a totally different animal?

Do you suggest the Virtual Vintage Solo or the Virtual Vintage Solo Pro?
thx

EMG SAs are cool for that compressed/processed David Gilmour, Steve Rothery, Andy West-Oram kinda sound. I'll probably have another strat with SAs in it, but for this one, I'm keeping it PASSIVE. Someone just suggested a DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Solo Pro. Interesting. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Does anyone know what is a good substitute for the DiMarzio SDS-1? I want to put SDS-1's into a guitar I'm building but aparently they have horrible hum so I'm kind of afraid to do so.

Should I put a DiMarzio ProTrack in there in it's place? Any good SDS-1 sounding replacements? Open all brand ...

Awesome- thanks guys- I think I'll stick to the JB. Glad to hear you guys like it. I should have known LOL- if Jake picked that one- hell it had to be a good choice. Just wanted to double check with you all- so thanks a bunch guys!

Peace. I'll post some pix of it when it's done. And by the way, it ...

Howdy all-

I am almost done building my jake guitar. I have the two DiMarzio SDS-1 singlecoils but I need advice with the bridge humbuckers.

Now when it comes to the bridge humbucker- is a Duncan JB really the best choice? I've been thinking about a DiMarzio Evolution 2 or maybe something else ...

Thanks Dean as always for the updates of info

I just meant anybody getting an interview with Jake is near impossible and I'm sure he's not in any big hury to do it.

Re-read my post and realized I sounded like an ass- apologies to everyone especially Deansolo. In the future, I'll keep my thoughts ...
