Re: 72RI Tele Deluxe Re-wire project. Phase 1 Get the Guita
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:05 pm
I just ordered two Lollar Regals, a new pickup switch and some shielded wiring to go in my Deluxe.
Since I bought it, it always sounded just ok. I did replace the pots with 500k pots which helped out a lot. I also
shielded the cavity and that seemed to help with some noise issues. Now that I have a little extra cash to put into
this thing, I really want to get the most out of it. It has never been professionally setup, so once I install the switch, lollars,
get a good full setup, this thing should sound really fucking good.
I have been gasin' for a black 78 musicmaster but decided to just make the deluxe better. The only thing that I haven't been able to
find info for is what pot value works well with the lollars. Their soundfile of the regals is with 250k pots and sounds pretty good so
maybe I'll change back.
Anyways, in a couple of weeks I will be able to report back.
Cheers
Richard
