hello to all of you out there!
i recently bought a love rock that was built in 2000, a korean model, but i think it is the same as the 2001 le model (2 piece mahogany body, tokai paf pu's). i definetely love this axe, although i have to admit i am only playing now for about a year, and thus do not have much comparison or expertise. i can only tell the HUGE difference between this and the epi lp studio i had before - wow, what a piece of crap this was, it didn't stay in tune for half an hour, the frets were extremely thick, the soud was pretty dull etc etc. (anyone want to buy it from me? :smile:
after i got the guitar, i installed a gibson 57 classic (neck) and a classic plus (bridge), and that did it even more!! the sound before, with the tokai pafs, was very high and almost brittle (i guess, due to the 1,5 cm maple top), and with gibsons it changed to a much warmer tone, producing exactly this warm, round and full sound i was after when switched to the neck pu and driven through my marsh jtm 60 on the boost channel with gain set to 9 o'clock. simply great.
craftmanshipwise, i don't know what much could be done any better; there was 1 little, little bubble on the cutaway, the action was too low, but who cares? and now finally i am coming to my
main question:
when the pu switch is set to middle position and i turn off one pu, the other doesn't give any sound any more. only when i turn the muted pu back up a little, the other pu comes back fully. thats really strange. because, even though i changed the pu's, i copied the original wiring pattern completely, and already then i noticed that it was different from what gibosn does in their lp's.
does any of you out there in the wide world have experienced anything similar? and, if so, what did you do about it?
greetings from oliver, bremen, germany
