My Sunday morning......hate cheap PCB construction on tube amps!!!!!

 

[Christine]

Was looking at it just now, Oh my!!!

I don’t understand that joint he shows, it looked like a set neck joint between a central body component and the neck but he says it’s a through neck. I can’t see the pictures at the moment to check again. Not that that would be an issue at all, just me confused which isn’t anything new. It could of course be a headstock joint but it would be an unusual one, a scarf joint is more usual. Will need to check again when we get home.

Finally out, booked into a hotel, far too late to get into a campsite now and we could both do with a bath to wind down

I'm trying to characterize some pickups and was wondering if anyone could point me at where I can find data (if available, I have not done a search yet cause I figured I ask here first) to populate this?;
View attachment 2992854
Rs = series resistance which seems to be in the range of +-9kOhm but I heard 76 buckers are around 3k?
L = inductance in Henrys. From what I've read it can be as high as 1.5H!
Cp = Parallel interwinding capacitance. I have not seen this number posted but I measured about 18nF on a 2013 Gibson unit.
Any data you may have would be great!

I can't give a like 'cause I have no idea what I'm looking at

Sounds like you both need a break.

Gotta take a look at that.

It is a nine ply neckthrough just like a bird with raised centre. I believe the neckjoint was deliberate to give the impression of being a set neck - Just like on an original double-cut Les Paul Junior/EB-0

That's kind of a slick touch to it.

But it Still needs that bridge cover-gotta have a bridge cover.(it's hard to type w/ tongue in cheek)

Okeedokee, done!(or should that be Okeechobee?)

 

[bylar13]

How did i freakin miss that?!

It was $2000+ then add in shipping and duty etc. I asked, as I love it as well.

Thank you Panokee..

He's a tech head. It's ok, safe to like.

No 66S? My $5 DVM measures resistance only, and the 66S is 9kΩ or maybe a smidge more.

I know, I'm just joshing

Thank you! Of course I want to do 66Ss. Ideally I like to do them all. I have a set of 76's in my 2013 and don't want to disconnect them but will if I have to. The thing is, the more pickups the better. I can then normalize the response data and equate subjective descriptions (punchy, edgy, aggressive, bright, growly, barky, etc.) to a repeatable curve that takes all the variables such as; amp type, speaker type, playing style (pick, fingers, bow LOL) string type, settings and on and on out of the evaluation.

I applaud your willingness to take this on. An impartial rating chart will be welcomed.

I was going to reply, but @hillerup already nailed it. Neck through with a set neck look.
