I'm not all in on the Jerry rig... though I do have the SMS/Mc/JBL rig, I just can't get down with the OBEL or the look of tiger or wolfe. My band isn't a dead band (I wish) but I really dig the tone and Jerry has been a huge influence for years. I've built two guitars to see how close I can get and yet not appear totally deadhead-ish. These started with bare wood and it took a great deal of the summer for me to figure out the woodworking and finish parts. Here's what's there...
Strat... generic neck and Warmoth body... has a battery compartment in case I decide to imbed the waldo board (it's now on my pedal board). Two Dimarzios with the mid split. The neck is a lollar blackface.
SG - rebuilt wood structure to avoid the batwing pick guard. Dual low wind loller imperials. A dimarzio split coil in the middle.
Both middle pickups are 22.25 inches from the nut to the far end of the pickup.
I've only played the SG for a couple of hours this evening. The strat still needs intonation... so maybe tomorrow. I'll post thoughts as I explore... but would love your thoughts, suggestions, and even criticism.
