I'm just curious, what is the advantage of that as opposed to just turning the volume down on the bridge pickup and leaving it connected? Is there actually a notable sound difference?

Mostly it was because I had to completely rewire the thing and I didn't want to spend time hooking up a bit I wouldn't use. And I didn't have enough of or the right pots.

Yeah I recently spent â‚¬450 on that Firebird having it setup (the works, fret leveling) and rewired by a luthier here in Dublin by name fo Derrick Nelson who has built guitars for U2. It plays like a dream now and the action is nice and low. That's my number 1.

here is a shitty cell phone (instagram) pic of my #1 & #2 guitars at the moment..

it half goes here and half in the shortscale section.. but i'll just post it here

CP HH Jaguar (that i've swapped the neck pickup for a cp jag single coil...)
still wired with a kill switch.. neck roller knob does nothing
bridge roller knob is still essentially the humbucker -->single coil blend
Lower control switches
neck - neck pup on/off
mid - bridge pup on/off
bridge - phase reverse switch for neck pickup

BT Jazzmaster
Neck pickup is CP jazzmaster pickup
Bridge pickup is GFS "Vintage Split Humbucker- Classic Fender Style" sounds like a PAF crossed with a WRHB but i'm happy with it (certainly not a WRHB sound that some would expect)

I love those guitars, freakin' awesome.

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:21 am

it should be noted that on the jaguar, i replaced the MIM? 9.5 radius baseball bat neck it came with, with a 1966 duo sonic II skinny as fuck neck.
and i much prefer it now.
i suspect i'll eventually replace the largish 9.5 radius jazzmaster neck with a vintage spec neck at some point as well.. (probably just an allparts strat neck though due to pricing)

did you change the bridge to a mustang bridge?

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:31 am

jag/jazzy bridge
i had a mustang bridge in it for a while, but my low E kept popping out..

me and TOM bridges don't get along very well. historically. except on Les Pauls.. (i have two.. i can say that... well a harmony and an epiphone..)

see, i'm tempted to think this is a myth, as my coronado has hotter pickups than any other vintage fender i've owned (and i've had quite a few now). maybe mine is some kind of circus freak.

well, i cant compare with other coronados, but my silver pick ups they are not as punchym, sharp etcetera then now my 66 XII. Ok to two different kind of guitars but still

the neck PU is lets say acceptable, the bridge PU naaah.. does not do the job for me

but nevertheless, I love my coronado

and would never get rid of it

Seems likely. Mine is whisper quiet. Also a 66.
now i'm wondering if a previous owner has had mine rewound or something. it's the only coronado i've ever played so i've nothing to compare it to.

in any case you are lucky since they do the job

Looking good! Are those the CP Jag/Jazz pickups I gave you? Glad to see they're getting some use and hopefully they sound good.
