I'm thinking of finding a used hollow or semihollow electric to try some mod projects on, just for fun. One will be a rear access cover similar to the plate on "Lucille" for working on the electric parts without having to go through the f-hole.
Thank you for sharing this. As it turns out, this tone circuit is not very effective, and it is something that I might work on when this guitar comes back to the shop for the fret nib repair, probably in the fall.
@@GuitarQuackery also, always check polarity of cap. 1 in 12? is wrong polarity as marked, if marked at all. grip between thumb and finger when in guitar cable circuit with amp on, less hum is the way, more hum is baskakwards
@@raffyzoo2130 Interesting. I actually remember watching an old video form Mr. Carson's Lab, about foil cap polarity. He made a small device to hold the cap in place that switches polarity, while holding a cap that's hooked up to an oscilloscope. But it never occurred to me to use his test for guitar caps. But it does in fact make sense. The static that shows up on the scope screen will be hear as noise.
@@GuitarQuackery i use half a guitar cord, shield soldered to alligator clip(ground),center soldered to diff alligator clip.(+), both clips screwed to small wood thing. if polarity is correct, cap outside is ground, and less hum when pinched by hand. use an amp, you should hear a small diff when switching the cap, uh, reversing it.
You can also see how well the guitar is built from the inside. Sure is a time saver!
Although I didn't mention what that scope was used for, prior to it being used on my customer's guitar.
Clearly used in all manner of f-holes!
Another great video . I really enjoy your channel. It's educational, entertaining, and relaxing!
Thanks. I guess I'll just have to make some more, LOL.
If you really like the channel, please share with others, to help the channel grow. Thanks.
Fantastic vid mate! That was a great watch and very smart idea. 😎 Keep em coming 😀👍
Thanks, will do!

The wiring through the F holes isn’t exactly my favorite thing to work on, either.
@@GuitarQuackery I have a hollow body, (The Loar), that would really benefit from treble bleed circuits, but I dread doing the job.
cap can go anywhere in circuit so between pot and ground for minimum hum is my choice.
