the rise and fall of the (Epiphone) Toby Club

Hi guys. Some notes.
The position I put the P PU is very close to a standard Precision's. Because of the shorter body, 24 frets and extra long neck pocket for the truss rod alignment section, you can't go any higher without risking integrity of neck-body connection

I think passive guitars are their best with a single pickup. Mixing different sources with an active mixing circuit keeps original PU character untouched because of how they load each other otherwise. At least a switch to truly bypass either one can be used to eliminate that effect.

The bass knob on the original circuit isn't actually a bass boost but a cut.

You can get a lot of usable tones with different cap and resistor combinations from a single PU. From all bass, no hint of treble (which isn't possible on normally used cap values) to all open. You can even boost mids passively with cap+resistor. That's actually what happens when you roll the tone up to about half-way on a generic guitar tone control knob. With a selector, you can only cut highs without boosting any mids.

And, I like mine with flatwounds. Fits the comfort theme. :D
I used a bridge with 17mm spacing (self cut, topload enabled. lol) and so it can be played comfortably closer to the bridge and thus you still get some growl when you want that even with flatwounds.

I'll update when I make the sidemarkings mod. Tiny dots are hard to catch in the dark and that slows you down or makes it harder to play. Well at least I feel better with large markers, as a non-pro player. :)
good info here, worth the entire thread, thx.
