It's purdy... I like the tailpiece. Does it have a carved top? Interested to hear what the controls do too.

Top isn't carved. Vol + Tone, pull the Tone and it cuts the low end to make it more like a single coil sound.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Sweet... plus a 3 way pickup selector switch?sizzlingbadger wrote:Top isn't carved. Vol + Tone, pull the Tone and it cuts the low end to make it more like a single coil sound.
Is the bass cut adjustable by the pot or just a set value?
I'm really interested as I've rewired my PRS a few times. With the same number of controls, currently I have a volume pot per pickup, with decent treble compensation as they roll-off. My favourite settings are often with the vol at 80%, it cleans them up by pulling a little bass out... I'd never considered a dedicated bass cut. The two vols have other advantages with the 3 way switch of course, but sometimes having a master vol would be handy. Stock, it was vol/tone. I never used the tone knob, and initially I disconnected it, and the whole guitar brightened up. Your Yamaha has a cool configuration.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Well, you know what I had the switching pot kicking around already... so I went ahead and rewired things 'revstar style'.
Fiddled with a couple of other things too... decided to keep the master volume with the treble compensation, and I cut the tone pot's track to make it true-bypassed when tone is on 10... All in all, it's a really neat configuration, and makes the guitar tone more sculpt-able. I might do a vid to show it off.

Chris Buck has his one wired for two volume controls to blend the pickups, I'm getting tempted by one of these hard.
