They really benefit from some time adjusting the heights. I would have liked to use BKP singles as well but it wasnt to be. Personally i dont think BKP's are any louder than any other brand unless you go for the higher output models. It should match well with the sds-1's because the singles can go closer to the strings and are more adjustable than normal strat ones - they are built more like a p-90 with magnets either side of screw polepieces I like BKP's too much to not have them on ther guitar. The original Seymour duncan holdsworth is apparently just a JB with double screw poles so thats what most people use. The original has Dimarzio SDS-1's and a Seymour Duncan Holdsworth custom humbucker. Will the Seymours be a good balance with the Bareknuckle bridge? The one commonality I hear from everyone using BKP is "loud!" I just wish I had enough money to get a set. Pickups will be 2 dimarzio SDS-1s and a Bare Knuckle prototype in the bridge based on the alan holdsworth seymour duncan First off we upgraded to sperzels over gotohs we also went with chrome buttons to match the bridge rather than pearloid of the original we took a couple of liberties with these. They have been reversed to left handed use now!!. The black and chrome bridge was probably the hardest thing to get - it came from allparts japan in the end it does have 22 frest instead of the originals 21 but i reckon we can live with that!!
#TUX GUITAR JAKE E LEE PRO#
The neck is a warmoth pro because it has a skunk stripe and head end adjustment, although i need to see about getting a bullet truss rod adjuster on there even if its just a truss rod cover in the same shape. i wasnt willing to go with a swimming pool I could have just left them and done them myself but since jakes started as a fender it makes sense to have the fender rout there first. I reckon its worth the sacrifice in authenticity! I got warmoth to route normal single coild because they wont do them angled. We also allowed ourselves to ditch the 3 bolt neck plate for a 4 bolt with contoured heel. Most of jakes other guitars were alder so we decided to go with that. The body is alder even though the fender was most likely ash. We discussed getting a licensed neck and finally decided to get neck and body to speed the build up. I am using warmoth parts because the customer wants an authentic fender headstock which i wont do. I am allowing a few differences from the originals specs - but not many!! It is actually a 1974 sunburst hardtail strat that got converted by a charvel builder who lived with jake - even reshaped the headstock from teh large style one I am not making a relic so wont be doing the wear or dodgy ground wire from bridge to jack. Ok, this is the guitar i am doing a replica of
