I have looked around for a schematic for the phantom/prototype with no luck.
the current tone control seems less effective than my similar age Phantom custom.
I am thinking going to a no load tone pot with a .039 uF cap in a 50s style arrangement.
does anyone have any tips?
I am doing a similar build with a single cut junior body. Wraptail, Tele control plate, but with the 6 way Strat switch. BTW I still have to route the bridge pickup cavity for the third coil.
what pot values did Hamer use on the A5?
What does the 10k slammer sound like? I have the most experience with the Duncan equipped phantoms.
I swapped a Sheptone Javelina in the JBs place. It was a 9kish paf type.
Actually I am building a mahogany parts caster sort of like the Phantom custom. I have a NOS HMR1 somewhere around here but at the moment I can't find it. I also have one the earlier singles that needs to be rewound, along with the triple coil mounting ring. I'll just use a regular 5 way...
So what DC resistance was the Duncan versions?
i have an earlier one that is dead. Can it be rewound? what tonal benefit is the magnets sticking below the mounting plate?
It looks like it was screwed into the wood as a mounting like a Steve stevens maybe?
while I am bugging you guys, does...
Does anyone know the specs on the mid to later 90s Phantom(prototype) single coil pickups? They were made by Duncan and labeled HMR1.
Were the slanted neck pickups the same pickup as the bridge? Spec?
Hi,
I think I bought this pup from Bubs42 a couple of years ago.....
Anyways it deserves to be in a proper Hamer.
Trade for:
Zebra Duncan Jazz neck
Dimarzio DP-196 Virtual PAF neck
Duncan SH-16 custom/59 hybrid
plus 1 beer :-)
