Bob I was looking for info on Hamer Futuras and came across a post from you mentioning a one off split head Korina std. I seem to have acquired that guitar a couple of years ago. Exchanged some pics with Peter F. Thought you would be tickled with an answer to your enquiry from 19 years ago. Best nick

Hey Dutchman, I'll take the OCD pedal if it's still available.

That would be awesome!! I've never done anything like this and not sure how it would work. ??

I really appreciate your offer to help!

Greg, I have a WGS G12q in a special order 4 ohms that was made for Fender amps. Not overly loud. It sounds like a Fender type…. Like new condition. 
If you want it let me know.$45 plus actual shipping.

Peace,

Mark

i also have the Jon Herington (Steely Dan sideman) T Pro.  Check the board for history, links etc I posted.

I also have the Greg Vorobiov Tally. A couple of videos wher he demnstared some amps (Crema Wheta?)

Also check The Designer's Work sjop blog (Jol Dantzig) for build history on both.

Not sure if they would interest you and I am not sure I really want to sell.  But check 'em out on the web.

Not sure how to PM you but I'm interested in the Light Green and Korina Standards when you get to figuring out prices.

draelyc,

I did the upgrade myself and it wasn't too technical.

My biggest concern before taking a deep breath and drilling the two holes was making sure they were reasonably far away from the original holes,  not so close to the side that the pots would touch, fairly even to the f-holes and that, when I was done, they looked "original"....

I built myself a plastic layout board (jig) that I could mount the pots and the switch to for soldering....

The layout was based on the three existing holes in the top.

In other words, after removing the volume and tone knobs, I laid the jig over the shafts of the 2 pots and the switch thus locating the 2 new holes to be drilled.

There was plenty of room through the bridge pickup cavity to feed the harness through....

It actually went smoothly with no big issues.

I would think that, since I had no big issues doing this "mod", any good  guitar tech wouldn't have any problem.

I still have the plastic template if you'd like me to get a copy of it to you....

Being a fan of separate vol and tone controls for each pickup, I have never understood why some builders (Hamer & PRS amongst others) give you only one vol and tone pot for two pickups.....

I really like the way it turned out.....

Tim.

That sounds awesome!  And yes, I'd definitely be interested in the template, if there's a way to share it.  I don't mind the single volume control on my Mirage, since it's laid out more like a Strat anyway.  But I love the two vol. controls on my Studio and was a bit surprised that the otherwise very traditional hollowbody Newport just had the single controls. 🤷‍♀️

Sorry it took me a while to write back ~ didn't see the notification.

Thanks!

Christopher
