Acme Guitar Works - ToneShaper for Stratocaster® (Part 2)

[DeathBeak]

Is this compatable with Dimarzio Area Pickups??

[AcmeGuitarWorks]

@DeathBeak Yes, it works fine with them. Thanks!

can i use this product with 4 conductor singlecoils pickups?

First of all, amazing product and I can't wait to get it, but I had a question regarding how much more modding you can do with this installed in a Strat. If I were to set up the Toneshaper as a Blender (last tone knob) is it possible to put an additional switch to turn the series/parallel on/off or will this conflict with the blender wiring? What I'm wondering is not if I can have both blender and series/parallel features on at the same time, but if it's possible to have both to choose from?

Hey, are these compatible with the N-Tune onboard guitar tuner? 

[javyclubsoda]

HI; I HAVE A STRATOCASTER WITH A ( HSH ) COMBINATION, CAN I USE THIS PRODUCT WITH THIS PICKUPS?

[AcmeGuitarWorks]

@javyclubsoda Well, you could use it if you don't need to split the humbuckers. But we assume you'd want to, in which case the ToneShaper won't work.

Sorry!

Cool! Let us know when you do, I'll be all over it! In fact tell your pickguard company to do the prototype in white pearloid, ameican standard, SSS layout. Then I can get the first one lol. Very cool stuff you guys are doing.

[bluescrusher]

Great concept! Love the simple control layout. What would add to it is to offer a two piece pick guard. Basically using the jazz bass design but all plastic. That way you improve on the old design and allow the controls to be changed without removing strings, and or neck, as on many 22 fret strats. If I had plasic cutting tools I would try it myself. If you guys come up with one I will definately be buying one.

@bluescrusher We'd love to do this and have discussed it, but we don't want to get into the pickguard business. There's only one company that we're really interested in having do pickguards for us, and I've been working on them, and have a "as soon as we can do it with CNC we'll talk more about it" response, so we're optimistic. But until then we don't have a source that we trust, and we definitely are not going into the pickguard business ourselves.

But thanks for the input!

This sounds absolutely awesome. It's a brilliant idea. I change out pickups and wiring configurations a lot...and I always dread having to do it because of the soldering and such...but I'm never happy with what I have so I'm always wanting to change it...this would make it so much easier. I believe I'll definately be getting one of these. Thanks alot for a brilliant invention. Cant wait to try it out!!!

5 star from me...great stuff..

[funkyjones]

Great idea. Genius actually, but...I only gave you three stars as you didn't demo the product. I understand that would be a lot of work but it might have sold me. I usually avoid fancy electronics as from my experience, myself and others usually go back to traditional or simple designs or configurations. But since your product allows you to do that easily, I would have considered. However, since I couldn't hear the differences, I'm not tempted.

[AcmeGuitarWorks]

@funkyjones Yeah, we realize we need to do that and have intended to for a couple of months. But not enough hours in the day. We'll get this done soon, and we have new products that we'll be doing vids for too.

Pretty cool...!
