The modified wah sounds great! I'm about to do the same thing to a v847 and hope to get some tips from you :)

Kde sis nechal dělat to kombo? u koho?

[JohnyZepp]

Součástky jsem koupil z US. Zesilovač jsem koupil jako skládačku z Soultoneamps(.com), bedna je z Mojotone(.com), ale koupená přes ebay, kde vyšla levněji než jsou oficiální ceny. A repro jsem koupil u nás, protože cena byla srovnatelná a ušetřil jsem na poštovném. Do fungujícího stavu mě to potom složil Dušan Zeman.

What do you think about the Fralin Woodstock 69 ?

[JohnyZepp]

Well, I am pretty impressed with them. I tried also Fender custom shop 69, but Fralin suits me more. I think they sounds more vintage like. I also changed the pots and capacitor from stock to 250k pots and NOS 0.1 mfd - the same as in 60's. Unfortunately I haven't tried other Fralin PU's so I can't compare to others. Because of their price I was worried if they will be OK, but it's worth buying them.

For the moment, my MIM strat is loaded with Lace Sensor Hot Gold , 250k pots (master tone) and a Sprague PIO .02mF cap. It doesn't suit me well so I think (before changing the pickups) I'll probably put a Luxe Cap .1mF and a Orange Drop .048mF cap, that I could switch, choosing the one a prefer with a mini switch. I'll add a treble bleed and 3 news CTS pots. I'll post videos. For the moment I find my strat a little too "thin" and trebly compared to my other strat with a shitty 0.48mF cap :)

[JohnyZepp]

Yeah, I know what you mean. First I had .02mF, than .05mF and now .1 which suits me the most - because I prefer thick tone - and there is some difference after changing to .1mF. Let me know when you post video.
