OK Nela, is this a guessing game?  I've got 3 possibles:

Friday the 27th of June.... Starts the first weekend of "official" Summer (here in the US)

Aerosmith was the first major band to allow a free download of the entire track of one of their albums (1994)

Well Roger?   Haven't seen your review yet.... so how'd 58 work out for you in that kind of venue?  Or did somebody just walk off with it while unattended?

Just Curious.

+1 with Bluejeep for the Brass pins.... for some reason (hardness?) they do sound better. AND really aren;t that expensive!

Doug

Which tune, what instrument, and ?????

I'm with Dino in confusion about this post.

Don't forget to ask about that "bulk" discount!

Sorry Elizabeth, no luck on my part, even from watching the video.  Did notice on the you tube video that the guitar she's playing has 8 tuners...?

Wondering if it's some guitar shaped bazouki or somesuch???  Seems Warner Music holds the copyright, so you might be able to purchase the sheet music somewhere, but no links to anything free out there I could locate readily.

PS: Almost forgot to Welcome you to the Chordie Forums.  Wander down to the Chat Corner and introduce yourself to the community,

Beamer Buddy, you're giving me nightmares!  Seriously..... my little grey cells were grinding on your project the better part of last night.  My conclusion is.... yes it can be done!

I actually figured out two ways but both require cojones grandes.  The first is to get up against the largest band saw any of your friends owns.  It needs to have at least 13" of cutting height.  Slab off about 3/8" from the back and route in a channel for your wiring. Cut out the face for the additional pickup, Glue the back on after all your wires are run, and plan on refinishing the edges to match after you are done.

The second is to gut all the components out of the body and with a long 1/8" (like 18" worth) drill bit shoot a hole across the body diagonally through the jack hole, across the pot recess, and into the switch recess.  Increase sizes until you are comfortable that everything you need to run through it will fit, and then cutout for your third pickup and (hopefully you will hit your hole somewhere in that opening) AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!

Then again maybe I'm over thinking this.... they had to go from point A to point B, and just might have left you a passage.  Have to pull the pickups out and have a look.

As for switches, you are going to have to be a little bit creative, but this might be a good place to consider push-pull pots or at least one to tap and untap that center pickup, or drop it out of the chain completely.  Stewmac has all that stuff and lots of wiring diagrams, tutorials etc. that might be helpful.

More input....  Just for grins and chuckles, lit up the tablets & checked it out a little bit deeper.  Sad news I'm afraid, tablet browsers (of most flavors) won't run add-ons, so to work around the darn ad problem, Devon has all the tablets running through a proxy that strips the ads off of the web content before it gets out of the router.  We who are more into things with "real keyboards" are left with our add-ons intact.

So that to a certain extent explains why I at least have not experienced that banner problem....

Buenos Tardes,  Man you aren''t asking much are ya? LOL  Something like 35 years later, kinda one of those needle in a haystack searches. Chances of the guitar still being in the Phoenix area are pretty small.... but then again we do have a massive membership spread all over this small planet, so miracles can happen from time to time. 

If you happen to have a photo hanging around to post, someone just might recognize it.

Good Luck to you, and nice hearing from you.

Wow, 9 views and no comment yet?   Well try this.... assuming you are using a "wheel" mouse and a windows product, if you click the wheel it should enable the auto scroll feature. moving the mouse either up or down will increase the speed (or decrease) and clicking again will turn it off.

Sometimes it can be easier than scrolling with the wheel.... but mostly for me just an annoyance.

Welcome aboard Guillermo, pleased to see you're posting.  Feel free to wander down to the Chat Corner and introduce yourself to the group.

Also Grah1, good little chunk of prose..... meaningful I'm sure to all of our allergy sufferers out in Chordieland..... If you hear knocking, it's not the door, just my desk getting a couple of taps as so far I have managed to "dodge that bullet".  But living where I do it's just a matter of time.

There are a lot of good vocal mics out there.... and you can go broke collecting them, or.... get your hands on a Shure SM58 which is likely the best all-around piece of kit out there.  AKG makes some nice ones, but for the money and quality and durability you really have to go some to beat Shure.

As for pricing, it does pay to shop around, but I would expect you could gather one up for around $100 USD, or less. I own two, but wouldn't part with either of them, one is wired and the other wireless. I've tried less expensive microphones, and really really spendy ones, but in the end it all comes down to the frequency response range and you want the widest possible in your budget.  Some cheaper mics sound really good in the mid range but sound like crap in the high or low .... particularly if you are thinking about recording instruments with it as well. Some consideration should be given to your vocal range also.  Try before you buy if possible, and Happy Hunting!
