Alas I'm satisfied with my tele, p90 les Paul special and OM Eastman acoustic.

Holy shit. Never seen so many RDs in one place.
Specs on the Explorer and the Firebird? I have been looking for a white Explorer for ever, and I very nearly bought a Pelham Blue Firebird with Lyre tail vibrola in Japan a couple months ago. Luckily for me when I asked the sales guy about it he told me it had already been sold.Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

They are a rare bird for sure. I wish I had been aware of them before "Ghost" when you could hardly give the things away... I really want to find a vintage one with all maple body/neck.
They are both pretty much standard. The Explorer has a mahogany board which makes it pop a little more. Explorers are one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played!
The Firebird is also pretty standard but it does have the Steinberger tuners which are soooooo much nicer than those stupid clunky heavy banjo tuners. The FB is likely going to get returned though. I picked it up used at GC for a fair price, but I'm not totally into the way it balances when played standing (neck heavy), and it's not as good in the lap. It puts the neck out farther than I like.Gravity. It's the law.

My Explorer is nicely balanced, as are the RDs. The FB is almost passable, but having so many guitars, no point in holding on to one that doesn't blow me away.

Yep, the neck and middle are 2/3 of a Seymour Duncan "Everything Axe" set that I had in my old Danelectro Innuendo. I sold the bridge with the Dano and saved these two anticipating this build. The bridge is a Railhammer Bob Balch. Joe Naylor of Reverend came up with the Railhammers to clear up humbucker mud and it totally works. Rails on the bass strings keep things tight, and oversized poles under the treble strings keep things fat. Bob Balch of Fu Manchu is one of my favorite guitarists so if he's got his name on these... I'm in. I have his sig. Reverend as well and it's a killer axe.
The bridge has a coil tap switch. Pretty stoked on this (assuming I did it all correctly)!Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

I usually sail the FAILboat every time I try wiring something... nice work, and great choices!
I have a Duncan JB/59 covered set to transplant into my Silverburst RD. Not at all impressed with the Lace Sensor Hammer Claws that came in it. Not sure they quite hit the billing, but here they are: http://www.lacemusic.com/Brent_Hinds_Hammerclaws.php.
A touch too generic for me, which is interesting considering they are a "signature" set.Gravity. It's the law.

I really like the JB in the neck position of my tele. I should set up a coil tap switch though. It really overpowers the bridge.

The best thing about wiring up guitars is that if you blow it - you just re-solder until you get it right. Schematics help! Of course nothing I've ever tried to wire has had an exact schematic to follow so there's usually some trial and error - and this particular one took me a couple years to muster up the courage to start actually wiring once I had installed all the pots and switches and so forth.
Before taking things apart and re-wiring, have you tried just lowering the neck pickup and/or raising the bridge?Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

Learning guitar as an adult: lame or not?
The JB is flush with the pickguard. And the bridge is already pretty high. Plus I'd like the flexibility of the coil tap. Wiring is easy.

Give yourself a bit more credit...it might be easy in theory (which I don't understand either), but it is an art to do it WELL. I wish I was better at it. Better equipment to do it would help...
New locking tuners are arriving today, so the project on the Silverburst begins this week!Gravity. It's the law.

I think it's the soldering that people have trouble with. That's the easy part for a welder.

Random but maybe this is the right spot for it... think anyone here would be interested in obtaining a PRS Hollowbody II with piezo pickup? I've got one that I just never play, seems a shame to leave it sitting in a closet. The pic below isn't mine, but it looks pretty much identical - could take actual pics if anyone was interested. Will probably just put it on consignment somewhere, but would be happy to have a mag playing it instead.
The piezo pickup is sweet - you can use the bridge pickup to get an acoustic sound, or the humbuckers for more traditional electric sounds, or blend them. It's also got separate outputs so you could send the acoustic pickup to a DI and the electric to an amp for totally separate tones. Super flexible.
