I make the backing tracks. I play the individual parts into the synths you see in the video.
That is an Alumitone P90 Riffian. I like hot pickups. For me it helps me get that old time tone.
Again, thank you all for the appreciation. |

|
Kevin,
Is there any way you would want to sell or share the backing track for this beautiful song? I am having a hard time finding tracks like this to play along with. Any help appreciated. |

| Gee Steve, I would happily share the tracks but honestly I just don't know how. The synths that I'm using are some old technology. They have a sequencer on board and I play each track into that. If I think of a way to get the tunes out I'll let you know. |

Thanks Kevin.
I am afraid I am no help on the recording and transfer stuff.
I have a hard enough time just getting a file to play 
Do let me know if you figure anything out. Just love that song! |

Hi Kevin,
I have been listening to this many times in a row. Love it! Any chance of posting more pictures of your sweet guitar. Especially interested in the bridge. |

Any questions , just ask. The bridge in 3/16 thick aluminum. I routed a slot into the body and pressed the bridge in. That's it.

| Thanks for posting the pics, Kevin. You have come up with a very clean and elegant look. Does the Alumitone mount like a P90 with the two adjusting screws? I like the fact there is no mounting ring. |

| Thank you all for the appreciation. I'm grateful. The Alumitone P90 mounts just like any P90, just the two screws. Again, Lace offers two Alumitone P90s. A standard P90 and the very high output P90 Riffian. I'm using the P90 Riffian on this guitar. One other thing..I am also using a Boss GE-7 EQ pedal to make up for what my amp can't deliver. I like bottom end. |

Posted 29 Mar 2018 9:01 am What pots and cap?
|
|
Hi Kevin,
I was inspired to try a Alumitone P90 based on your video. I am still trying to decide what guitar to try it out in. I am wondering what value pots and cap you used. I am guessing 500K pots and a .05mf cap or so. |

|
| Hey Steve, I honestly forgot what I used. I'll have to pull the guitar out and look at it. I'll get back you on that. although the 500K pot sound about right. |

| Thanks Kevin! I would appreciate it. Not to be a burden, but is there any chance you have tab for this enchanting tune? I am getting stuck in a few places. |

Posted 29 Mar 2018 1:57 pm Tab
|
|
| I've no tab for this. This is just my own arrangement. If you watch the video it should come to you. Just copy the bar positions. I steal so much off YouTube that way myself. You've got to know the tuning being used and the chord changes/progression. If you email after Saturday I'll send you the chord changes if you don't already have them figured out. If you've any other questions I'll be happy to answer them. |

| Thanks, Kevin. Believe me I have watched numerous times. I am sure something will click one of these times. I am assuming you are using some split slants? |

Posted 30 Mar 2018 9:51 pm Alumitone Riffia Question
|
|
Hey Kevin,
After seeing your video I was enticed to invest in a pickup like yours. Looking at the wiring options it appears you can do a coil split like other 5 wire humbuckers. Wondering if you added that option. I did not see a mini toggle on your guitar, but thought I would ask. I was hoping to put it in my 46 Rick Academy project, but it will not fit. I have now decided to put it into a 41 National New Yorker project I have been working on. |
