Re: Introduction to a new Tuning/setup

Have a few moments, so here is some annoyance for anyone interested: http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/edpackard/PSG%20TUNING%20STRUCTURES/ contains ways of looking at chords, necks, etc. for the E69 4x5, and C69 4x5 setups.

Re: Pickup info

Although there is much more to be covered on the subject, I am going to drop out for a while. The reason is that the time will be spent focusing on the Semiconductor pickup/position sensor/ADC/DSP project. The pickup and non contact position sensor are just about ready for prime time.

For the 30" scale beast, I use the same gauges and setup, but tune it to C. Here it is in C. The same I, IV, V etc neck terminology holds. htt...
