Re: Electronic issue
Well, this issue has resurfaced/evolved. When in mono mode (button in), the sound is normal for the first minute. However, a hiss begins to develop and then the sound becomes pretty distorted (think 8-bit fuzzbox guitar tone) and reduces in volume. If I switch to stereo mode, the distortion is gone,...

First non-Parker guitar purchase since 2006
As mentioned in a FS thread, I have been wanting an ‘ergonomic’ guitar so that I can play at a 45degree angle. I was considering an Abasi, but I couldn’t snag one in the last two drops and started looking into Strandbergs. I posted a few pics on this post https://www.reddit.com/r/strandbergguitars/s...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I finished the job! It sounds great and these saddles have noticeably less friction than the USM variants. I ended up soldering the Ghost summed output to the pre-existing, shielded black wire that was still soldered onto the board. The black Ghost output was soldered to the shielding ground and the...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
Another thing puzzling me is how that shielded wire was soldered to the underside of the bridge - Was there a track the Fishman element leads were summed to which was isolated from a section the wire shield was soldered to? Like so: 4E52C6A2-F937-4883-A3E4-3418CCD799D0.jpeg So I believe I could hav...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I thought that these two terminals are equivalent, but they are not. Terminal “A” is a ground. Should the summed output be soldered to “B”? D33EF54F-11E0-43B8-BFF2-00539621D81A.jpeg Edit: ok, so I missed the fact that the black wire going from the bridge to the board is shielded, with the inner bein...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
Decided to quickly test before making final solder. Got it all strung up, flipped to piezo only, held the last wire on the board’s terminal and, alas, no sound :( I have the black summed saddle wire grounded onto the common ground anchor, have the black Ghost summed wire soldered on the bottom-far r...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
So, given that the white summed lead should be soldered to the termimal where the green wire is soldered, I should just be able to solder the white summed lead to the aforementioned ground anchor, correct?

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I soldered that right to that anchor:The remaining half of the black wire soldered to the underside of the bridge should be connected to whatever grounding point it can reach.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I’m hypothetically down to my last solder point (hard to focus with 4 kids!), but I want to verify it before I do it. The green wire next to the board’s gnd (black lead) seems to be the common ground - the ghost’s hot (white) should just be soldered to common ground? F0DE4255-FD4A-44D0-9F45-E71FF044...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I split the pre-existing black wire so I can just splice the black Ghost summed output to one half and solder the other half to the common ground. No reason to unsolder the wire from the two spots on the pcb just to redo it with a new wire.

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
I removed the tone knob to give easier access while drilling and I enlarged the existing channel to 3/8”. Realizing how fishing each connector through would progressively more difficult, I decided to fish all wires through in one fell swoop. I taped them all onto some dental floss and pulled them al...

Re: Concidering Graph Tech Ghost in Fly Deluxe
Trying to match up my guitar with the schematics in the FAQ: F4104420-52BF-48FA-A71C-83A4E18EDAAF.jpeg This doesn’t seem to correspond as the orientation of the wires is different.
