Chris Buck’s Offset Project
How To Build A Partscaster
In this episode Huw assembles an offset partscaster for Chris Buck using a mix of modern and vintage parts from Golden Era, Radioshop Pickups, Home Of Tone, Allparts UK and Reverb.
If you’ve ever felt like putting together a partscaster, Huw shares tips on neck attachment, bridge and trem location, shielding and installing the electronics.
And lastly, a big thank you to Chris Buck for providing us with some demo footage.
