-----------------------
...I recently bought a 1953 National Triple-Neck Grand Console (thru the forum--from Charlie Hase in Vancouver). It's sexy as hell and the tone is sparkly, but it has a peculiar quirk that I would appreciate any input/advice on:
The 3rd (furthest) neck is loud and ballsy, the middle neck is quieter, and the nearest neck is quietest of the three.
The difference in volume between the 1st and 3rd neck is huge--so much so that I run through an overdrive pedal for a volume boost when using neck #1 to compensate.
It happens whether all 3 pickups are on, or just one at a time.
I'm assuming this isn't intended design, but don't know what the cause may be. Would this require a cleaning, rewinding, rewiring, pickup swapping?
Anyone have experience with this? Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dwayne Martineau |
