EnBluego (pix)

Post by Mo Law-ka »

as you may know, im redoing enbluego to some color. right now, im stripping it to bare wood. any color suggestions?
also, as with when i redid the wiring earlier, i wanna do something weird with the wiring.
i was thinking either:
1. master volume, bridge & middle tonz controls, standard 5 way blade switch, kill switch, 3 way toggle switch for a. Standard wiring b. all off c. bypass tonz and straight to output.
or
2. 3 concentric pots for individual volume and tone control, standard 5 way blade switch.

iam converting it to a hardtail. ill need augs help with that.
and finally, pickup suggestions. its not routed for humbucker, so i can have any combo of 3 singlecoil sized.

I tried that on the ShadowMaster and it was a disaster. Simply slap on a hardtail and be done with it. sorry.

If I was you, I'd just use a strat trem and just lock it down. They work fine like that. Plus they're are plenty of em around and will keep the resale value up.

I love Lake Placid Blue. But alot of guys use it, so I figured I'd suggest something different.

I already told you to leave it as is and just put a clear coat on it because it looks awesome all trashed like that!

The white actually looks pretty cool though.
