Holyfuckingshit.

Awesome work Hurb. Doesn't it look PERFECT, Doog? All black and shiny and lovely.

Fantastic.

Absolutely Brilliant. Do Want!!!

FIN!

Had to take it apart again after first stringing it up because I'd wired the pickups in phase, and had wired the 3 way so towards the neck = bridge pup..

But it's done! Yay! Thanks loads to Hurb, NickD, Bassintom for their help and parts, it's most appreciated. Vid and review to follow.

Why is in phase a bad thing?

Anyway, looks really, really great. I can't wait to hear it.

Is in phase the thin clangy one? That one, either way. It's fun, but I prefer the classic neck & bridge sound.

It does look really really sexy. I still do want an all black strat.

Actually I want all my guitars to be all black with maple neck.

Thin one is out of phase.

MUSTANG LIKE PLONK?

how DARE you?

Post by **Doog** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 2:25 pm

Haha, nowt wrong with that.

I need to file the nut down a bit- it looks like a homemade one, and runs a bit too high on the bass side.. can't be arsed to cut the slots deeper.
