glad to hear that! it's been an on going project ever since i murdered it for no reason about a year ago, really hoping with a new face and fancy electronics will bring this back to life!

yea, I think the white looks a lot better with the black hardware than the blue did.

push pull pots in place, wiring it up tonight!
with any luck it will work first shot, but the jack i have is a bit iffy, might have to get another before too long
and i am missing a screw for the bridge saddle, so i can go without a string for a while, or i can shell out 15 bucks and get a cheap import set. or go to the hardware store and hope to jesus i can find a similar screw...

I really want to hear this thing. When I eventually buy Reece's Artcore I'm going for P-rails in it, and about 50 switches too.

haha me too! one string and a frontman isn't doin it justice. super massive black hole gets annoying after a while. i'll do a demo as soon as its done i promise

Clever job with the golf tee. I've heard of people putting matchsticks in to fill the hole, but the golf tee makes perfect sense. It's all looking good.

Do you reckon there'd be enough room underneath the pickguard for me to put the switches there? I might have to do a bit of imporvising with the jigsaw and chisel or something.Reece wrote:haha awesome, that was my plan if no-one wanted it, to p-rails it up.BacchusPaul wrote:I really want to hear this thing.

doubtful. it'd be easy enough to whack another switch on the body really, you just have to do everything through the F hole so it can be a pain.
i should get around to finding the pickguard screws come to think of it, i've not seen them in a long time since i don't have it on.

I was planning on having the three way on the body be a master/lead switch where up is the neck in series with itself, down is bridge in series with itself (for solos) and the middle is both pickups according to whatever the scratchplate switches say. These would control the series/parrallel, phase-in/out, within each pickup, as well as between each pickup. They would also control which of the coils is on in each pickup, be it the rail or the P-90, or both. I think the last time I thought about this I realised I needed about seven switches on the plate.
Also, concentric pots, so that there are eight knobs: volume and tone for each coil.
Probably impossible to do, though it would be great.
