Gunpowder tele (bringiton Haterz)

aen · Post by **aen** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 4:27 pm

KILL SWITCH. IT KILLS.

This is the body and electronics from my first tele which went Sage Green-black-blue flower-black-gunpowdered.

Yes, my homey literally blew shit up on my guitar body. He laid gunpowder between the body and various other materials (grass, stones etc) to create the effect. The extra hole on the thing is for a face-mount jack, but I gave some other kid my jack plate. The neckplate is from my Squier tele custom II, which arrived without a neckplate, so I put the fender one on it, and then replaced my tele's as soon as the squier plate arrived.

It also has a 4 way switch, but I fucked it up somewhere, and it's only got 2 tonez.

I wired it up YEARS ago, so it was a pretty confusing affair to try and RE-Wire it after my shitty solder joints broke. Theres like, 8 feet of wire in it.

I did the killswitch with a SPST momentary pushbutton, if thats not too much mumbo jumbo. Basically connected hot ot one side and ground to the other, so when you connect the terminals all yalls pickup signals go to ground.

Thanks for the 4 way switch diagram, thatll save me some googles! I might even get some strings in a few days!

I just rewired my strat using one of those diagrams. Very easy to follow! Someone posted the link a while ago and I bookmarked it.

Here's the link again for those that don't have it.

Lots of options there...

Fuck yeah! That looks tasty. Wasn't that a Classic 50's Tele previously?

I think it looks very organic, like it was buried at sea or something. House fire. People will not be able to help themselves. They will STARE at you. It's wonderful. I wired my P90 Stratmaster up like a Tele. I got it to work (the goal) but am not thrilled with the switching.

You've done a lot worse, aen!

Brutal.

I love it.

You know what else is brutal? The fucking Noho neck. I loosened the truss about 2 turns, and my action is about 3" high and it's still fretting out on the 8th. I'm about to take fucking sandpaper to the 9th fret.
