did this today at robert(original)'s house. the pickguard covers all the routing. i still need to drill the holes for screws, pots, and output.

its neck pickup only, and i plan on having a kill switch, volume and tone. cool, innit?

Lovely. Kind of '51ey.

dig. soehow i think it should have a bridge cover

I think it would look well with a big chrome control plate on it, like whatever is on those old Hagtsroms or whatever they are.

dude, put a fucking strat jack on the guard



that would will be huge balls

i wish i could get a bridge cover for it, but its not one of the vintage style bridges.

i wish i could get some more chrome on it, but i dont want to drill any holes in the body.

that neck pickup sure will be lonely all the way up in that sea of pearloid.

Double sided sticky tape?

Wow! Great minds think alike! I love the red/pearl combination on that guitar!

This guitar features the first neck that I built completely from scratch and boasts a longish 25 3/4" scale length! I built it in 1982.

The pickup is of the Kinman vairety and I got a little tricky with the tone control for this project. I wanted it to look very clean and simple so, I sawed the shaft off the tone pot, cut a little slot in it, and soldered it to the bottom of the volume pot. I don't often use the tone controls on my guitars but wanted to have the option of pre-setting it in case the guitar was too bright sounding. Anyway, there it is. The Monocaster!

pickup from the mysterious TRIBI

2 pots, theyre supposed to be vol-ton, but they dont work like that. its more like TON-nothing.

i also bought a killswitch, but havent installed it yet.

One of your pots aren’t grounded, On my tele project I did the same thing and when I fixed it I missed it so much that I put a mini toggle so that I could go between the strange tone tone circuit, which uses more of the amp's characteristics, and the volume tone.
