Thanks again.
Thanks Colin,
Out of curiosity what did you have to do to get the tone pots working?
A few more!!
After about 3 and a half months i finally finished the LucaTrem Jag dedicated to my son.
I am really happy with how it turned out. It plays great and sound better than I expected. I didn't think...
Thanks Scott!
Here are some pics of the wiring. I'm thinking the white wire from the humbucker came off during shipping. It looks like it should be re-soldered in the first connector spot.
I'm trying to make sense of the wiring diagram. My kit seems to be pre-wired differently. I'm thinking that the color of the wires is irrelevant.
In the picture I've attached it looks like the...
I haven't been able to work of this for a while. Been busy with work and my son's activities.
I have now finished the body with 5-6 coats of a water based semi-gloss finish. The bridge has been...
I was finally able to remove the inserts.
I ended up using the claw hammer leverage technique suggested by Dikkybee007. I had everything I needed on hand so I thought I would give it a try and it...
Looks like we only have fancy pants Cherry pitter's here in Canada. Too bad cause that seems like the easiest method.
Hi guys,
last night I tried to gently tap them out from the bottom with a nail punch and it barely moved and i could see it was damaging the posts so i stopped. I'm going to examine all the info...
No worries Simon,
I put the posts in upside down so they have to come out anyway!
I'm going to try using a nail punch that i have and gently tap from the bottom where you highlighted in red on...
I will do that. I know Simon has a few good suggestions here as well.
I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers!
Hi Colin,
Yea I noticed that I put them in upside down. I wonder if it makes much of a difference if i leave them as is. I have a feeling it will be quite difficult to get them out. Thanks for the...
I put them in with the narrow side facing up. Not sure if this really matters.
This is how i was supposed to push them in (without the screws)
Somehow I thought they had to go the other way.
Thank you so much Sonic mountain and Wazkelly. I really appreciate the help and the pictures really make it clear to me.
In my excitement to put in the posts and move forward i think I put them in...
Thanks again Simon.... I was starting to feel too confident. i'm going to slow down and go back and re-read the user manual again.
Thanks Simon,
Ugh!!! I did not pass the grounding wire. I wanted to install the bridge so I can then make sure the neck is in the right position to properly drill the holes for the neck screws.

Hi Everyone,
I'm not familiar with this type of bridge. I'm assuming it should just lean up against the posts and the tension from the springs and strings will keep it in place.
Am I supposed...
Thanks Simon,
I appreciate the Feedback and I did notice that the holes in the body were very tight. I will do as you suggest and slightly widen the holes in the body first.
Thanks Colin. Did you use a drill press? I'm out of luck in that department.
All I have is a hand held one.
Thank you so much for the information.
I will do as you suggest. I do not however have access to a drill press. Is using a hand held drill out of the question?
I'm planning on upgrading the...
Hi everyone,
I just finished putting 4 coats of water based finish on the body. I used a wipe on poly for the neck.
Was I supposed to pre-drill the holes for the pick guard, strap holder and...
Once again I sanded back some of the white wash stain and it gave me a really cool, blueish grey, white in some parts of the grain. I then wiped on and immediately removed a little more ebony stain....
