    Don't think so, mate (and would that prevent it producing sound?)

    WeirdBits, I rewired it according to your instruction, but now I don't have anything at all (just a scratch of static when I plug the amp cable into the jack...)

    Thanks for the suggestion Waz, but I wired it exactly like Adam and his mate did in the YouTube video (and the earth wires were bare, making them difficult to confuse)

    Finally got a chance to get back to this build.
    Wiring question: Pretty much finished, but I've messed up the wiring somehow.

    Here's the problem: When I set the switch and tap the bridge pickup I...

    Kit. I hear what you’re saying. I understand people wanting to upgrade the likes of pickups, it just seems so wasteful to produce something that doesn’t actually function (..?)

    Machine Heads: I've got a couple builds on the go, and after screwing in to the limit, both sets of machine heads are still swimming around.

    Did I sand the head that much?

    Or does this happen a...

    I actually immediately thought it was far better than the traditional headstock shape.

    It has much more gesture and movement in it; like a form from nature—a bird’s head or something—that has...

    Anyway, I'm happy to hear comments and constructive criticism. This is something that needs a pretty broad appeal so I'm interested in your thoughts. Fire away.[/QUOTE]

    So guys, holes/gaps etc aside, the neck is actually sitting in the pocket quite solidly. The strings here are pulling ever so slightly to the bass E side, but do you think...

    John H, I don't think it was actually the fault of the Tried and True—I think too much stain had just gunked the whole thing up too much.

    And the answer is: none… none more black.

    I...

    Gotcha. Actually, I did some research and I think you can get three square feet of veneer for $15 or something from Home Depot.

    I’m going to try and do a dry fit again. Adam at Pitbull suggests...

    Great!

    So Simon, do you just go to your local hardware store and ask them for a square foot’s worth of two millimeter maple veneer? Or do you have to cut it down from a bigger chunk?

    Then, I...

    Having taken a close up look at that front edge of the neck pocket I'd be really concerned about the side veneer and the roughness of the top edge where the fretboard/Neck will meet it. It might pay...

    Gilly’s GR-1SF

    So I’ve sanded the stain and oil off the Wilko telecaster and spray-primed it for painting.

    While I’m waiting for it to dry I’m going to start my next build (yup, hooked already).

    I never...

    No, I only sanded after the stain. I put the Tried and True on anyway afterwards just to see if it improved things (but it magnified the imperfections).

    Maybe I'll see if any oil will come off...

    Well, it looks like I’ve totally made a dog’s dinner of this. I tried to sand it a bit after I’d already put too much stain into the wood—like sanding toffee—and now it’s marked up like a ski slope...

    Tommy, I want exactly the same color for my kid's guitar!

    Is it Rustoleum "satin" ?

    And you put three coats on? Nothing on top of that?

    Aaagh! Can't get Dingotone here in California. I'll look for something similair (for my next build—GR 1SF semi-acoustic Gretsch style).

    Thanks!

    Once I've done all that I'll have to go and lie down in a dark room, with a cool flannel over my eyes, and a mint juelp in hand..

    Can someone field another dim question for me? Shouldn't there be an earth cable attached to this bridge pickup..?
