Thanks mate, due to time constraints it's all a little bit at a time, wherever I can. Moving forward though, if somewhat slowly.Originally Posted by wazkelly

haha Franky, I've always told people if you don't like sanding then don't build axes and get involved with woodwork haha
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Its my own fault, after i'd gotten the resin fill done and cut back to the body profile, i looked at the really squared shoulders of the cutaways either side of the neck rout and decided they needed to be rounder. Out came the files and shinto rasp and scrapers and hence I'm sanding again. One day i will finish SOMETHING!

Top effort Frankie. Looks like magnets holding on the rear plates?

Yeah mate, I saw it in one of Robin's builds and thought it was a great idea. I like cleanness of it, but it is a tad fiddly.

Yeah, I can see a small recessed part where I presume you use a fingernail or 5c coin to pry it open.

1. Just because PUP Manufacturer A and PUP Manufacturer B use the same wire colours, it doesn't mean they use them in the same order. Check BEFORE you wire up Entwistles to a DiMarzio diagram.
2. A nice Clear and concise Wiring diagram bears no actual resemblance to the electrical spaghetti that results from attempting to follow it.
3. Active Soldering Irons are hot.
4. Parts you have just applied a soldering iron to are also hot.
5. A carefully laid out and meticulously planned control cavity does not happen if you choose to make sh!t up as you go along.
6. Active Soldering Irons are hot.
7. Wire insulation is surprisingly tough to strip
8. Small gauge electrical wire cores are surprisingly easy to shear.
9. Solder likes to resist for as long as possible, then melt rapidly and run away out of sight, usually to bridge between terminals out of the view of the Solderer.
10. Active Soldering Irons are Hot. So are drops of molten solder.
Here endeth the communication.
