    2nd - SG-1F mod to a trip hum!

    I'm baaaaaack!
    Ordered my kit today! An SG-1F which I will be modding to a triple humbucker set up.
    I'm going to do a purple fade from black with Either black back and sides, purple neck and black head stock face. Or black sides, back and neck with purple head stock face, maybe 2 tone fade.
    I'm putting black hardware on it and going to custom fab my own bone nut again.

    I'm doing push/pull pots each with vol/tone and a master vol.
    Going to either do 3 way switch with mini on/off switch for middle pup or do a standard 5 way switch.

    Also going to do a full face scratch plate, no 3 pup configs I've seen have a full scratch plate only the half one.

    So many ideas! But I'm so keen to do another build. I will be doing my video diary again, that seemed to be a hit!
    This build will take quite some time as I work full time and also am studying a bachelor of accounting which takes up a lot of my home time so when I have a spare moment I will be tinkering about.

    Excited to share this adventure with You all!
    Cheers 😁

    Hi Shazz, looking forward to seeing how this comes up. We didn't get the chance to meet the last time you were here. If anyone mentions the loopy Tasmanian, they're normally talking about me. Stupidly, someone accepted my account, and now they can't get rid of me!
    Good luck with the build!

    Heya Zandit, nice to meet you! I don't have any traits except for challenging DrNommis to the longest thread. He doubled mine haha
    I almost got put in the sinbin too for going to the big green shed... lucky we have a few smaller hardware stores around 😜

    Cheers

    Hi Shazz,
    Looking forward to your Build.
    I see you're from Nowra.
    I grew up in Bomaderry in the seventies and later spent time at the 'Tross and then Creswell before moving to Tassie in '93
    Played lots of Gigs there in my time too...... (I see that the Leprechaun has changed greatly)

    May even be up there later this year visiting family......

    Heya Hobastard, cheers, I'm super keen to do it!
    Small world hey! I'm a local born and bred. Grew up in Berry then have moved around the Nowra region (minus myself living in Syd for 2 1/2 years) now my husband and I have built in South Nowra so won't be going anywhere for a while.
    Yep it certainly has! I don't think 1 of the pubs is anywhere near the same as it was 20yrs ago
