Going to use the kit wiring parts for commissioning. The switch and wiring design are not fit for purpose with it being able to short the output with the switch in the mid position. I have devised a mod to correct it, but with further thought I am just going to exchange the whole loom. I will mimic the Rick wiring and use a Rick type switch and pots.
First fit has been done.
Managed to minimise the mod to the tuner.
Work left:
Overlap cavity copper onto body so that it mates with copper on pick guard (cavities have been linked copper screening), should be pretty good faraday cage.
Connect pups.
Neck/nut/saddle setup
disassemble and give neck and body final top coat.
Initial commission with PBG wired PUPS
Final commission with Rick wired Pups.
Looking very good!
Nr 1: Red Widow LP-1MQ (Finished) ->Diary<-
And the neck hasn't parted from the body yet
Looks very flash & tidy..... good to see you got your tuner issue sorted out...
