Hi everyone,

Just finished my first TL-1 build. I'm very happy with how I got the action and intonation setup. It plays like a dream in my opinion. But as far as the actual sound, I know I can get more juice out of it by upgrading the internals. I know I need to upgrade the pots, switch, wiring kits, etc. but I don't know which specific ones to get and where to get 'em. Was hoping you guys can point me to the right direction. I'm Sydney-based by the way.

Thanks in advance!

Try using the wiring supplies here at Pit Bull Guitars, or if you are looking for something else, try www.realparts.com.au they have great parts at great prices and are based in QLD!

by getting more "juice", do you mean gain?
Which can be determined by windings on your coils (pickups) and how hard you are driving your amp, amongst other things.

....or if you use a 4 way with a series setup on the neck and bridge pickups!
