Noice.
If you need it, I have the phone number for the I just wired up a hollow body guitar support group.....
It's all cool Db, I have a six pack of beer to deal with the psych issues.... LOL
To tell you how this one is wired.
The selector switch is just chooses pickups Bridge, Neck or both.
The knob next to it is the tone pot, well it's a push pull with two caps wired to it. I don't remember the values, probably .23 and .68uf.
The front pot is Master Vol, and the rear two pots are Individual Pickup Vol Pots.
All the wiring is push back shielded cotton.
The pickups are attached to Seymour Duncan Triple shots, so each pickup coil can be selected individually, or in parrallel(standard), or series.
Now tell me do I need a beer or three :D
Cheers PK
nice progress PK, you'll be playing it soon mate
Pest you should make up a cardboard template to do the wiring so you're not working in a small cavity and it will avoid burning yourself with the soldering iron.
Good luck with the wiring PK and as Ponch says a 6 pack may be a bit lean !
just dont set the cardboard on fire , Pest...
Tks Woks and Stan and Cal.
Wiring has been done for months. To me the wiring is easy except when I wire the pot left to right instead of right to left.
Big problem right now is the archtop bridge is about 3mm too high. I have three options get another lower archtop bridge, drill the knurled knobs down 3 mm(and run the risk of the base breaking, or drill out the post holes and go for a standard LP style(not my prefered option)
Note for Adam, the slot for the neck was way sloppy, in fact it had a taper of about 1.5mm from front to back with it getting wider towards the back. I've bogged it up with glue and topped it with a tapered lump of binding in the top of the join.
The neck is pointed straight at the middle join at the back of the guitar body. So Happy with that.
Had I pointed it in line with the top edge of the neck slot the high E string would have run across the B string pickup post.
So this can never be a GOTM. but otherwise I am comfortable with it.
