Wokkas IB-5

3 IB-5's, one LP, one Riccy, one SGD-12..... well, good luck to all!!!
Hopefully I only have to do 3-4 coats on the neck to get it to look right! She's wired up, so we are just waiting on that neck!

good work Pest, have u tested the wiring ?
You still got 19 days to get it ready for August GOTM bro !

I did, first impressions are I messed up the shielding... I'll wait until I rewire it before I double check the shielding, I still have to test the bridge pup though, I only recently wired in the new cap

Nice work Gavmeister :)

Thanks DB, Pest have you wired the output Jack correctly....tends to hum as if you stuffed the shielding if you havent!

Hey Keloooe

Did you earth to the shielding?

The main reason I ask is that I had terrible hum on a previous build. I had earthed to the bridge, but not to the shielding, when I earthed to the shielding, the hum went away and everything was sweet.

Don't exactly understand the electronic side of it all though, so was sort of guessing my way through (with some help from the interwebs) :)

Gavin, yes, I know how to wire a Les Paul by heart!
Analyst, I'll see what grounding the shielding to the ground lug in the jack to see what happens

Good luck with the build Wokka. These Ash bodies are just amazing aren't they?.

+1 for having Ash as an option. I too would pay extra for that.

Alright folks, we've heard the call and we've ordered some new kits in Ash. We'll have ST-1, TL-1 and EX-1 kits in Ash in late August. We'll see how these look before we order other models in ash.

Drool.......GAS kicking in big time in South Geraldton!
