It's looking great, Barnesy! Nice shine!
I dont see why you couldn't cut the plug thing off and solder yourself.
I didn't see your question last night, but cutting the plug off and soldering to the braided wire would be no problem at all.
Attachment 23394] a bit of electronic work
Soldering all done just have to get it all in without braking any Attachment 23395
Mr Setzer, what a player!Quote:

wow that's stunning well done Barnesy. Do you need to feed the wiring loom through the neck pocket ? presume there are more switches so probably won't fit through the F hole
Thanks wokkaboy the neck pocket is the biggest hole so i figured it would be easier than the fholes or the pickup cavitiesQuote:

I'll be waiting to see how you go! The finish looks great!

So it all went in alot easier than through the f holes ill test out tomorrowand see if i broke any solders. Not sure about the pick guard think i like it better without
Wow! Dress it up and it looks even better! Well done! Fingers crossed on the solder joints... you could plug it in to an amp, and lightly tap the pickups with a screwdriver to check it works.
Your guitar so your choice.... but I would say it looks better without the pickguard.... lovely finish, seems a shame to hide some of it
Wow looks really nice. Impossible to say re pickguard, I like it either way.
I left mine off. Didn't want to hide any of it, but I think it looks good either way
Nope it didn't work pluged in this arvo and buzzing looked in the fholes and ive had the earth wire from the jack to the pot come off buggerQuote:

Not the neatest, but you can see the solder has completely flowed into the holes and soaked through the wire. Hope that helps?
Yes it looked like that but let go on the back of the pot
Attachment 23599 after 4 or 5 goes at the wiring finally got it working, screwed everything on and glued the neck in this afternoon
And then a guitar was born!Quote:

Attachment 23610 trussrod cover and graphtec tusq nut glued on
Attachment 23628Attachment 23629Attachment 23630Attachment 23633 strung up this arvo and hanging with his buddies. Going to let it sit for a few days till i do the action and intonation
Interesting TRC Barnesy. A little jarring to the eye at first, but I like the way it copies the headstock contours.
Nice Collection. The green LP is speaking to me.

nice one Barnesy the GR has come up a treat and love your collection
There’s some road miles in that axe...
Thanks 20 odd years ago it was a translucent blue burst, it was one of the first things i brought when i started working i used to think it sounded great till i put good pickups in the builds ive done , its getting that old i dont want to play around with it just leave it as isQuote:

Intonation done and a nice set of phosfer bronze strings , looks and sounds like the real thing. Sounds quite nice acoustically a lot better than i was expecting.
The strings made a big difference to the sound both acoustically and through this amp, its very nice to play
Sweet result Barnesy, really lovely looking guitar.
That looks great, Barnsey! Well done!
That looks soooo good, fantastic work
Thanks guy's
Wow, top stuff Barnsey. Beautiful guitar.
