Ive checked for continuity and shorts with a multimeter, but if anyone else wants to tell me how to check if all the pots and switches are working using a multimeter, I would be much obliged.
wokka... sticker was just knocked up using shapes in Excel, its inspired by a bunch of ones I saw online and in guitar shops, by peering in the holes of old geetars.
I rubbed it down with a used teabag, too, to give it that aged appearance.
(Who said those treasure maps in primary school were a waste of time? :D )
you can alligator clip pickups to the circuit and follow the passive current using the Ohm setting on your multimeter through the circuit. Follow from pickup leads -> pick up selector -> Vpot lug 1 -> Vpot lug 2 -> Tpot lug 1 -> Tpot lug 2 -> output tip.
That's how I've done it in the past. Not the most electrically inclined (but learning...) so if anyone has better suggestions I won't be offended :p
Beef, coming along very nicely. Love the sticker and looks like you've scored a premium flame maple neck!

Sending this logo off to the printer to get a decal made up now I know the sizing works.
that logo fits the shape really nicely Beef, nicely done.
So will the lettering be black like the mock logo ?
Should look really cool, make sure you try and apply it straight !
Will it be a waterslide decal logo ?
nice work Beefy, that wiring looks neat. I like the logo and it is full of retro goodness, nice job

Its a custom job from these guys, using this material.
I hope it comes in looking as good as I plan.
Fungus crust! (as our New Zealand friends say)
I dont think it matters if its not straight... I mean... the headstock isnt actually symmetrical :D
AND!
Look at the lettering on the real deal!
Its a bit kooky

Now.. who knows where I can get me some MOP style pick guard material.
Because I would like to redo the truss rod and pickguard to suit.
The stuff on ebay looks good, but our friendly Chinese sellers descriptions do not match the photos, which is a bit annoying.
Realparts have some and Aussie stock
Dont know what it is like, but I have been pleased with previous purchases from them:
