Nope... just gotta work out how I want to wire her up... almost considering the freeway switch, but these pickups are only single coil so it won’t have its full use... need ideas!Quote:

You can use rotary switches too. You can find 5 and 6x positions.
I went with the freeway and it's pretty cool as it looks like a normal SG switch.
I got Seymour dyncan one shots rings for the humbuckers to manage the variations... too many options now! [emoji16]

Yep, it was your build that got me interested!Quote:

And then also have the switch for the pickup variations when on tone?! Am I crazy? HahaQuote:

your SG and my Vee might be related by colour ;P What pick ups are you going to use?
Do you know where I can get a schematic for this setup?Quote:

So I’ve fixed the pickups in place. Everything else is just seated, she’s going to look like such a beast when she’s done! P.s the Husband got me a nice hard case for her, for my birthday! Winning!

That looks pretty awesome! Well done!
What about the fretboard, are you going to stain it darker?
Cheers swanny! I’ve done a coat of lemon oil to treat the timber, didn’t come up quite as dark as I was hoping.. but now it’s piled not sure there’s much I can doQuote:

To keep just the current controls, you're probably better off having a volume for each pickup and a master tone. The volume for the middle pup can either just 'blend' it with the other pups or be a push/pull so you can switch it in/out of the circuit.
I was following you're sg build on YouTube Shazz was wondering how it was going after you routed the body for the 3rd pup love the purple and chick's who are not afraid to grab a screw driverQuote:

I hear you Shazz, i done a few videos of my last build but haft to edit them and combine them but video editing isn't one of my strengths, i think its cool your not afraid to get your hands dirty or grab a power tool tell the "boys get out of my way ill do it myself" ill be keeping up with your YouTube vid's
Guys!! I do exist, just a crazy crazy couple of months! Have not touched my beast since before my Birthday in early Nov. I’m hoping in my next uni break (end of Feb) that I will get stuck into her and get her finished.
Was looking through your build diaries on YouTube again this morning Shazz, welcome back... life has it's priorities and Uni must be a big one for you
I’m on break! Hoping to get the schematic sorted this coming week, and hopefully she works!
Have a great break and I hope your wiring is problem-free.
I’m pretty sure I’ve found the schematic I’m going to use! https://guitarelectronics.com/wdu-hhh3t22-02/ Just about to get started on it! If I get a chance this week, I need to still edit some vids!
Looks great Shazz, nestled in a nice case too;)
People!!! She’s done 😍😍😍 beauty shots coming up
That just looks NAUGHTY Shazz!! Fantastic result!
Verrryyyy Nice
She sure does! Thanks Franken, I’m in love... think the husband is jealous hahaQuote:

What a stunner! The black hardware works so well on the purple and the third pickup really makes it look like a beast!
Cheers Von! That’s my thoughts exactly. She wouldn’t look Half as mean if she was only a 2 pup tillQuote:
