Hey wokka, yep alive and breathing :)
I'm waiting to hear back from Adam but thinking of doing a triple pup config by modifying the standard 2pup body. Just needing to know if there is space between the 2 pup config for a 3rd humbucker. Or worst case I do a single coil through the middle for something a bit different, even considering a Tele neck pup 😳😳
If I can cut in a 3rd humbucker (or just go with the single coil idea) I'm going to do push/pull pots having vol/tone for each pup and then master vol. I haven't been able to find any 5 way toggle switches so will have to go with the 5 way standard switch which I'll need to cut a slot for.
Going to do a black to purple fade with black back and sides. Maybe a purple neck for something different too. Or purple head and black neck.
So many ideas in my head!
I might start my thread now cause it's going to happen one way or another :)
And dang, 120 pages! That's an effort and a half, well deserved!!
Hey Shazz, check out Fred's building a triple humbucker SG got a custom order. Sounds just like what you want to build

Sounds pretty awesome Shazz
Yeah I can order a 3pup body, but it's a 3-4month wait haha I want to start now 😜Quote:

Shazz you could probably get DB to route the centre humbucker cavity before it's sent to you. Then you have the flame maple veneer and will be less waiting time !
It's not that hard if you have a decent template, router and pattern following router bit.
Thanks Andy, it's gunna take me a fair bit longer to complete then the last build... which took a while. But I'm hoping it will be worth it being the perfectionist I am hahaQuote:

Hey Shaz I can measure the distance between neck and bridge pup, I have a spare SG-1F body that is unfinished. Pretty sure it will fit but it's tight. The pup rings almost touch each other haha
If I remember I will post tonight on this thread and put 3 pup rings over the body and photograph it
