I have a "log" guitar that I can take on holidays, pack in anywhere and because it's a cheap neck attached to a block of pine, I'm not too precious about it. Not as fancy as Les Paul's log, it is a great way to test the pickups before putting them in the guitar.

I was looking at the wiring diagram that came with the darkstars Attachment 12238
They do what I was going to and switch both centre taps to ground, which I thought would create phase issues until I tested which wires went to where by wiring up a single coil and tapping the poles with a screwdriver. It turns out that these darkstar sets have the black wire on the north coil of the neck and the south coil on the bridge.
Love the log Andrew! You might start a trend here man - I know I'm thinking of building one ASAP :).
cheers,
Gav.
Log! It's better than bad, it's good!

Trust me, its bad. The balance is all wrong, there's nowhere to rest your right hand and its almost impossible to play sitting down. As a plus, it packs in the car very easily and the fretboard is close enough to my home guitar to keep my fingers nimble on longer trips.
Ha ha nice 1 Andrew. Yeah I was looking at the pic and saw the strap and thought....there must be another reason for that than playing live?Quote:

the Tele will be fast with the Italian race stripe :D
I'm making it for a mates 40th birthday present. I used to play in a band with him, and the colours, and styles all point to his style. The Italian race stripes are a nod to his Ducatti.
