SorrY I meant neck PU is a lot stronger now :) Getting there.....process of elimination I guess

Okie dokie - all checked, hum reduced and now i get the faintest sound from bridge PU when selected but volume on Amp has to be turned up to 3/4.

Bridge PU is much stronger now, noise hum changes...

ok checked ground wires, earth wire to bridge remarkably different. checked connections etc now when I tap the bridge PU i get the echo tap thru the amp which I didnt get before. BUt still no sound...

Yes there is. There is an earth wire on all pots and then off to bridge saddle (which Im guessing will be a poor connection) and then off to the jack.

Let me re-check all these points and in...

Thankyou so much. I was actually thinking it would be a very poor contact and that it should be wrapped a round a few times. I will test this first and make a good contact before a rewire :)

Excuse poor wiring skills....hence why Im thinking of redoing my mates handywork.

There is an earth wire that goes to bridge saddles and off to jack.

the two yellow wires are the...

Thanks for this. I'll actually try rewiring and see if it makes a difference.

Cheers for this. I'll actually re wire it and see if it is an issue. Thanks.

WOW thanks guys. I'll try and answer all the questions.

I resoldered a few joints and I now have a very slight hint of sound from the bridge PU but the G,B,E strings, nothing. and I mean you have...

OK, re did wiring, sorted some of the noise but still nothing from the bridge pickup. Even when you tap on it nothing. When selected alone on the three way switch, zilch noise.

Short of the PU is...

Full length shot. I'm going in tonight to check this wiring. Stay tuned. Wish me luck :)

I'll have to recheck the wiring my friend has done as I think the issue will be the bridge pickup not being earthed correctly. The diagram has the PU's earthed separately and I think the two were...

Thanks, I was concerned too, once I built it and played it a l;ittle last night (despite the noise) they didn't get in the way. But I do agree, if they were set further back that would have been...

oh dumb question coming up.

Diagram said one P90 should have a yellow wire, the other a red wire. Both P90's had a yellow wire. It's just that I lwatched a video and the two pickups indeed came...

Finally finished. Made some changes even added a personal touch from Macau Casino. Anyway, wired it up with the help of a friend. Heaps of noise and the bridge, P90, nothing. So back to the drawing...

I'll leave the side natural as will be the neck. Yes the head stock has a step down. Once done and oiled I'll do some nicer photos. Next step wiring etc etc etc ...must admit, sure tests the...

New colour on the front. Will show completed one soon.

Hi, this is the front, the darker blue will be lightened after the next sanding. I went too dark. Matching headstock.10006

Yes the photos are back to front. The back has since been restained. :) 9963

This is the back, sanded down before the final coat. Was a tad experimental but decided a darker back will work better (hide the 'first timer mistakes) :)

Hi Adam, thanks for that.

Once the body is stained I'll do the build and by that stage I will be able to see string height etc and then can adjust the neck height if needed PS have a guitar...

Just an update on the guitar, given the back its initial dark blue stain. Its a lot more royal blue on the back than the photo shows. The sides will be left natural and the front will be a stunning...

Thanks guys, really appreciate you taking the time to help. I love the kit. Wanted a strat shape but its squared edges, binding, ill modify the head stock as it looks fenderish and also quite...

Just thought I'd attach a full view of the entire guitar as the neck angle looks fine once i make the neck joint fit and the other photo, which I didn't notice there is a hole at the...

Hi again, here are the pics. This will show the tail piece and tremolo (I'm assuming it goes this way. Flip it and the tremolo sits at the top of the strings. Also you can see how sweet...
