There is a hot wire to the jack, but it is hard to see the white against the silver.
My effect circuit does require power, and I have that under control. I'm mounting a battery pack to the cavity...

Hey. I'm trying an ambitious project, but am having issues before the complex stuff comes in. Plan is to have an onboard distortion effect pcb wired into 3 out of 4 knobs on SG style guitar. Leftover...
Hey! I'm busy wiring a guitar and I'm placing a distortion effect board in the control cavity. It's an SG style kit, with holes for 4 knobs. My plan (and what i've wired so far) is 2x Volume (each...
Thanks for the reply and information McCreed. As I'm doing a whole fretboard job, I think i'll have a look at new/different crowning files.
Any recommendations?
I levelled the frets on a strat neck but, while seating well enough, it required a lot of levelling. This lead to some frets being very flat, too flat for my crowning file. It starts to file the wood...
I'm working on a neck from an AG-1 kit and am having some issues with the nut. More specifically, the wood where the nut goes. If I place it flat against the maple, there's a gap between the nut and...
My plan was just a hydrating oil finish straight onto the wood but I may have to do it differently...
I do have a fret saw so I'm able to recut them if they get filled/too shallow.
I'll keep...
Thanks both of you for all the information.
It seems I did it all correct (atleast matching Sonic's method) except the neck relief. I do have a straight edge so i'll bring that out and re do it...
That's true, i had a similar issue on another build. I solved it by gently filing the top end of the screws. Not completely solved, but a lot better than before
I'll give it a fit sometime to see whether the ball ends will cause issues. If they do, I think I'll have to do string through...
I'll keep an eye on your build diary dozy, but I don't think I'll...
How was drilling through? Was it pretty straightforward?
I'm finishing a quilted maple veneer with thinned boiled linseed oil (2 coats in so far) with some sanding in between layers. So far, it's looking good. Except when it's not.
There seems to be...
I bought a kit on sale with a damaged ebony fretboard- some poorly filled cracks and obvious super glue, nothing I haven't faced before. To make things easier, I removed the frets (I'll install...
I've just levelled some frets and thought that giving the neck a slight backwards bow/convex curve would mean that when the strings are on and tension pulls the neck, it all levels out nicely.

I'm building an AIB-1Q kit and am confused about the bridge. It's a hardtail with what seems to be holes for string through or top load.

I have a body with a gorgeous quilted veneer with binding around the edge. When i was preparing the body for finishing (some coats of thinned BLO then Tru-oil on top) I made an effort to remover any...
This one is an AG-1, advertised as a maple neck. When in front of me, it does look much lighter than what is shown in the pictures.
You do make a good point about the open grain though, none of...
Hey McCreed, how should I be using this stuff? I gave it a go with a rag, just wet, not soaking, and it hasn't moved anything. Should I be soaking it? Do I need to do something immediately after?
Cool, just bought some. Will try it this coming week
Yeah that makes sense, that way it matches the curve. I usually lower each string until it starts to buzz, then I raise it slightly.
Cool, I'll test the clear I have first, if it doesn't work then I'll get a can of that then. That's also the spray recommended by the place I ordered it from.
While sanding and then handling the freshly sanded rosewood fretboard, some of the dark sawdust has found it's way into the grain of the maple. How can I clean this out? Just keep sanding it?

Looks good, it seems you haven't had a bad reaction from the oil and acrylic, that's a good sign. That's my main worry, I put it on and then it goes bad...
Thanks for the info, yes I am using the inkjet variant.
I'll have a look around and see what I can find, I'm just worried about putting an oil finish over an acrylic spray. I suppose I could do a...
McCreed I was referring to how this bridge, TOM style, has a fixed radius while the other bridges I've worked with don't have that (each string/pair of strings is adjustable up and down, the default...
