Hey Simon!
I'm having trouble following any of the wiring diagrams I've been looking at, because none of them line up with the prewired pot/switch harness in front of me. I have two A500K pots...
Simon to the bloody rescue again.
Cheers, mate!!! I'll look into it.
Hey folks, long time no see.
Been really occupied with all sorts of things but I've finally gotten to the final stage of the build but I've got 2 questions...
1, does anyone have the...
Thanks Simon. Like I mentioned in the edit, it looks like forward is the way to go so I'd agree with you :D I'd prefer not to fill and drill and I'm quite happy with the results of the angelus dye....
Hey mate, thank you so much for the input! I've literally just finished with the angelus leather dye and I must say I'm quite impressed by it. I used the applicator but that was way too botchy so I...
Cheers mate. That actually makes a lot of sense. With my setup, unfortunately, it looks like I won't have much of an option! Any further back than where it sits in the picture and I'll be hitting the...
Right guys,
So I understand the principal of scale length and bridge placement but can somoene please explain how far back from the bridge to be installing the bigsby tremolo? I've watched a...
i'm trying to sand it back to shape as much as possible and it's working out quite well! :D

It's not perfect but you know what? It's mine! :D
Thanks for the hot tips guys. Put on another thin coat of timbermate on the neck post cut and I'm gonna sand and throw on...
Got it! Thanks for that, mate.
Ahh, I see.
I've sent Adam an email already so we'll see what he says. I'm not confident in fixing it myself but if it's not going to cause me any issues functionally then it should be right. All...
Guys,
I think there may be an issue with my headstock...please advise.
I think the tuner holes are not aligned to the headstock. Visually it's very obviously off-center and I just wanted to...
Makes sense... I'll see how I go with just the Angelus alone first and if it's not deep enough, I'll grab some black spirit-based dye.
SInce I've got the Feat Watson already though, I'll be using...
You know what, you're right. I will give it a shot. Any minor bumps or errors should only serve to enahnce this guitar's character. It is hand made after all! :D I'll get my hands on one of those and...
Gotcahaaaaa! So if I was going for something darker with what I've got at the moment, should I do a black dye, sand back then hit it with the red? Or would that not work either. :/
Gotcha. I've actually gone ahead and purchased a red Angelus dye with a black Feast Watson dye for the headstock. I want to cut the Gibson headstock but I don't have the facilities so I figured I'll...
Cheers for that man! Makes sense and yes, in fact, I am using timbermate! Do you have an recs in terms of leather dye? Any tips for application or would you simply apply it in the same fashion as the...
It's only logical.
Good call! Haha! Cheers :p
Thanks for all the feedback guys! Look what arrived in the mail today like clockwork for the birthday boy! Now the question is, which one do I start with? :D

Hey mate!
Thanks for all that info. I had to read that about 4 times before it made sense to me only because I'm so new to the terminology! Like I mentioned to McCreed, I think I'll get a better...
Thanks mate! I thnk I'll get a better Idea of what I'm dealing with when the kit actually arrives. Honestly I thought the wiring bit was going to give me the most headache but I stand corrected....
Hey mate,
I got the AGM-3F Mahogany!
Oh! I thought the colourtone dye was ALREADY diluted. You're saying you diluted it further? I liked what Dan_B did though, threw in some crimson red watercolour in his cherry-red colour tone and...
How'd you up the concentration on those Colortone water-based dyes exactly? Do you mean you just put on multiple coats? Total noob here haha!
