Thanks Simon and BD, I actually surprised myself! ;)
After a think about it I bit the bullet and went for it Simon. I said to myself, this could be a $75 lesson if I stuff it up.
First up I took the screws out of the base plate. That gave me a bit...
Kit just arrived Simon. Checked the pickups and they both have the same polarity.
As you mentioned previously, it's hard to get in there to do any modifications. Photo attached.
I will keep you posted Simon.. ;)
Thanks again Simon. You are fountain of knowledge!
Yes, that's correct. It's the hum cancelling is what I'm after when the selector switch is in the middle position.
I just checked again with...
Hi guys,
Another question about pickups, this time it's polarity.
For this Tele kit I ordered the Tonerider TRT 2B Hot Classic (bridge) and a for the neck a Tonerider 'Hot 90' Neck P90. I have...
Another thing I just thought of, would the Tonerider TRT 2B Hot Classic and Tonerider HOT 90N for the neck be compatible for noise cancelling in the middle position of a 3 way switch?
More...
Would the 2nd idea be switchable Simon?
Thanks for the info Simon. You are right about trying to seperate the earth wire from the braided wire. I just saw a side view of the P 90 online. I don't want to stuff up a good pick up.
I'll look...
Hi guys,
I would like to put a 4 way switch in a Tele. The guitar will have a Tonerider P90 for the neck and a Tonerider single coil for the bridge. I started reading up online and they are...
I'm waiting for a reply too but realised it's a public holiday today everywhere but here in Qld.
4 stars now..:cool:
The 2 guys sulking about their kits would be the type that you couldn't please no matter what you did. We had a retail business for nearly 20 years I know these sort of guys only to well.

I have heard about this happening and was warned against using the final coat because of this. I would wipe as much as you can off the guitar then give it a light sand. Try letting it dry again and...
Yes, although a different TL kit to yours my bridge was out and needed moving 3mm towards where the control plate goes. The original holes were covered by the bridge. I glued tooth picks in the old...
You boys are a lot more organised then I was on the same build.. ;) Great diary and photos too.
I used about 1/4 - 1/3 bottle on the neck joint. I wiped off a fair bit after though.
Shame about...
I bought a set at Bunnings and gave them a go. They will cut but it is very slow going and you need to push the tip cleaner down over the nut with your finger. They will do to get you out of trouble...
Thank you again for the great info McCreed!
That's good info thanks McCreed. Would you have a link to air brush gun that you would think would work for guitars? Thanks again.
As I mentioned before in another post, the kit I received needed a 3mm shim in the neck pocket as well. I ordered a Wilkinson bridge for my kit and when I assembled it before paint the saddles were...
After you get the intonation right. Double check the string alignment by putting in the 2 E string tuning heads and running a couple of strings to the bridge. As I said, mine was out around 4mm....
I have the same kit and started on it a few days ago.
Yes, I trimmed some of the pick up route out with my Dremel.
I fitted the neck so it was inline with the neck pocket after I rounded the...
Lol.!! They really make you wonder!
Funny you should mention that, I did see guys talking about the Classic Vibe guitars coming out with Toneriders.
Thanks for the tip re: shielding. This is the...
I will give it a go McCreed, It's not a lot of money if I'm not happy with it.
I went with these pick ups. The guitar will be mainly used for the young blokes recording....
