Do you mean the original Gibson 335? The centre blocks in the original was maple. They had two routes near the neck pocket and near the bridge for wiring. I had a 335 Fatneck Dot reissue at one...
The decal definitely looks more substantial than a normal slide decal, got some pearl.
Nice work on the finish. Looks factory. I like your decals too. Is that a backpaint reverse?
Here's a good way to get height adjustment in any P90.

Bear in mind DCr is also a matter of winding wire gauge. Tele neck pickups measure high DCr compared to equivalent bridge pickups despite a small winding pack and less winds due to 43awg. Also not...
It's funny - the basswood is funny old mismatched bits but it does flow. Even if it's 5 bits.
My bandemate's got one. He is not that much of a tweaker but downloaded the newer firmware and the models are much better. It's not for me but he's been able to dial.some good modulation patches.
You buy a body and neck just to use up spare parts from other kits.

Maple also being a closed-grain wood doesn't need much sanding. If you use water to stain, my experience is between each coat, just use 0000 steel wool to knock down the grain. When I did my...
F&T are okay caps - there's nothing wrong with Vishay. Sprague the brandname is owned by Vishay - if you cut the new big blue Spragues that llook good for restos apart, you find a small Vishay cap...
I'm pretty sure they fit in a Gibson 335 case so similar dimensions.
It weighed 45kg as a combo. They came on casters.
If it's old check out the filter capacitors - if they're leaking goop it's imperative to change them. If one lets go they're messy and the...
Depends on the generation. The 83 generation of PCB is a double layer board has the glass board in two layers around the copper trace. It's actually very durable, hanging off the pots is a weak...
The thing I forgot to mention re: soldering is you are not sticking things together with hot solder. That won't work. You are heating both bits so the solder flows onto them - as it solidifies, it...
A tip is to use something to hold one part. Those little modellers rigs Jaycar and electronic stores sell with alligator clips at the end of arms. I sit my pots bakwards in the guitar body to solder...
Okay - continuity is just checking your bit of wire or component is connected. Put your probes on the ends of a bit of wire - that's continuity. Normally you might measure between solder joins.

Perfect pitch is when you chuck the piano accordion in the dumpster and it smashes the banjo....
$20 Aldi meter? Actually good value for money, will do everything you need
Here's a good guitar specific one. You only need to measure ohms - also handy for working out speaker impedance.

Nice job. I was debating glueing in the neck. Think I might stick to bolts seeing as it's got them.

I have a Dingotone finish on my SG Jnr. After a month it's smooth and pretty hard. I may put a coat of poly on. But it doesn't seem to be wearing. Feels pretty much like a normal satin finish.

Here's my No 2 build. Roger Rossmeisl was poached from Rickenbacker by Fender to create hollow and semi-hollow guitars like Coronado, Thinline and Starcaster. This kit was a second due a a binding...
