Hi all,
i'm making a few changes and wanted to get some wiring help.
i didn't like the original 3-way switch that came with the kit so i bought an on-on-on DPDT switch similar to the one below.
...
On that Note. here are a few final shots of the Guitar in its finished state. i hope you enjoy.

So I played around the the tailpiece height last night, and lowered it right down. strings are not touching the intonation screws which is great. Action is good, although i'll probably tweak a...
Thanks again Simon, you've been a great help through this build. many great pieces of help and advice. i've been watching a few videos on bridge and tailpiece setup (probably should have started...
Thanks for all the info Simon.
Tail piece is pretty high up (reason being that i didn't want the strings touching the tail piece as it was creating a bit of buzz) and go go a long way down.
but...
Hi all,
so the guitar is finished and i'm really happy with how it all turned out.
i noticed one issue though:
the bridge and the tail piece are not perfectly aligned with each other, leading...
That's actually exactly what I did. Fortunately I didn't damage my working like you did. Bit of a design flaw in my opinion, but nothing too serious.

Thanks Simon. I intend to finish the sanding and then stain it a mid brown. then Tru Oil to keep that natural grain.
so i'll use a wood filler on it.
Thanks for the advice
Hi all,
i got home last night from my trip and had another look at the crack i mentioned. it doesn't look as bad as i remember from the beginning of the week. so either i have fishing brain (it...
Hi Simon,
Sorry, I was literally on my way to the airport and just noticed the crack, didn't have any time to really investigate.
as soon as i'm home tomorrow afternoon i will take photos and...
I've just gotten home and noticed some cracks in the body along the glue lines where the pieces are glued together. I can only imagine that it's from the change in humidity ( it is very dry where I...
Will search now and reach out.
Thanks for this info WeirdBits, its makes a lot of sense, i assumed that changes in humidity and altitude would affect the would but didn't know how much. Will keep my eye on it for a week while i...
Thanks RocknRolf and FrankenWashie!
Right now I'm focussing on sanding and more sanding. I'm not sure of the finish just yet. Torn between a shou sugi ban (burned) finish or just a simple cherry...
I finally received my kit today and started with a very quick mock build just to check the parts list.
the first thing i noticed is that there is a small gap between the neck and the body. It looks...
For years I've wanted an explorer, but being left handed has made it almost an impossible dream. I decided to treat myself to a Pitbull EXM kit to realise that dream.
Looking for tips, advice and...
