Well, that was a total waste of $325. The GRSF1 is now a pile of splinters in the rubbish bin. Never again. Over and out.
Update on my darling Missy. I had to have her put to sleep three weeks ago. She couldn’t be a little dog anymore as her arthritis spread everywhere and the steroids just made grossly overweight and...
Ok. I’m back. I wander past everyday, look at it and think, “will I cut an access hole in the back so I can do all the wiring?”. I’ve decided, yep, it’s the only way to complete the guitar without...
Wow. Thanks guys. Much food for thought. Some soldering practice is nigh. ;)
Right. Thanks Simon. I’ll watch the instructional video again - a few more times.
Thanks for the tips Dacious. I’ve been struggling for years to solder. I just can’t hold the wire and the solder and the iron all at once. It does my damn head in - not to mention burning my fingers...
This my multimeter.

Ok, having burnt 4 fingers of my left hand, the wiring is now soldered. A mess but it it what it is.
I know zero about electronics. Treat me as a 10 year old farmers boy....
Hey geeks, I bought a multimeter to test stuff. I have no idea how to use it. I want to test a box of used potentiometers, Caps, switches etc to see if they work properly. Could someone draw some...
More like grandad...:D
Yes thanks Scott. Got it. Now to solder without welding myself to a capacitor and rendering myself incapacitated.

I can’t see any numbers but I’m blind as a bat so maybe they’re there. Anyway, I have a supply of .22 and .47 Orange caps so I’ll use one or t’ other of them instead. Thanx for the advice.
Cheers...
Yo Cliff. Been fiddling around in my tiny 3x3 m shed (it’s actually my bedroom but I live in my living room now). The project has been hanging on the wall for 6 months or so, so time to get...
I’m baaack.

Onto the wiring after a few months away from it all.
Looking at the alternative wiring diagram, it shows a green Cap at the master tone Pot. My package came with 2 tiny brown...

Neck glued in.
Primed 2 coats and sanded
hmmm. For some reason my pics no longer upload. ??
Thanks for the copper tape tip, Simon. I was wondering if it would be necessary. Will be checking out the Pure tone Jacks.

Hey all, this is my first Kit Build, also my first hollow body, first archtop etc. I've built a few solid bodys from scratch with an eye to one day attempting a hollow body based on this, which I'll...
I'm a BIG fan of Duesenberg Guitars, particularly this model 33888. However, I doubt a kit could be done. I built a solid body from scratch using insanely expensive genuine Duesenberg hardware and...
Hi all. I'm new here but not a beginner. I've been making solid bodies for a few years and decided it was time to try my hand at an arch top after stumbling across a battered old 1959 Maton Premier...
