Are these things ever finished? I’m going to give the neck another sand and even thinking if some sign writing on the back.

It’s weird. It feels small. I’ve been playing my acoustic loads recently (Taylor 12 feet) so I’m used to a wide neck.... this feels teeny.
But yeah the body is a beast. It’s lovely though

Ok so I strung it up and.... it works. It feels great. I need to sand the sides of the neck a little as the clearcoat difference has made a little tiny ridge. It’s not a huge thing but.
My amp is...
Scratch plate or no scratch plate?? I think not

Ok so I got everything sorted and tonight I shall string up and assess the setup situation. For now I can tuck it up. It’s looking purdy still.

I guess I need to get some strings on it now and have a look. Not dressed the frets but I’d rather get this sorted and then go back and do that.
Thanks.
Getting there

Buggering bloody bridge pin buggers!!!
Ok I redrilled the holes. Pins I’m apart from one is not sitting flush still on the top side. I think this may be causing my issue a little. But it’s...

Ok so the bridge pins are the same size as stock 12mm. Great, I thought. They will go straight in. Left them in the freezer and started tapping one in. It’s tight!!! Like waaaaaaay tight. The hole -...
Nice idea. I do have something to measure them with so I’ll check. Thanks

I need to install my bridge pins. A test fit tells me they are TIGHT!!! Bit nervous about just banging them in (gently of course) do I need to widen the holes at all?? I’m using different pins that...

Sorted the pickup. It wasn’t wired properly to be a humbucker. Only a single coil hence the drop in power. One quick solder later. Bingo. It all works.
Three attempts to get thebwiring in. Phew....
That’s actually the bridge pot where everything in the entire universe is earthed!!!!
It’s not pretty but the issue doesn’t lie with that pot I don’t think.
The pot on the right is the neck...
Well it’s not the toggle switch as I swapped the neck and bridge connections around and it still only the bridge pickup that works.
Please please please don’t be a bust pick up :(
I’ll change...

Back to the wiring now and I got problems. Neck pick up dead. Bridge fine and dandy.
Checked and double checked...
