Trevor, you bloody genius!!
Yes, i got a bit too eager when I pushed the braiding back too much and it was contacting the soldering at the lug.
Looks like crap now but I got “a tap”
Any...
Thanks Trevor
I’ve done some multimeter testing and I get the same reading across the grounds as I do from hot to ground (including at the switch itself).
I genuinely don’t know what that...

Just to follow up on one of your earlier questions, does this look problematic? I stripped a length of wire and ran...
Thanks Trevor
I did smack myself in the head initially and thought “Have I turned the volume/tone controls on?” but unfortunately, setting them all halfway didn’t do it.
Thanks for the...
Hi all
Haven’t been around the forum for a while so hope you are all groovy.
Doing my take on a Memphis 335 and basically anything I could have done wrong, I have. But hopefully I’ve learned a...
Yikes. It's a shitty lesson learned...

Sorry I missed your post Trevor. That picture is gold! This build journey of yours is fascinating for me to watch because it represents my Everest - doing the whole lot basically from scratch.
...
Possibly my experience, too - even though I did my spraying over the course of a warm week (ie min of 20 degrees C), even 7 days of drying after that might not have been enough. Not that I have...
Bravo for all of this - I admire your creativity and adventurousness here.
I know the nervousness of doing staining like this for the first time but you have far exceeded anything I've been able...
That makes a lot of sense.
Well that is definitely a lesson learned because when I went to wet sand my acrylic top coat, the sanded material settled into the grain and then I had to find a way to...
Some really fine work, everyone. Congratulations and good luck.
Oooh - no, I didn't. Does sanding back dig out some of the grain?
+1 for Crimson Guitars service being a little inconsistent.
I asked a pretty straightforward question (I thought) about application of their stain. I think it took a couple of weeks (and a follow...
Not sure if my 2 cents adds much here but I was surprised that I reckon I did at least 4 applications and I still didn't have the grain filler up to the surface of the wood. Given that I must have...
Thanks, McCreed - Yup, the lug was ground (ie bent and soldered to the top).
So, here it is - warts and all...

I think I had some success with the electrics - my Tele makes amplified...
Thank you both, Trevor and McCreed.
I'm somewhat relieved - that will be so much easier to just make a nice dob of solder on the volume pot and just attach the two ground wires to that.
Huzzah....
Add to my list of "d'uh" questions.
I'm in the home stretch of wiring and onto the pickups.
The right hand lug of the volume pot (which is soldered to the top) already has three wires coming...
Really grateful - thank you, McCreed.
In essence, "Follow the wiring diagram, Johnny"
I would love to understand wiring more and would be grateful for any resources to review, in order to get...
I'm sorry to be asking such a fundamental question but I am genuinely confused.
I'm swapping out the PBG three-way selector for what I understand is a slightly better one.
I'm just doing a...
Bravo to the winner. Well done, mrpearson. That looks fantastic.
I must admit, it's a bit sobering to see this as a first build - my first build is nowhere near close to this standard ;)
Well, this has been a labour of love and I'll admit, I've struggled to find the motivation to finish this project (and keep this blog up to date for the one or two of you who might read it).

cheers, JW
Hi all - really sorry for asking a question that I know has been dealt with time and time again, but I've been back through the forum threads and I'm still a little lost.
I have the maple neck and...
I, too, would be interested.
It wouldn't really make sense to have anything unsealed would it, if you're trying to keep moisture out of the wood.
