Ah! I just saw someone else's pickups installed differently on Instagram. Good to know that these particular ones don't have that going on right now. There's no coil splitting here, but if I change...

She. Is. Finished.
(I think I may have put in the bridge humbucker upside down...I may switch that around...or I may just swap out the humbuckers before I get around to even doing that.

Can anybody give me a good solid reason to not screw these tuner heads in slightly askew?

So....Basically, because both the switch, and the tone knob are grounded into the volume knob, and the volume knob is grounded into the jack everything is grounded, except for the humbuckers, of...

Can somebody please help me make sense of this?!
after all my fretting about the electronics, it turns out everything came presoldered (as far as the pots, the switch and the jack) I know that I'm...

DAMN!! 20 coats?!? Well..now I know where I went wrong. geeeezzzz! I think next time I do this, I'll get one of those "thick coat" polys. Somehow it worked out really well for the top...but the...

And here's the neck setting on the little table rig that I had to build so my clamps would work for this project.

apparently doing a matte back just really wanted to give me a serious issue. I kept sanding right through 5+ layers of poly and the black stain. I finally got it to a decent place, where I'm not...

how did you go about drilling such an animal? as far as the angling to be able to do that from the bridge to the bridge pickup?? and would it be something I needed to do if I grounded the copper...

Not "Black art" you say. :eek:
I know SOME of the words in all of what you've said. But not many of them. :D yikes!

decided to make a fret leveler.
First I leveled off an aluminum level by sanding it down until I wore off all the sharpie from the entire surface,
then double sided duct tape for the win to attatch...

newly shaped contour

Thanks! I don't have any of those tools....so, I marked out the curvature that I needed to follow from the body and kindof eyeballed it (and put it into the body and wrapped my fingers around it to...

I don't mind refinishing it, since it's only stained at this point. This contour as is, is driving me nuts, though! How did you go about doing yours? it looks fantastic!
The saddles (that are in...

here's a picture of the 12th fret with a label...37791

And as a follow up question....can anybody give me any reason to NOT contour this into the body?

This is my first build...ever, and I just want to make sure that I'm not overthinking (or underthinking) this. From everything that I'm seeing from other people, apparently the scale length is...

and then I realized....I hate how this looks....so...I guess I really need to figure out how this neck install is supposed to work so I can contour this appropriately. Cuz I don't see how I'm...

Front Staining

basic question here, but, again...total newb! your GS-2Q...glue in neck?? If so...did you just use normal wood glue to set it?

it doesn't look like it. Honestly...the electrical is giving me the most anxiety. I've never done anything like this.
My finish is going to be a 3 way burst from bright green, to blue, to purple,...

Any advice for a total newb?!?
