    Finally finished. Made some changes even added a personal touch from Macau Casino. Anyway, wired it up with the help of a friend. Heaps of noise and the bridge, P90, nothing. So back to the drawing board I guess. Wired it up as per diagram but the p90 has nothing and overall the output is very low but that is insignificant compared to the general noise. I'd ask for any advice on what may be the likely issue but I guess you will all say, recheck all the wiring

    Was thinking whether or not to line the cavities with foil....Click image for larger version.

    Looking great Stephen. I always liked the idea of these guitars, but the pot placement is all wrong. If they had been behind the switch I reckon I would have bought one of these for my first kit. Love what you've done with it though. great colour and the poker chip is a cool addition.

    Thanks, I was concerned too, once I built it and played it a l;ittle last night (despite the noise) they didn't get in the way. But I do agree, if they were set further back that would have been perfect.
