Looking good Zandit. Nice theme to this axe and love the logo

Thanks mate!
I actually came up with an idea for using this logo for future builds that varies slightly for each one. The downward stroke in the "Q" can be changed with each one. Instead of the single stoke, the next one will have 2 stokes, then 3 etc, maybe even roman numerals could work too.....More planning needed!

I've been doing some research on wiring up the controls and pick-ups, and came across this LP DIY build that does things very different from the videos Adam has on his website.

The Capacitors are connected differently, and the Tone pots are earthed the same as the Volume pots by bending the last contact against the pot and soldering it together.
Is one of these incorrect, or are there multiple ways of wiring these systems up?

Multiple ways, replied in your other thread.

For what it is worth from a srictly marketing point of view keep the core logo the same but add roman numerals alongside the head stock. The core logo should stay the same, think any logo you see and they all stay the same buy might have sub text, ie Telecaster/Stratocaster. Car Brands Its a Toyoto but the model is announced for example. If you and another stroke to the core logo it implies its a different company/owner not a different model....Just thoughts.

Try it out on paper and I think you will see what I am talking about,.

I agree to a point, but even Toyota, Coca-Cola, Holden have all changed/evolved their logos over the years. I'll post a photo today of the idea I came up with to show you. It's more a variation on a theme, and since the next build likely be a different style of guitar, it should reflect that change too imo.
Unfortunately, I really like the new logo better than the one I have now, but it's too late now.
It's like having an argument with someone, then thinking of all the really good things you could have said after the fact!!

Here you go Badger, a preview of my new design.


There's a couple of options with the legs through the Q, but I think this is a classier design over what I had before.

nice logo Zandit, in the end it's your idea and guitar, do what makes you happy

Looks good, you will know when you get it the way you want it, try giving yourself a break from it, and I reackon it will just come to you.

I liked this one best of all. It had a bit of a medieval look about it.

That's what I tried doing initially, but because the socket slipped that I was using as a template, I had to adjust it on the fly.
I'll be starting the final coat on the front today, so it's staying as it is now!
