Anyone familiar with Carson Electric Guitars?

Check if you can get signal from the PUP's (after connecting things of course) and then start from there. If the PUPS are duds then it becomes a re-finishing exercise for the experience. I would think very carefully before plonking any hard earned on those Lace units, like you say it would be massive overkill. I dare say there's be some second hand or reasonable quality spares floating around the forum that would set you back far less.

If you are going to ding fill then you may be better off stripping all the way back to see what you are working with. You might get a nice surprise like the re-finished Ply Strat [URL="http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=6189&highlight=Plywood+strat"], or it could be a dog, you just never know.

You might be onto something there Washie, I didn't really look at the timber inside. That might look alright too.
I'll see what I can come up with in regards to signal. Does anyone have a superstrat wiring diagram available?
Also, can anyone tell me what the little 2-way switch would be for? Would that be a phase switch possibly?
