Tindrrel's JR-1M

[Tindrrel]

They're both audio taper. I know there's lots of discussion on which is best, log or linear, but I don't mind both vol and tone being log.

I was planning on setting the larger lower ring knob as volume and the top knob as tone.

With the forward pot for neck, rear for bridge and the 3-way switch up for neck and down for bridge.

As close to a standard layout using 2 controls for 4.

Sounds like you're all sorted and ready to go then.

Still going on this. Postponed the electronics build when a test stringing buzzed a bit more than I think it should.

Tapping them with a fret hammer didn't change them much if at all. The neck measures as straight - least as far as I can tell from the edges. Anyone know where I can get a slotted straight edge? Have a vague memory someone on here was making perspex ones?

Radius gauges arrived and I think the fretboard is a 12. So now I also need to get a size 10 radius sanding block to dress the frets.

Probably going to renew work on the electronics soon.

(With luck will finish before two years from start.)

(edit: Thought it might have been 10", but now I think it's 12")

WOW this build has been going on longer than I've been a member of this forum. I really hope to see it finished!

Pablopepper makes them and is excellent to deal with

I've got one and I use it ALL the time! (thanks Pabs)

Update on this build.

Finally installed the electronics. Reasonably happy.

Tweaking the setup. Need to turn the saddles around.
