    So far my experience is that the most of the kit hardware is good, apart from the screws and the machine heads. They are the real weakest link. That is one of the reasons Adam now offers the upgrade options for the machine heads.

    GTH-1

    Completed:

    Finally got a chance to get back to this build.
    Wiring question: Pretty much finished, but I've messed up the wiring somehow.

    Here's the problem: When I set the switch and tap the bridge pickup I get nothing; when I flick the switch and tap the neck pickup it's the same—nothing. But when I set the switch in the middle, I get a signal from both pickups when I tap them in turn.

    The middle knob seems broken and spins without stopping when turned—maybe I should see Pitbull about that—but is this connected with the lack of signal problem..?
