The centre section certainly looks similar to the mahogany used on my GSJ-1 and GSM-1. The two outer wings less so. But if it's basswood, then it's basswood No grain filling required.
Thank you Simon for the confirmation!
i also had a look to Wazzkelly Tru-Oil past work as proposed by colin2121 also wandered around the forum and find that all necessary info and more seem available here, giving me confidence to achieve the axe i dreamed of for so long!
Hi !
Happy father's day to those concerns
As it is very humid actually in Montreal (and i dont have climatiser at home) i will need to wait a bit to hit the board with oil until i can have a few days aligned with workable humidity.
Might as well share some of my thoughts in regards of the hardware i selected and also ask some advices on the way!
I already received a "Premium wiring kit for SG" including CTS pots and switchcraft toggle switch, extra single coil hookup & shielded pushback wires. Also received all my Tulip buttons to replace the button that will arrive on the Grover tuners 305 series i ordered.
Now waiting for a second switchcraft toggle switch, 4 top hat bell reflector knobs, and 2 black switch knobs.
First question;
Anyone have a wiring diagram for using only 2 switches ?
i would like to have the middle switch (close to the bridges) to select the neck and the bottom switch (close to the 6 string neck) to select pickups. from what i read aroud the web, it seem Gibson doubleneck are wired this way, anyway this is how i would like it to work.
Second questions;
What pickup would you recommand?
i shot for the classic tone of course.....i read that Seymour Duncan 59' would do the job in the 4 pu slots, or a pair of Jazz on the 12 string and 59's on the 6 strings. I read that Alnico 5 is what i should look for. Would be happy to get your input.
Thankx in advance & looking forward to read you
