Thanks! If I can build a guitar, anyone with a few tools and some common sense can. Good luck!
YAY! A Chapette!
The testosterone levels around here were getting a little too high!, glad to have another Lady on the forum, Jmeek!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

Grammar matters. :P
Just a little post-script on the Yellow Peril. This week I did a bit of upgrade work, in part as preparation for work on the Red Menace, but also because I wanted to improve it. So, I:
- changed the tone cap for a Sprague Orange Drop - my god, you can really tell the difference! So warm and clear.
- tightened up the output socket - it was too loose, jacks were almost falling straight out of it.
- turned the truss rod a little to take the last of the fret buzz out of it. After a few months settling in, I figured this wasn't going to go away on its own. So, now it's nice and clean.
- copper foil shielded all the cavities. This was fun, requiring me to completely remove hardware from the body, and add a ground wire to the bridge cavity when I put it back together. And when I plugged it I had to check that it really was on. Nice.
Apologies, I didn't think to take any pictures, but then, when it was all reconstructed there were no cosmetic changes anyway.
As rewarding as it was to have the Yellow Peril take out a beauty contest, I think it's more important to get a musical instrument sounding great. I think I've actually got there now, so feeling pretty good about it. And I've also managed to execute a couple of techniques without the first time being on someone else's guitar!
Glenn I like what you done with the headstock on this one, it is a little slimmer than I done on mine. I think I might adjust mine so not quite as fat....
