Sorry to keep you up .. Good news is that it all works - hate for you to find out after you've put in all the hard work.

Nice and clean Hillsy, looks great, what are the specs on those caps? I haven't quite decided if I'm going vintage or modern with my wiring yet, I've read JB humbukers used in conjunction with 500k pots can be quite bright anyway so I'm tending towards a modern configuration at this stage...idk.

Those are .022uf vitamin Q's, Only used them cause I already had them and they fit the theme, There wasn't much difference between these and orange drops in my LP, it has burst bucker pros which were really bright, treble was like ice picks, re-did the wiring just like this and it smoothed it right out.

You may just have to experiment to find what works for you, but quality pots and caps are a great start.

Cheers man, It's great to have people checking up along the way and why I post so many pics

Barge - check out the PitBull gear - Ads has done a great deal on them... Small range at the moment while Adam works out what people need. That said, a cap delivered for around $4 is pretty hot!

Bugger I just went and bought some a couple of hours ago, I wasn't aware you could even get them through here, I guess I'll know for next time.
Cheers for the heads up!

Five coats Amber inner, Mahogany outer, Black Magic Woman Next. Have been trying to blend away the f hole binding, I like the look without it.

Have been working on the stairway to heaven here all night, as level as I can get it

looking awesome Hillsy, nice burst. So are you going to keep the F hole binding coloured ? Will look good either way white (cleaned) or coloured.
Did you tape off the body edge binding or scrape off the paint ? Looking nice and clean !
