Wow! That's fantastic! It'll look even more amazing when the lights hit it during a gig. So cool, yet hot. The dichotomy axe.

Look amazing Trev!
Check your output jack wiring, if you have it the wrong way around it can do this.
Also check for anything that could possibly touch a bare wire or pot terminal

Time to blind the crowd. Looks amazing. Along with your other builds. The wiring configuration looks about right at a glance so check for loose solder, grounding on everything including the bridge, the output jack, etc. My way of doing it is to unsolder everything cos then I get more wiring and soldering practice and I solve the issue, but if you dont have time to kill, probs not the best idea.
looking amazing Trevor, love your axe collection too !
