Anyway, fret file, headstock decal and extra nuts for the pots turned up today so it was a great leap forward for the "Blacktop"
I couldn't help myself and before the pups got wired in I added another little custom feature for a bit of a laugh stuck down to the bottom of the neck pup cavity, just a little shout-out to PBG even though it's something no-one can see.
Wiring's all finished up after a little mishap earlier on regarding an earth wire but my man Hillsy came to the rescue. I plugged it into an amp and (shock horror) everything does what it's supposed to and is round the right way....SCORE!!
So upon finishing up the wiring, the remaining hardware went back on, Gotoh bridge fits like a champ after reaming it out, and the body is as they say in France... "done"
Now awaiting a neck...
So me ol' mate at Gary at http://gwsdecals.com/ has done a superb job with the white waterslide decal and the whole thing cost me $12 delivered, so apart from waiting for close to 3 weeks it was well worth it. Shot a couple of coats of clear over top, no dramas, it's looking nice.
Oh man glad it worked out cause that is awesome.
I reckon you could probably take a bit of credit for that logo too Hillsy, I was originally just gonna use the gold "Les Paul MODEL" decal, then you started talkin' about silver highlights which got me thinking in a whole other direction.
Way better imho.
That's cool, cause I totally stole your veneer on the headstock idea, preping a bit of ebony for my inlay.
looks awesome Barge. You must be stoked at the results.
Look forward to seeing it completed and a sound demo.
Are your seymour duncan pups coil splittable ?

Yeah they are but I didn't wire them as such, it's all a bit over my head to be honest. I'm just a lowly musician with an out of control guitar building addiction, I know nothing of "coil splitting".Are your seymour duncan pups coil splittable ?
haha no worries Barge, I'm fairly new to it as well but all you need is two push/pull pots and you will be able to split the humbuckers coils to get a bigger range of sounds.
Sure the SD's will punch out some great tones !
