Ash Les Paul <> ALP - 1 (?)

Well Nick, here it is.

First pic <> blue switch is the on<>on<>on, which controls the "3 sound". Series (down) Parallel (up) Single Coil (middle={inside coil, bottom pup})
Middle pic <> red switch (on 0ff on), my tone control, up is a .022uf cap. down a .047 cap, middle no cap.
Last pic <> what a mess, red switch (on on) is my "black ice, the twisted, soldered wires come from the capacitor to earth, don't really like it too much, but it's different for sure. (not too bad with volume and a bit of drive though).

For me to hear the variance in tone I need to turn my tone control way down (like "0"), but I rarely use tone anyway. Just a bit of grunt.

Rick.

Ps hope the pics' come out in that order.

Holy Santa Claus Shit!! That makes me dizzy just lookin' at it, 10/10 for that wiring job bro.

Not that bad mate. Nice work fitting it in the bloody cavity. That's always the hardest part.

[wokkaboy]

glad it was you doing the soldering Rick, I would have given up way before getting it working !
Well done to fit that much in the cavity.
How's the noise when idle with no copper shielding ?

Ha! Guys, I would have liked to make it neat, didn't want to cut the pup wires (just in case) then to get the soldering iron in the leads needed to be long so they could be "moved", but it was a little difficult. I used some heat shrink to cover some of the earth wires and where I joined the hot.

Well Wokka, no noise, that is since I have "cleaned" it up (so to speak), it wasn't very noisy even before. When I touched the tone switch in the bypass posse it gave a little static but nothing to wright home about.

May be I'll never undo the four screws again, hopefully.

Until the mod bug bites again

Don't be scared of cutting wires shorter - you can always splice them longer easily and neatly. Heat shrink is a wonderful thing

Hey bargeloobs
Just saw your "note"]


"You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten...
You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up,
you're on ten on your guitar...
Where can you go from there?.... Where?"



Indeed what is after 10<><><><><><><> oh my Fender Blues junior goes to 12 on both master and volume.

Spinal Tap, eat your heart out.

Rick.

Well, finally finished it. AaaGgg, I don't like the "Black Ice" so that switch will become an on / off for the middle pup, one day.

Here is a few pics'.
Wont be building another for a while so might do some modifications on another guitar that, I feel needs some work.
