Tristans FV-1

[tcjbrown]

Hi again, I've finished shielding the guard and cavities and I've noticed I can't find the tailpiece or jackplate. Is there any way that I could organize replacements?

[keloooe]

Just hit Adam or DB (dingobass@pitbullguitars.com) an email and they will sort you out!

Hey there, I'm up to wiring now and can't find a diagram anywhere for a two conductor flying v.
If anyone knows of one I'd appreciate their help.

You can use the Gibson les Paul wiring schematics....

Hey Gav, the Les Paul schematics are actually different only slightly, master tone vs individual tone.
It's wired up successfully using a modified diagram from seymour duncan. I just used the little bit of guitar wiring knowledge I have to convert it to two conductor.

Body's almost done, only have to finish polishing the binding and then it's on to fretting the neck and making a new nut
(Thanks for the blanks DB). The wiring worked fine, just had to adapt the above Seymour Duncan diagram, which involved ignoring
the two wires from each pickup that were meant to be connected. It turns out that I'm very good at ignoring diagrams, as I managed to wife the
tone back to front

That's a nice looking guitar right there. The flame has come up a treat.

Wow Tristan, that FV-1 is great!

[tcjbrown]

Thanks, it's been a fun process making it, and the support I've received so far has been excellent, especially when I've done something stupid to the guitar. I'll be sad to see it finished, but there's a tl-1 and pb-4 in my work room that need my attention.

Yes Tristan, I feel the same way about my LP, so far this journey has been the best experience of my life, I've had so much help from you guys here on the forums throughout my journey, I've had all of you involved, helping me, giving me advice, and answering the random questions I had :P . This will be a sad but very happy time for me when It's done, sad because I don't have much to do for a while to keep me occupied, but very happy because I achieved something that people my age don't normally have the chance to do!

So to all of you who have been here for my epic adventure, I thank you all so much, even before I started I got help from Adam and the other guys who have been there since January this year! I WILL be staying here at Pit Bull Guitars, and the pestiness won't end for a long time, next project is a pup winder!!!
