    No, it's an on-off-on 3-way. Sorry, I didn't check the link and it didn't show the wiring diagram for a single P-rails. Here it is. https://docs.google.com/gview?embedd...ail_3mt_1V.pdf

    It's obviously missing the tone control, but that's easy enough to add in.

    Hi Simon Looks like a PRail and a switch will cost almost as much as the original kit. I think i'll finish the build without the electrics and see how it sets up & plays. If it's good I can justify the PRail

    Thanks Andyxlh, a hollow body jazz guitar had been on my list for a few years & I had been scouring Cash Convertors for a second hand one for some time. I'd never dreamed of going down this road and just happened to go to a guitar swap meet where Adam was selling a few kits. I think i'm hooked now & already trying to decide on the next kit, I quite fancy something with lipstick pickups, similar to a Danelectro. Not sure if these are available in kit form.

    That's reasonable. With the fully hollow body and pickup hole, it's a lot easier getting the electrical bits inside than if you had to feed them all through the F-hole.

    getting there

    2 weeks later and about 15 coats of Tru Oil on the body, less on the neck. Rubbed it back with 000 steel wool & polished with gun stock wax. I'm now playing with the setup before I decide about upgrading the pup. Action is too high at the moment, i've obviously got a lot more to learning to do but fingers crossed i've not stuffed up yet!

    Just about complete! Just waiting on some nut files. I'm quite pleased with the result and providing the nut files achieve what i'm hoping for I will probably take Simon's advice & upgrade to a PRail to give the switch something to do!
    There was such a wealth of tips & advice on the forum without which i'm sure I would have stuffed up so thanks to all.
