Liking that headstock shape!
Thanks a lot, I wasn't sure to be able to make it like that, indeed there was ready a very simple plan BOriginally Posted by RocknRolf
Hello folks,
Today I'm filling the wrong predrills, fixing also another guitar...
I wasn't sure about try to burn the back of the guitar so I let faith choose for me and the coin said burn it down....no problem til I did just the back, that was my first idea...than I saw how it worked and I though that also the side with those lovely lines could be good....bad idea....once o started with the side, the central block on the bottom side choose to crack...I'm feeling obviously like a dumb idiot but likely seem just few little silly cracks, in the last 2 days nothing move...the first plan was to use only truoil but I'm thinking that maybe 1 or 2 hands of grain filler could be an idea to think at. Beside this high risk I'm quite happy about how everything is going on. Still a lot to sand, especially the neck that has few chips to make even. Can't wait to start oiling all and to bolt the neck on..

Sounds like you have been having fun with this, burning is, throwing it around, it's called character building.
The pictures don't really show the mistakes, looking good.
Yes, I definitely had so much fun, and I'm still having (I'm adding a switchable lpb-1 boost on board, I love to complicate my life😅
Thanks a lot, I'm happy that the work looks good not only to my eyes.
Some things to consider. Have you tired to fit everything you need housed in that control cavity including the pcb? Keep in mind you'll need an extra pot to adjust the boost on the lpb-1. And where do you plan on housing the 9v in terms of being quick and easy to change? Routing would be needed if your planning on routing a cavity in the back, which is all achievable, but needs to be planned out. I think that switch configuration would work, would be good to see if it added any ground noise while bypassed etc.
I already saw that I can fit the switch, the PCB (is small like a thumb nail) the trimpot and also the 9v...not sure yet about how to fix it, I'm considering atm 3 different solutions and quite surely I'll go for the fourth
I made the choice to do not do an extra room with easy access because I have no tools to make it happen without the risk to make a serious disaster, I'm on my first build so I'm not really confident with many things.
I guess that the circuit will not eat that much of energy so I hope to don't have to change the battery that often
Asking on various DIY pedal effect and wiring FB groups I had some tip about hot to reduce the risk of ground noise and I guess it's not gonna be the issue, I'm more worried about the pop once you active the circuit. I'm trying to figure out the best solution because once I start to solder everything if something will need modification it's gonna be a kind of pain, I have enough room to fit everything inside but not that much to work with confort
Well well well.....seems I'm almost done with my first build.
a quick overview about how it sounds and looks....I added an LPB-1 boost on board...soon better pics and vid
Nice work work mate! Looks and sounds great!
Are those the kit pickups or did you swap?
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
They are the kit's ones.
I'm not happy about setup, my bad I'm not very good at it...tomorrow I'll do it again following a step by step tutorial...the nut needs some adjustment I think..and some frets, the first 3 ish, are not sounding very well, are not buzzing but they sounds like "into a box" if you get what I mean.
