Cheers wokkaboy.

Yes mate all wudtone on this one.

Still a bit different from my final vision, the back, sides and bleeding onto the front will be Black Magic Woman.

Oooo ahh, sounds wicked, can't wait to see it evolve.
I've always wanted a "lemonburst" LP, I reckon that Amber stain would be just the ticket.

Careful what you put it on I tried it on a small cigar box as a test and was very different

[Hillsy]

While I watch paint dry, I was contemplating varitone wiring and putting the output on the side but came to my senses when I found I would have to disassemble then reassemble the 6way switch inside the cavity to get it in, maybe later, 50's wiring it will be.

@Stan, Cheers man

Hillsy, have you read the Gavmeister's guide to saving yourself buckets on psych after ES wiring handbook? May be worthwhile having a look. He's come up with a way to get it all done in a lot easier fashion than using string, etc...

[Hillsy]

Sure did thanks Brendan, grabbed a roll of 5mm tubing the other day, props Gav.

[Hillsy]

Still need to sort the treble bleeds but happy with how the wiring's looking

[Brendan]

Hillsy - looking at your wiring, it may be worth some kind of dry run with the install - I gather that there's not much wriggle room to get all the kit into an ES. Looks like you have some full size CTS pots there and with some paper in oil caps wired as you've done them, I'd hate to see it not fitting through the F hole after you've wired it all up...

[Hillsy]

Was about to hit the sack but had to go check after you said that Fits easily with tricky maneuvering, cheers.

Nice and clean Hillsy, looks great, what are the specs on those caps? I haven't quite decided if I'm going vintage or modern with my wiring yet, I've read JB humbukers used in conjunction with 500k pots can be quite bright anyway so I'm tending towards a modern configuration at this stage...idk.
