    Used wax from one of missus' candles.

    Record warm temperatures for this time of year in Canberra. It will get absolutely freezing soon and lasts for six months. Dreading it.

    Tell me about it... spent 15 years in Canberra and never got used to the winters there..
    Living right next to lake Ginninderra probably didn't help.....

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    15 years of Canberra winters is punishment DB. I know its a beautiful place but since the V8 supercars haven't raced there in 14 years I don't see any attraction plus too many pollies !

    EDIT congrats on over 4000 posts DB, you are the 2nd biggest forum poster !

    hey Andy, maybe DB should open an eastern states Naughty Warehouse and have it in Canberra, that should be enough punishment to not want to go there haha

    Is this right way? Does it make any difference if it is upside down?

    Probably not as the wires will get caught up in the end of the neck.

    Most of the Tele's have the neck PU route so big it is ridiculous yet the positioning of the neck PUP is very, very close to end of the fret board hence why the wires need to come out of the back. I was luck with the Wilkinson PUP's I used as they had their name stamped on them and that was a big hint as to which was the right way around.

    Hey Judders, rotate the neck pup 180 degrees as Waz says and the wire will have a clear path and a shorter path back to the control cavity

    I know this is for a strat and I have a tele but can I confirm that my tuning pegs are not staggered and any tuner can go in any position?
