Chris Build of TL-1 Kit

[57strummers]

So moving on the new 4 way switch was deeper than the kit one so had to route the hole a little deeper protected the paint job with a copy of Honky Tonk Woman!!!. Trip to JayCar to get some wire to hookup the upgraded pots and switch... looking might be a little heavier than what I need so may need to go and get a smallerdifferent gauge of wire so I don't fill up the channel with over-sized insulated wire. The items cost $1.65 so another trip for lighter gauge will not be an issue, store is close by.

Electronic 4 way switch upgrade complete and ready to test in a day or so when the body is finished.

Relicing on the body begins!, looking ok I think. Got some dirt onto the surface to dirty up the exposed wood and perhaps some areas of the sanded paint. Will wipe off later and see if my act of brilliance is in fact brilliant... lol

I am hoping it will give the white paint a bit of a dirty look as well.
