Thread: A day at the beach....

    All righty then. I'm ready to close the book on this one now!

    Big thanks to all who put in ideas and advice

    Finally got around to opening tge 3wsy switch to repair it. I thought there might be a little more to them. But I was wrong. Simple yet effective(when working) switch. I just had to bend a metal contact a little to make sure signal got through properly. Took a lot longer to put back together then it did to take it apart , but I got there.

    Guitar intonates well. Plays solid and harmonically , well, squeals like a banshee. Artificial harmonics come off off every note with ease. Will upload video shortly

    Very happy with finished product.
    Thankyou pitbull guitars for deepening my addiction.

    Been a bit of journey, this one, Barry and it's great to see it come to fruition. Like the Gavmeister says, I'm looking forward to hearing the audio too.
    Congratulations on an 'interesting' build.

    Kick ass! You weren't kidding about the pinch harmonics. That thing wails! Tight playing.

    And yeah. All stock hardware. Only thing I changed was lots of shielding through the cavities and I reversed the bridge pickup to face the other way. Oh. And replaced the cap on the bridge tone pot with a Russian Polly oil paper job
