Did a reverse printed outline on clear laser water slide, then painted the sizing in-between the lines, then added the gold leaf. After that a light mist coat of clear lacquer . When I attached the completed decal, I added a few drops of pva to the water to ensure the decal would adhere.


Bugga! the new switch I got today ( a stew mach type from the local guitar shop)is one of then tall ones and it will not adjust to allow contact for both terminals when in the center possy...In my frustration, I have chipped the beast, so now I have a repair job to do as well. I reckon I must have a big "L" for looser on my forehead now... So Monday will have to get another 3 way toggle switch, this time I will buy it from J-Car.)

Oh poo. Hate it when I chip the finish! :x I know how you are feeling

There is a workaround for the switch problem.

All you need to do is chisel out a slot to give the switch room to breath
You can do this and the cover plate will hide it.

It is the dam switch itself Phil.. I had it fitted in water tight so to speak.. would work in neck, and bridge, only neck in middle possy.. tried adjusting the springy points poles on it, but it just wont play the game.. the original switch, which was swapped out today , was doing weird things in that it made the neck volume control a master.. strange for a sealed unit that ..

reminded me of the old style pommy electric pumps that were on the thorny croft fire tenders.. friggen night mares they would cause...lol

I have had a Stewmac supplied Switchcraft 3 way do that to me, good thing is they happily replaced it for free.
Maybe you should take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement.

Oops, missed that post Gavin. Will do that today, and follow the Gibson style of wiring re cap-to-vol.
Got to admit tho, the guitar was super quiet re noise close to the computer... the $90 buck "ion" guitar the missus bought me for xmas from JB hi-fi is noisey as a badly tuned radio next to the computer.. lol certainly says a bit about what shielding can stop.
