Sneaky Wokks, very sneaky, you de-jacker extraordinaire
I'm just watching paint dry at the moment (literally, but with purpose), I'll post up some pics and details once I get a few more coats on.... maybe.
Scott.
haha no worries Scott, I can't delete a thread so thats the best comment I could come up with.
Look forward to pics, any clues what colour paint mate ?
with the EXA-1 wiring I got a feeling I cooked the volume pot, had trouble getting solder stick to the back of the pot for grounding, and I know I should rough up the surface of the back of the pot. The earth lug seemed to be ok

Yeah, a cooked pot would explain it. Good time to put that multimeter of yours to work.
Scott.
cool, so whats the easy way to test a pot with the multimeter please Scott ?

Set your multimeter to resistance (Ohms) then put the probes on the outer lugs, that should give you the max value of the pot (anywhere from 400K-600K). Then, test between the middle lug and the non-ground lug and check the values at the full turn, mid-point and zero turn on the pot. It should give you ~0 Ohms, about 85% of max (~ 440K), and max value, respectively (a linear 'B' type pot would be 50% at the mid-point). And, just to be sure, test between the middle lug and back of the pot with the volume at zero and it should be close to 0 Ohms. Make sense?

yeah cool thanks Scott, I'll give it a crack tonight, these multimeters are worth their weight in gold !

WOW ..... what an epic read, it was like discovering your first chapter book. I am at work but I cannot stop reading the thread even if my lunch hour is over ..... and I have to regurgitate what other people thought about you Master Scott ultimate guitar making skills and electronics engineering. So much to learn from you and I am glad you're sharing them with us, especially that string jig thing what a set up. WOW
Thanks Man

I love reading your build threads Weirdy, but at the same time, I always walk away thinking my next project will be just completely inadequate, lol.
Seriously loving the detail you put into your guitars though mate. ������
Can't wait for some news pics mate.
