Thanks heaps Scott, much appreciated

Yep, looks ok. The rollers will only affect the neck pup and only in the rhythm position. In the lead position the master vol, treble tone and bass cut pots control whichever pickups are selected. Your bridge pickup will switch on and off just like the middle and neck.

The bass cut will work in the opposite direction to a normal tone, so at zero it will have no effect (normal) and at 10 will be maximum bass cut. It makes sense like this as having both the treble and bass at 10 will give the brightest sound, but it may seem strange at first.

Wiring all finished, checked the routing again and it fits like a glove.

Did some more sanding on the body to get it really flat....used a flat piece of timber with 240 grit and did a wet sand.
Its amazing how uneven it was .....some areas i took it back to bare.




Now im building up the primer coats and slowly sanding between coats.



The final body colour has arrived from the paint place so will be waiting for coats to dry before i apply.

nice job Nitro. As long as your sanding block piece of wood was flat ! Wiring looks too complicated for me.

what is the final colour going to be ?

Thanks Wokka, yea the block of wood was very flat, i checked beforehand with a steel ruler, in fact it was actually a piece of tazzie oak flooring cut to about 12 inches and the edges rounded. Worked a treat.

Final colour under wraps at the moment as it might not turn out, but will reveal if i have success.
