    TL kit in Ash. Not the greatest photographer. But I really like how it sounds. You can expect a demo when my DIs get here

    Really happy with the electrics, also.








    And the electronics which turned out good for my skill level (i.e. zero);


    In order they are Volume (Bridge on bottom, neck on top), Tone (Bridge on Bottom, Neck on Top), Pickup Selector for humbucker (Series, Parallel, furthest from bridge only, closest to bridge only), Ground Selector for the hum (couldn't find a suitably small rotary switch to have it all on one), and then an ON/ON/ON which functions both as a stereo/mono toggle (center being mono, the left/right determines which channel is L and R) and a pickup selector (anything to the Ring is grounded when playing mono) - center being both.

    Tone caps are Russian Military Teflon rated at a whopping 0.012uF

    That has come up exceedingly well. Love the colour. Impressive electronics, would have fried my brain trying to wire that up.

    Yeah, wot they all said! I like the headstock touch too. Definitely sets it apart. You putting up a sound clip?
    Well done, man.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks And special thanks to Pablo for the pickup surrounds!

    @Lawry haha the headstock is really handy when using it in class to teach kids the parts of a guitar and violin!
    And yeah, a demo will be up when I feel a bit better, when I sort out my wiring and make a suitable cable. Unless something happens it'll be up before the end of the month easily.
