    Hi Chaz here just arrived

    How do I post pictures? I have hollow body a GR-1SF and cannot identify a couple of parts. Also noticed the wiring diagram recommended seems different from the wiring supplied.

    Welcome to the crazy GAS ranch, Chaz

    To post pics, go to the Go Advanced tab, scroll down and you will see the upload pics tab.

    You will need to resize pics to 1000x 1000 for them to upload successfully

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Oh, the wireing diagram should match up with supplied bitz..
    When you get the pic posting sorted out, take a few happy snaps and our wireing gurus will soon sort it out.

    This is the wiring diagram recommended for my model but my wiring is a lot different

    OK.
    First pic is the support for the pick guard. Personally I reckon these Guitars look nicer without it

    With the wires supplied, ignore the colours and simply use the lengths of wire that reach.

    Lucky you! You scored an extra Green Cap Capacitor!

    Hope that helps.

    Please start a build diary in my build diary section, we all love seeing how peeps builds are going

    Moving On at Last

    Well have managed to get some work done on the guitar. Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_20151202_085502.jpg  Views: 181  Size: 88.4 KB  ID: 8564First thing was to get rid of the mouse ears. I decided to keep it to a simple cut as I don't have a steady hand anymore or a band saw.

    Next after years of sanding was two coats of orange stain for the body.Click image for larger version.  Name: Stained1.jpg  Views: 176  Size: 476.2 KB  ID: 8566
    And black for the neck Click image for larger version.  Name: Black Neck.jpg  Views: 173  Size: 586.8 KB  ID: 8565I didn't intend the neck to stay black I had other ideas in mind.
