I went with the Seymour Duncan Brad Paisley La Brea pickup set and StewMac wiring kit. Shielded everything but the neck pickup cavity because is was ugly with it and ripped it out. Gotoh Art 3 bridge w/ compensated saddles (off +1 and -1 on either side, not bad). Neck relief is just a hair...

It kept giving me a "file too large" I til I found a size it liked

Stonewall Jackson is almost complete. Just some wiring, testing and adjusting

And exactly on the day my order is delivered, and I have a question... No worries, if the email is tied to the domain and locked in limbo temporarily, I can wait.

I've been eyeing this spalted maple body for awhile and finally decided to grab it. I haven't done a build in over a year, not counting the cigar box.

Oh, so am I haha. I was sitting there looking at it and saying to myself "Did you really spend that much to build a custom guitar just for a novelty tone?" When I thought about it like that, it was an easy decision.

When I put both pickups in single coil, I get a very tele-esque tone. Perhaps a bit quieter than a true single coil but usable. I left the triple shots in more out of convenience though. Soldering out and in to the little pads right there on the pickup is almost as quick and easy as it gets. EMG...

This should be the final assembly update on this particular guitar. I swapped out the P-Rails for a set of SD Whole Lotta Humbucker, and I couldn't be any more tickled pink over it. Now I have that gleeful new toy feeling I should have had when I first plugged it in 3 or so months ago. It is...

Congratulations! I saw that thing pop up and knew the contest was over. Beautiful work inside and out

At the last second, a new challenger enters the  arena... and dashes the hopes of us mere mortals

It was part of the adventure. I completely broke down refinished, rebuilt and partially redesigned an old Matsumoku guitar I had since I was 14. The action ended up better than it originally was, so I'm glad I did it.

Just one more from the peanut gallery... The only time I've ever needed to shim a neck was when I added a humbucker mounting ring for aesthetic purposes. I had to raise the strings for clearance and as a result needed a .5° tilt to keep the action  even.

Thanks! I'm starting to enjoy the P-90 part, particularly as a lead tone, but there's definitely better options than the P-rail for that tone. I still find it lacking enough bottom for a rhythm tone without cranking the bass on the amp to 7 or 8.

A quick question. How long after sending a submission should one suspect it may have ended up in a spam folder and try again?

I'm beginning to appreciate the P-90 rone, particularly when clean with both neck and bridge working together. Now instead of wanting to do a pickup swap I'm considering going to a single master volume and wiring in a blend pot to get exactly where I want

I'm going to give it a little time and see if the sound grows on me. Well, that and I just ordered an Ibanez BTB745, so my discretionary spending just went bye bye for the month. :headbang:
