Yea I've gotta get a tip, NOTE: Do not buy Gibson mounting rings, the screws strip QUICKLY! But thanks for the compliments I appreciate it, in honor of my first build, rounds are on me!  :occasion14:

Wired everything and whatnot, final pics are here: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=5486.msg64855#msg64855

So I drilled, wired and set Jerry up today and I must say it is honestly the best guitar I've played HUGE  :icon_thumright: I love the compound radius because I can really dial in the action and not get fret buzz in the higher registers! Mahogany Body w/ Pau Ferro Top Rosewood neck with...

Oh alright guys! Thanks! And when I slapped on the tall ring I was wondering (is that gonna work?) I guess a little sanding is due then. And about the Dimarzio 2's that was my original plan, but I decided to just try something out of the box for this one. I'll keep you updated, I plan to do...

The neck pocket is level as my Jag.

I read about it on the site, but figured they did it automatically since ya know you pretty much can't use a TOM well w/o it. But I think my shim plan will work out. I thought the pau ferro top would come out darker, BUT it looks very, very good in person so I'm definately pleased with it. And...

My Mahogany Pau Ferro top WGD body and Rosewood Ebony fret board neck! Wooo first build!!!! Seymour Duncan Jazz in the Neck Lindy Fralin Humbucker in the middle Seymour Duncan '59 in the bridge (More of an experimental humbucker setup that I may change later) Three push/push pots for neck...

Okay so dig this. I you go play an SG, then go play a V neck (Jimmie Vaughan Tex-Mex strat and such) the boatneck, to me, feels like a combo of both with the fatness of a gibson neck and the slight "point" or the bottom of the V in the V neck. I found it comfortable when I played a for sale...

cool thanks

I was just wondering if the bodies pre-routed for a TOM has a neck shim of if you have to specifically tell them. I've already ordered figuring you couldn't use it w/o a shim (or use it well anyway) so I figured they did it for you. Was I wrong? I hope not, it should be here soon thought ...

I got the coil tap schem from: http://www.guitarelectronics.com/category/wiringresources.1wiringdiagrams.humbuckerwiringmods/ The top one is for North and the bottom two are for South (coils). My plan is when it comes time I'm going to redraw by hand so it's much nicer. Let me know if the above...

Yea, before I discovered Warmoth guitars and their neverending magic I was saving up for this beautiful G&L legacy that I would play just about everyday at my local music store and I always loved the controls because you could get (very close to)  texas blues tones, vintage strat tones, very...

Haha yea I gotcha, I may just do that Here is one of the schematics, just like I described it except the pot values doulbe each time (250k, 500k, 1m) http://www.glguitars.com/schematics/Legacy_Special_Schematic_drawing.pdf

Trust me, I understand that. I'm just trying to make this as snazzy as possible so I don't have to crack it open and re-wire it again.

Check in my thread "help please" and there's some good info/links.
