Here's some more pictures of the back and some details on the knobs. I installed the flush ferrules, I think they look great! All hardware is nickel, except for the knobs, of course. The tuners are Hipshot staggered locking tuners. I haven't had a problem with the strings popping out of the...

I was scouring the internet for colored knobs and came across this guy on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/str/arsilverguitars

Well, between screwing up my first soldering job, then doing a better job with a second try and discovering a faulty pot, this thing is finally done. I love it. The humbucker and the p90 bridge work well together for my taste. I really love blending the two, which I didn't like much with the two...

Excellent, thank you for that.

I'm setting myself up for soldering and I'm realizing I am doing something that isn't easy to find an answer for in tutorials. This is my first time doing electronics and soldering, so I'm a little confused and overwhelmed. I've got a neck humbucker with 4 wires: red, black, white and braided...

I'm setting myself up for soldering and I'm realizing I am doing something that isn't easy to find an answer for in tutorials. I've got a neck humbucker with 4 wires: red, black, white and braided. I've got a P90 bridge pickup with black, white and blue wires. I've got 3 ft of black/white...

I got one I think will work, it's cut for LP/Tele guitars. The one from Warmoth doesn't have nickel, unfortunately.

I found a curved plate that should fit the tele. Maybe it's the Gibson influence, but I like this better than the cup/electrosocket.

The body showed up on Saturday. I checked the fit of the neck and it's perfectly snug in the pocket. I put some copper foil in. Not the best job, but also not bad for my first time. While I was looking into installing the cup, I learned the hard lesson about Tele jack inputs. I decided to skip...

Nice tip, hadn't thought about that! The most harrowing thing about doing DIY guitars is drilling holes into the parts!

Neck arrived! Installed my Hipshot nickel tuners.

Got my notification. Should be getting the body and neck on Friday!

Is this the 42 or 43?

I got one for a bridge pickup. Still waiting on the parts from Warmoth, but I am pumped to get it. Gonna use it in combo with the Fralin PAF humbucker at the neck. I have 500k pots for both pickups.

That video is a good find, because the photo at the beginning of this thread is from this performance. Also, notice that Electrical Guitar? I don't think I've seen an acrylic body on one before. I wonder if that's just an Electrical neck replacement on an Ampeg body?
