    HSH wiring question

    It could be done, either with two DPDT switches which could be push pulls or toggles one for each pickup or with a 4PDT switch to split both pickups from one switch. 4PDT could be either a toggle or a Fender S1 switch.

    @Rick you are using the wrong term for what you mean when saying tilt back in this thread. A Warmoth tilt back neck is at the headstock, in this post what you are talking about is a body with an angled neck pocket.

    The hot P-Rails would use 500K the same as the normal P-Rails. If you do not know why you would be putting things into a guitar, then you probably don't need it or need to do more research.

    Strat wiring: problems of a lefty

    You cannot wire a normal pot opposite, that will not work due to how it works internally. It is possible to buy left-handed pots which have a reverse taper.

    Your choice of 7/8" for the side jack is a good one to make. On the Trembucker I am not sure that you need it. The diagram has a TOM style bridge which would have narrower spacing. You mention also using a Bigsby B7 but that is for Archtop guitars which use a different constuction method to a...

    Strat wiring: problems of a lefty

    A standard 5 way switch can just be rotated and is not handed to begin with.

    What's the spacing of the pot holes for Warmoth basses?

    You could use that jack and mounting plate or just use a "football" style plate and a 1/4" jack. AFAIK the SSB J Bass top rout uses a standard size J Bass control plate. As yours is rear rout, if the harness is made to fit a J Bass spacing it should be fine.

    Black Burst Over Other Colors?

    Ask Warmoth sales, I suspect the answer would be no.

    HSH wiring question

    It does if only using an HH setup on the superswitch but indeed for HSH it does not. So adding a toggle just for the middle pickup hot signal to volume input could give. 1 volume, 1 tone, 5-way super switch: toggle off. Bridge Series Bridge Parallel Bridge (Series) and Neck (Series) in...

    Anyone put 24 frets on a Jazzmaster?

    How did this happen?

    That is what the progressively higher grits are for once you have it level and matt. Each finer grit removes the scratches of the coarser grits prior to any buffing.

    How did this happen?

    It just means that there are still low spots. When level sanding unless the surface goes matt, prior to buffing you will end up with something looking like what you have. It should go flat and matt on lower grits, moving on to higher grits and buffing will not get rid of the low glossier spots...

    Second 'build'. - Graffiti Yellow HSS Stratalike

    At least one I thought of when I checked no longer does spraying. Of course, an approach available is to get a DIY paint ready body from Warmoth, and then get thyself some cans and spray.
