    Best place for custom wiring diagrams?

    That is easy to do. I assume you have a wiring diagram for the G&L in which case just adapt that diagram as below. Instead of using the switch, you would have a bus type wire across the common terminals of the push pulls and one wire from the last to the volume pot input. This is similar to...

    Something interesting on my bench today.

    No, the wiring is basically just the pickups running in parallel.

    Post your requirements, someone might have a diagram or be able to point you in the direction of one.

    I love Strats, But the bolts are always an issue (had professionally re-doweled) already slipping/shifting after 2-weeks!!

    Soloist vs Strat

    I did not vote, I like both of them. It would depend on what sort of guitar you are building.

    Ebony Neck Natural oil resurfacing?

    Tequila sunrise roasted swamp ash?

    As generally a darker wood will make a somewhat transparent finish, less vibrant RSA would likely result in what you said compared to swamp ash. E.g. compare Swamp Ash to Mahogany for tequila sunrise burst. https://warmoth.com/guitar-finishes You probably would end up with something in...

    In this case, it is nothing really to do with bolts as they are really neck screws. It is also nothing to do with the threads of the screws being stripped either. So what some of our US brethren mean is that the bolt which is really a screw has stripped or reduced the grip of thread in the wood...

    Indeed, the holes in the body should be large enough for the screws not to thread into the body but pass through it and screw into the neck. What I said is true of how those holes should be, not what sometimes may not be. If the OPs body has threads in it, they should be drilled out to allow...

    Ebony Neck Natural oil resurfacing?

    Then it is just a characteristic of the wood, mineral spots.

    No neck screws/bolts just pass through a body and only thread into the neck.
