First Meadowhawk Build?

[daluqfam]

Newbie Questions(1st MdHk build):
1- what brand & where abouts ordering a wiring harness for a Meadowhawk?
2- 250pots or 500s?
3- Do I need long shaft pots?
4- is the body’s thickness adequate to install a front mounted True Tone output jack (similar to a SG or Epiphone)?

TIA, Davis

You’re not likely to find a Meadowhawk specific harness, whoever makes one for ya will need to use flexible leads for the grounding connections and leave some wiggle room.

P90s are not one or the other especially since Mr. Dylan doesn’t appear to publish specs… 500/500 for more high end, 250/250 if they’re ice-picky and 330k if you just want to split the difference.

You need a jack with at least a 3/8” thread length for the same reason you need long shaft pots. Or, get comfy with a forstner bit, hog a little bit of the wood behind the jack location out and you can fit a 1/4” thread jack no problem.
