My first project

[The Norwegian Guy]

I have finally ordered some parts for my firt warmoth project!  :hello2:  :cool01:

I have to admit that I have taken inspiration from Stratplayer1's 80's superstrat.
I'll post some pics as soon as the parts arrive!

Godt å høre!  :blob7:

Warmoth will ship my body today, I presume. Looking forward to it!
Next things I need is neck, bridge and pickups :hello2:

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

The first parts have arrived! :headbang:
I have also traded an old Marshall 1922 cab. for two Seymour Duncan pickups.
JB og JB custom. and ca. $100 (500nok) But I don't get those before tomorrow.

Look at the handsome volumeknob!

I'm expecting the body to arrive in the end of this week or in the beginning of the next week.

hohohoho :hello2:
I think they'll arrive in the middle of next week.
I had to pay some bills, so the neck has to wait though :sad1:

 

[stratplayer1]

bleh.. bills suck 

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Yepp

I got the pickups today.
Seymour duncan custom and seymour duncan SH-5

Look at the soldering on the pot. Does it look okey? I had problems with attatching the wires to the pot, because the pot didn't get hot enough to melt the soldering tin properly.

 

[elgravos]

the CTS pots that warmoth sells are coated with chrome so you'll have a hard time getting anything to stick to them.  You need to take a file and file off / scratch the surface of the pots to create points where the solder contacts will stick.  Once you do that it will go a lot easier.

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

ahh! thanks man!
I was starting to think that it was my soldering iron that was crap! :laughing7:

I have to cut away some of the shielding tape.

Should I shield the pickup cavity as well?
