Tummy Cut

why isn't the strap button on the upper horn?  :icon_scratch: ???

It was a spur of the moment decision. I may change it, but for now I'll stay with it.

I want to know how everyone gets their wiring so neat...mine always looks like a birdsnest!!!

I wired it outside of the guitar with one of those soldering helpers with a magnifying glass and two alligator clips.

Nice work :icon_thumright: I like the burstover you did on the back of the neck and headstock. :hello2:

Thanks, I debated on whether to do it or not. I was urged-on by a friend to go ahead and do it.

It was a fun project. I'm still fine tuning the nut. The headstock logo didn't turn out as nice as I wanted. I'll live with it for now. :dontknow:

I'll throw a couple more pics up as soon as I've finished with the set-up.

solder station/ solder helper.. I took a look at those and the one I could find had too little room between the arms for anything useful for me. I ended up using a piece of cardboard cut out from the box warmoth shiped my neck in. used a hole punch and placed all the pots and switch on it to solder it all up. arty07:

The simple answer is short runs and a good layout.  Lay the wire you're using down along the exact run, tucked out of the way and everything, then cut the length.  The "helping hands" alligator clip thingy is great for holding it steady.  Use someone else's cavity pics first as a guide.

Pull-ties or zip-ties, whatever you want to call them, help clean up the wiring some. It doesn't show on my pic, but I still have to do that.
Later, i'm going to add a 5-way.

Max...you baked guitar cookies?



:tard:

 

[Mor Paul]

Nah. I just used the control panel to fine-tune the cookies.

Awesome!
