New wiring for this guy courtesy of a kit from Tone shapers. CTS pots, switchcraft jack and switch (not used), orange drops (if you care), and treble bleeds. It even comes with a choice of braided wire or shielded 4 wire.



Good stuff and $80 for the kit (shipped off Amazon au) is a good rate for name brand parts

Sounds a good deal

Just got this one finished, Honduran Mahogany body with a lightly figured Blackbean top, 6 piece Wenge neck with Indian Rosewood fretboard, jumbo stainless steel frets Gotoh truss rod, bridge and tuners, Seymour Duncan - Slash pickup set, black pearloid binding on body and neck including headstock, strung with a set of D'Addario 10's, sounds and plays as good as it looks \m/ > < \m/

This is the first prototype, making some changes more to suit the router bit I’m going till be using, rounded corners etc…

Awesome. What's it cost to 3D print an object like this?

Maybe a dollar worth of plastic? Plus my labour for the 4 minutes it took to knock up the 3d model

Actually did the same this arvo. Should be up tonight. Don't think I bother to paint it...

Just a cheap Mosky DOD clone. I notoriously hate OD pedals, so I didn't want to spend much to try out a DOD. Turns out it sounds brilliant, but it needed a new coat of paint to look good enough for the pedalboard.

The Mosky stuff is seriously great, I had their spring reverb pedal and have their EP Booster, bloody great!

I'm learning how to solder for the second time. The first time I just gave up.

I've hooked up (I think) my neck tone knob to my bridge pickup. I'm glad in learning this on my $359 Artist Strat clone.

I will work on shielding the guitar cavities tomorrow with aluminium tape. Hopefully that cuts down a lot of the EMI.

hooking the neck tone to the bridge pickup and shielding was a success! wow, what a difference shielding makes to reducing noise. It's like a new guitar now! it has definitely lessened my GAS for a new ST-style guitar.
