I am looking for a help with a wiring diagram for a 6 position selector

1. Neck

2. outer coils in series

3. inner coils in series

4. Bridge and outer neck

5. Both

6. Bridge

I have not yet wired a selector so I need a complete diagram

Thanks EDLK

I am about to do my first nitro finish. I have done a lot reading up on techniques. one thing that is never covered, what do do with spayer while waitng in between coats? do you have to fully clean after each application when doing several coats in one day?

I am trying to achieve the following switch wiring with two humbuckers

1. Bridge Humbucker

2. Neck Humbucker

3. Both Humbuckers

4. Bridge Humbucker and top 1/2 of neck single

5 Both Humbukers out of phase

6. Both outside single coils.

Can anyone provide a wiring diagram?

i work today and tomorrow, but i will radius up a test board and slot it for you on sunday...video narroration and all, including what not to do

when using binding i put a drop or 2 of superglue under the part of the fret with no tang, and maybe 2 drops evenly spred in the slot basically with the glue, if it starts seeping you can wipe it away fast, no harm no foul since it dries completly clear, you might have trouble on rosewood if your doing this, but not ebony or maple. its just a trial and error type thing, i like mine in the middle and at the ends, but just see which works best for you

or wait till i make you a video before you continue

low end fuzz - i try doing it in one dead hit with the hard plastic side of my hammer and just cant get it to sit even and flat :-\

?

i hope you dont mean one big hit in the middle for each fret? do you?

if so (i hope not) hit the tang farthest from you in to place, now a 1/4 of the fret is in and the rest is sticking straight inthe air (not stright up, but you get it!) now just whack it firmly in a towards you fashion, 'folding' the tang into the slot maybe 1/4" at a time; easiest thing in the world; and you can do it on a blank carved or finished neck;

even if your one of those strange people that radius and fret their boards prior to gluing , with no special cauls or nothing; just remember that you are hammering and fret end cutoffs are much stronger than wood! so keep a clean area with some support so your not chasing your neck all over!

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this, filing a pretty substantial v groove in the slot and using some thinned wood glue did the trick

I purchased a pre slotted ebony fretboard and fret wire from stewmac

Both are set up at .023". However in both hammering and pressing the frets are chipping the fret board slots.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I just finished scraping down a plastic binding on a mahogany body with maple front and back

What is the best way to get the slight lines left by the scraper.

Should I sand it? Does a clear nitro finish cover this.

Thanks

The guys have might sound a bit harsh but they are exactly right. You have to draw it out full size. No one can tell you exactly what depth is needed. You will have to take a lot of things in consideration: How high are the tops of the fret above the face of the guitar and how high would you like to have your action is the most important data. That is very individual and every answer would have to be adjusted for the specific guitar and player.

So do as Setch suggests. Draw out the side view full scale. Body thickness, neck thickness, neck rout depth, fret height, full neck length, nut height, and everything and mark the place for the bridge. Then you mark the desired action at say the 12th fret. Now connect all the dots… Sorry draw a line from the nut, through the “action mark” and continue so that you pass your bridge mark. Now you know how high above the face of the body the highest bridge saddle should be. Draw the bridge height and measure how deep the rout should be. Tadaa!

The same thing with the pickups. Measure your average pickup to strings distance. Draw the pickups into the same drawing. Measure the depth. It’s when you do this you starting to appreciate a CAD program.

Or even better, as your question actually implies that you lack some basic knowledge of this; Read up a lot more on the internet and most important buy a good book (Melvyn Hiscocks book give you enough information to solve this problem). Just make sure you have understood it all before you go on and waste expensive wood because you were not ready to start they build yet.

Thanks for the direction, I have it worked out.

I want to recess a Graphtech Shaller tunomatic bridge on a flat top/ bolt on guitar.

The fret board will be 7/16 above the body

Can any one help with how deep I need to route out the cavity to receive the bridge.

Also How deep do you route for a standard humbucker that will be screwed the the body with out rings?

Thanks Ed
