  1. I think you could still get two fretboards out of that beast haha :-P but yeah its going to look good
  2. holy crap that fretboard is thick! or is this some type of illusion? haha
  3. very nice! I was going to build a white guitar but it scares me how perfect the guitar shape has to be haha
  4. Yeah I definitely got to do a lot of tests. I wont be able to for a while. Guessing another month until I can get some parts. Its been awesome reading up on this stuff though. Cant wait to try it all out. I'm going to just run some normal three way switches and see what happens :-P if not ill try and call seymour and ask them what kind of switches they would need to be.
  5. You might starve the joint with that.... lol
  6. I agree with using the veneer. if anything it could be used for a fretless someday haha
  7. dang thats looking nice its getting blended well now too.
  8. yeah that looks amazing! Just add a deeper black. Then use a clean wet rag and blend the black into the green and burst it that way
  9. this build is so damn awesome. It makes me want to puzzle some scrap around and make a bad ass build like this.
  10. btw thanks for this man. I read a TON and know a lot more and get these now haha. Thanks to everyone else as well. I'm going to have fun trying a ton of different stuff :-P I might wire what I want then use a push pull for a phase switch. Anyway as far as me wanting to use separate switches I'd have to use SPDT switches correct?
  11. Here we go! After three days of searching a LOT I found this on another forum. see this gives me the wiring for each pickup and the hots will go to the pickup toggle switch. If this is what you were trying to tell me then im sorry for not understanding it. I finally found the diagram that I wanted :-P As far as the second pickup being attached to the same switches. I'm just going to use 3 way 3 plug switches (if this works?). This way it will keep each pickup separate and not keep both of them in the same modes based on what the main switch is doing.
  12. Yeah you both are getting it. Verhoevenc. That diagram is acurate but I'd need to know how to wire that setup with each humbucker separately with two seperate 3way switches. Not both pickups onto one switch. I saw that one but it wasn't the full diagram that I was looking for with the pots, switches and all. I think that's where things got confused. Stubhead I know what you are saying also. I used to run a rotary and it was a hassle. That's why I switched to the triple shots on each humbucker. So yes I get what you mean by having a 4 way switch. My idea on it was to have two separate 3way switches like the triple shot and knowing how to wire it that way instead of a 4 way switch for each humbucker. Ill have to make a video of what my guitar does. It's a 3 way pickup toggle switch with two triple shots on each humbucker. So the possible combinations are way up there. I can put each pickup in any configuration I want and switch to them each with the 3way pickup switch. Or even get crazy with it by having like the neck pickup in single coil and the bridge in parallel then switching the pickup toggle to the middle to get some crazy sound. Its hard to explain.. Or maybe I just need to re read what you guys are saying. I might be missing something. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate it without having to use the triple shot pickup rings at all. So basically i'm going to be wiring two 3way mini toggles to each humbucker. Anyway, idk i'm confused. I've been reading a ton about how to wire most things like this and my mind is a mess. Sorry if I sound a little stupid in this post haha. I've been trying to search for an answer instead of just just being a lame guy and asking for a direct answer here. Thanks for the help guys.
  13. I guess I suck at searching... I looked through every diagram and couldn't find the one with the two switches for each pickup. I don't want to bug to much though, I think ill just dissect some triple shots and let everyone know how it goes here. Thanks everyone! If anyone wants to post the diagram for me that would be awesome. Thanks guys! )
  14. i thought about that but it wouldnt allow me to keep one pickup in series and the other in parallel while in the middle selection on the toggle.
  15. well that would only give me one coil tap in each pickup right? with the triple shot it allows it to select each coil individually and also lets you use the pickup in parallel or series.
  16. So here is my problem. I have these pickup rings. (They look so nice!) Anyway, I wanted to have the same pickup selection as the triple shot mounting ring. Problem is that these rings dont allow for the switches to be there. I thought about gutting the triple shots and drilling into these pickup rings and making a hybrid... but i'm not sure it will work... So my electronics question is, Is there a way to achieve the same coil tapping as these pickup rings by just using switches? (i mean having the two switches per pickup that coil tap based on position.) And if it is possible.. does any wiring gurus know how to wire it up? I'm just looking for a two humbucker, 3 way toggle, one volume, one tone, and then the pickup selection switches. I really hope you guys can help me. I'm going to be searching for ages while I wait for a response from you guys. I mean I still have a lot of research to do about coil tapping switches and how to wire each pickup/coil to them...
  17. wow interesting.. egg whites? i definitely want to see those results after you are done
  18. damn that looks nice! It polished up so nice
  19. wow thats such a good idea.. why didnt i think of that!? *facepalm* Im off to go make better templates haha
  20. i do the same. I learned it in a prs factory tour video on getting the correct neck angle. Anyway, I was just throwing the shim idea out there cause you said you were at the lowest point on the bridge and it still looks like its off the fretboard a bit.
  21. how about raising the neck? maybe even a shim to add an angle?
  22. awesome, how about the hammer? does that work perfect?
  23. wow how well does that work?? it awesome. I cant believe how well those mess pads work. How long do they last usually?
  24. Jebus that looks amazing. I really need to get these micro messes. I only have up to 1500 then I buff by hand with compounds. :-P Great work man I'm dying to try this but I dont think I have the skill just yet. I think ill practice more on scrap :-P
