thanks! i will definitely get back to work on that bobbin, i think i have some resin stuff that i can use to seal off that bottom bit so the plastic doesnt move.
im a tad confused, you mentioned covering the pole pieces. should i just use some thin electrical tape?
the general setup of this guitar is going to be insane, i prepared my switch order today and i think it was 10 spdt, 4 dpdt, 2 3pdt, and 2 4dpt toggles. and i got it all under $20! i love having connections. obviously not all of those switches will be used in this, but a good many will!
Also, ive kinda been doodling out some ideas for a completely self contained system that would require no more space in a guitar than completely replacing the neck humbucker, and adding a space for a 9v in the control cavity. i think i may be onto something here..
