Hey guys, I bought a pickguard assembly pre-wired. I bought a gfs single coil for the bridge position. When replacing the pickup, I just soldered it back exactly where the other wires were. I downloaded a wiring diagram for a strat, and I noticed the 5way switch is not wired the way the diagram says! Anyhow, I assembled the guitar and it has no output what soever. I have not yet disassembled it to see if the input jack solder may have come loose. Would there be no output at all if the new single coil was wired incorrectly? Should I resolder the whole thing according to the diagram? Also, is the same wire that goes from the bridge single coil to the volume pot the same wire that goes to the 5way toggle, or is it two different connections??

Hey guys, I plan on buying a stew mac buffing pad that mounts on a drill, but for now im finishing a project. and want to buff it by hand. Is a 100% cotton t shirt sleeve appropriate?? Ive heard to not apply the polish to the guitar, but to the cloth. How much should be applied, and what rubbing techniques should be used? THANKS

Hey there, Im a long time guitar player whos just getting into some beginner building and finishing. If I buy a body thats already been sealed and i want to apply a laquer finish, how many coats do I need apply and how much sanding between coats is necessary? Once the lacquer is correctly applied, do I need to sand the final coat? Do i have to apply some sort of clear coat? Does the finish need buffed? I was going to use KTM water based lacquer? ANY HELP U GUYS COULD OFFER WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!
