  1. Ok, so now I am hearing that I want both NO and NC. Can anybody clarify this... Everybody seems to be sure... WHo has actually done this? Thanks again for the input. Joe
  2. Ok, so Im back where I was. Crap. Im going to search some more and see if I can find the same button in a NC model. Grrrr.. Thanks for the input. Joe
  3. Ok, you are right, that is what I want. Kind of relieving because the NC buttons are not quite as cool looking. I found this one http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp...button%20switch and I like the way it looks. (type in "spst pushbutton switch" in the search box if the link doesnt show the picture. Its the first one in all black. Thanks for the reply.
  4. Ok... I went down to radioshack to look at what they had and it turns out I found a couple that werent so bulky. I actually think I found one that i like...after reviewing the previously posted topics Ive come to the conclusion that what I need is a SPST momentary button that is normally closed. I would just like somebody to verify this before I go to work. Thanks guys. Joe
  5. Howdy everybody, As my strat project moves along (slowly) I find myself with more minor setbacks and questions (its more fun this way) and...well, here I am again. This time it has to do with electronics. My strat is HH and will be fairly modest. I want one master volume and one master tone (eliminating the original MV on strats that is always in my way) using the bottom two holes. So far so good. Im planning on using a three-way selector (bridge, bridge/neck, neck)...pretty basic. Now, my real question has to do with putting in a momentary volume kill witch. I've toyed with the idea of a toggle, but I am attracted to thought of using a momentary button (you dont see many buttons on guitars). Now my problem of course is finding a button. Every place I've gone and everything I have found on the net is too big/bulky. I want something low profile and black. Its seems weird to me that I cant find anything like this when I think about how prevelant buttons are in our daily lives, but every electronic store seems to have the same bulky button. Any ideas? Websites? Also, another concern that now arises is placement of the momentary button (supposing I ever find one ) I could put it where the normal master volume goes, but this would contradict not using this hole unless the button is low profile. Hmmm. Input is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Joe
  6. I was thinking about doing something like this, but with a momentary button. The idea would be to get the Tom Morello type effect, but the button seems like it might be a little easier to manage and if placed in the right spot could look pretty sharp. Any input? Thanks Joe
  7. Howdy everybody, I am new here and have a few questions about my first project guitar. It is a MIM strat body with SSH pickup cavity. What I would like to do is put in dual humbuckers. Is routing out the excess area of the neck cavity to fit a humbucker much of a procedure? The truth is it doesnt seem too far fetched to me, but I am wondering if it is worth my time and money to just sell the body and find another one that is already routed for what i want. I see that many of you have experience routing guitars from scratch so I am hoping for some valuable insight. Thanks in advance. Hasta luego Joe
