pleeeeease tell me where you got the plastic stuff for the top?? its sooo nice, i want to make a copy aswell

lol im liking the idea of that, but im not sure on the useability lol i modded a zoom multi fx pedal into a vintage metal axxe razor guitar and it was amazing but i was a bit of a problem when it came to changing fx patches due to having to tap a button oh well, matt belamy has done it so why not? if its simlpe single fx it should be ok, i did a single fx for mi pal and he loves it and doesnt find it a problem changing so fair enuf

lol well this may help, i did this for a guy on his £2000+ ibanez jem guitar i think ive written the diagram right, i did it freehand, didnt even plan it out cant remember what i did to the tone and volume, i think its just standard wiring sorry for the bad diagram, i did it in a couple of mins in paint lol green and silver wires are the ground and case ground wires on the pickup, green is standard ground colour for pickups, the pickup case ground wire is usually bare, red in the diagram is just the hot wire from your pickup, the 2 wires connected together in the middle of each humbucker i dont know what colour they will be on your pickups, but you are basically wiring the humbuckers in series. if you dont know what that means then read up on it cos im not very good at explaining it the five way switch is easy, the bottom connection that goes to your volume andtone is the final output for your pickups after selection, the selection switch will give these positions: 1 (top): neck humbucker 2: neck H/B + middle single 3: middle single 4: middle single and bridge H/B 5 (bottom): bridge H/B you can check this by tapping the pickups with a magnetic screwdriver when you are pllugged into a amp, you will hear clicks when you tap a selected pickup and nothing if it is not selcted. if the selctions are reversed, a.k.a the top switch position selects the bridge H/B instead of the neck H/B then simply switch the 2 red hot H/B wires around on the switch pins notice i am only using one side of the switch, the other four contacts below are just a mirror image of the top set of contacts so you can use them to select certain onboard effects? its just an idea cos u wer saying about sustain, look at the sustain articles on this site, yu could set it so that in certain positions on the selector it would switch on a built in sustain circuit? i would suggest top position to switch sustain and have a microphonic sustainer mounted under the neck pickup hope this helps will oh yeah i forgot, this setup sounded amazing on his guitar and it took about an hour to complete, plus there is a possibility to get even more sounds if you replace your tone pot with a pull push pot of the same value and wire it as a coil tap like on the vintage metal axxe razor guitar
