well it doesnt heat up now, months ago when i was experimenting it would. it has to be something with the switch...

hmmm, well im using 1 resistor per LED, not 1 per 2, because the wizard said 2x5, even though im horrible at math i know thats 10..hah

good point, at first though i did try bigger resistors and it would heat up the batter in about 5 seconds to where you couldnt touch it...anyways i cant change them out now theyre already in the neck....but there has to be something with the switch

theyre wired parallel, i'll try to draw it up tomorrow Solution 0: 2 x 5 array uses 10 LEDs exactly +9V + -|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- + R = 150 ohms + -|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- + R = 150 ohms + -|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- + R = 150 ohms + -|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- + R = 150 ohms + -|>|- -|>|- -/\/\/\- + R = 150 ohms The wizard says: In solution 0: * each 150 ohm resistor dissipates 60 mW * the wizard thinks 1/4W resistors are fine for your application Help * together, all resistors dissipate 300 mW * together, the diodes dissipate 660 mW * total power dissipated by the array is 960 mW * the array draws current of 100 mA from the source.

http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz i'll try to work on the issue tomorrow and see if anything happens

Oh and also, when i turn them on...sometimes it takes a few seconds for the lights to actually turn on...

sorry guys was away from the pc for a day...well if anyone can find the LED wizard, i wired it exactly how that told me to, using the same resistors, i know the LED wizard is on here somewhere but i cant find it, maybe someone with better searching skills can? and yes the LED's are all wired correctly i believe, like i said the battery doesnt heat up, and when i turn them on the battery doesnt die within 5 minutes, its when its off that it drains, my only guess is that some wiring must be wrong on the switch part...let me try to describe how its rigged, so there's 10 led's in the circuit, the wizard told me to use a resistor for each one, and i forgot the resistance nnumber of the resistor but its a small one, anyways, its all wired correctly positive and negatives, now when it gets down to the switch and battery adaptor the positive wire and the positive wire of the battery are rigged up to one side of the switch while the negatives to the other. there is some good news though, i strung the guitar today and it plays fine no weird fret buzzing or anything

hmmm do you think there is some type of wiring i can rig so it can run off the input jack power? i really need to tackle this issue!!

there is no real picture i can get of the wiring diagram, thats a picture of the guitar, there was a post somewhere in here before with the diagram but i cant find it

Well, its wired as it should be, resistors, LED's everything i just really cant think of why it drains while its off, i used an LED wiring wizard and everything, and the battery doesnt over heat. id assume the neck just has to be set or something, i'll take it to my local luthier as soon as i can

Anyone??? someone in here has to have one they dont use....i'd be putting it to good use recording and making music...

so recently i setup a neck with LED's in it, first guitar project ever done, and but the jackson reverse neck onto a epiphone les paul body...looks mighty sick...anyways the battery gets drained even while the lights are not switched on, any ideas? and also the neck looks like its sticking up a bit out of the inner part of the pocket, is that normal?

Hello there, im looking for a roland g 707 or a g 77b, main influence to get this guitar is amir derakh , and just because its a badass guitar, and the bass version is sick as well! anyways im ready to buy notify my at grimzors@hotmail.com if you got any info or are selling!

Hmm there's no mockingbirds there :-/

thanks a bunch!
