  1. I just got back from the lumber yard, where i got my wood milled, and borrowed some clamps. I'm getting ready now to glue it, and I figured this is a good enough time to post it here. I'm laminating a body together, with two pieces of ash, and two pieces of maple, the maple being in the middle. I'm going to do set mahogany neck next saturday, when I go back to the lumber yard.

    Sorry, i can't find my digital camera at the moment. I'll post some pictures when i find it.

    Oh yah, i got all the body wood from trees in my back yard i cut down a couple years ago. There's a long story behind why i cut them down, but in short, it's becuase there's a train going through, and I figured that I'd cut them down before the train company did.

  2. ok, if this has been previously explained, can someone please direct me to where it is, cuz i cant find it. If not, well, id like to first apologize for my complete ignorance when it comes to this subject. I have a custom tele body, and three seymour duncan pickups, that Ii have not yet wired up.

    neck- Little '59, stacked single coil

    middle- hot rails, stacked single coil

    bridge- sh6, humbucker

    In my ideal situation, it will have three knobs, volume, tone and a black ice which ill tackle in the future. One of them will be a push pull pot, so when you pull it up, the three pickups are true single coils. Is there any way to do this?

    You can't do it on a normal push pull switch as they are only double pole and so can deal with two pickups. If you are using a strat-style 3 or 5-way switch then it is possible as you use one side of the selector switch to feed the coil tap.

    There is a diagram for this in my book.

    What if i use toggles like a jaguar or something?
