Grrrrrr...

Trying to get my Strat completed and I have a short somewhere! I had taken it back apart to fix a mistake in my wiring diagram (which is fixed now), set the pickguard back in place and tested all the settings by tapping the pups with a screwdriver... perfect! Put it together and there was a short. Took it back apart, found the short, tested by tapping again, put it back together and now there's another one! Fairly certain I know where it is but... DAMN!

If there's one thing I've learned about Strats it's this: pickguards are great compared to working in the rear cavity for the initial wiring, but they really SUCK for troubleshooting!

Doesn't help that I'm also trying to conserve strings, so I'm removing the bridge every time. Thinking it's time to go ahead and just re-string!

All right... found the short. It WASN'T what I thought. The Super 3-Way is a little taller than normal, and when I re-did my wiring I also took the time to do some shielding. With the pickguard laid into place everything was fine, but when I screwed it down one of the contacts on the 3-way was touching the shielding! A couple strategically-placed strips of electrical tape did the trick... and SHE'S DONE!

Stay tuned for a thread dedicated to Ashleigh, my new BriGuy Georgiecaster!

Started making a neck for the Ash body I shared earlier, Wenge/Bubinga with a 27" scale length Rosewood fretboard

I just installed a set of the GFS gold foils, too. I'm really liking them.

What's on my workbench? In a word, Nigel.



I'm upgrading the electronics in my '90s MIK Hamer Slammer Series Sunburst model. I put in a pair of Josh Gravelin pickups a while back, nearest thing to the PAF-style pickups Hamer used in the late '70s. Now, despite all the help I'm getting, I'm replacing all the other little bits: new CTS pots, Switchcraft jack and switch, and a set of real-deal Schaller M6 tuners up top to replace the cheesy MIK look-alikes. Controls will be two volumes and a tone, with a push/pull coil-split for the bridge pickup on the tone pot.

And here she is, finished.



I believe the original Slammer Series guitars were built by Cort. It's a great guitar, nice solid hunk of mahogany with (I assume) a flame veneer on top. Nice chunky neck, but not TOO big. Its only failing was the cheap hardware, and that's fixed now. Awesome little guitar for short $$$.

BTMN has one, but he won't sell it. It's a really cool guitar, like a grown-up LP Jr. I've been playing it exclusively this week.
