Hey all, quick update on the progress so far. All the parts have arrived but I’ve been short on time so I moved straight to assembly, soldering etc. here’s a couple of quick photos with this afternoons progress.
Hi ArtieToo, thanks! Even though this one has some dings and marks I just love the colour and it’s a really dense cut of Alder which I like as well… yes, kapton under the screws, it seems to last through multiple adjustments… I get OCD about stuff sometimes.
Edit: Preliminary tap tests suggest all the wiring is correct per the last schematic. I just need to put some strings on tomorrow after work and properly check everything sounds in phase etc.
CONFIRMED WORKING!! Thanks ArtieToo for all your help and encouragement! I love this setup so much and these pickups are just so meaty, for want of a better expression… I ended up putting a TB-15 in the bridge instead of the SH-4 and I’m really happy I did… anyway I’m stoked.
