Fiber Optic Sidemarkers Update

Not a huge update, but I thought I would put up a few pics. This is still the same cheapo testing neck in all pics, so please ignore the wood filler and misc holes :p I've got two gauges of fiber and I'm waiting on a shipment since I ran out of one gauge, so I should have everything up and running pretty soon.

So far, things have been falling into place very nicely and I think I've got everything figured out, including a few different options like wiring it directly to the EMGs so that they light up when you are plugged in (and you can use a switch in the cavity) or using a push/pull pot to turn it on/off instead of a mini toggle.

I personally like blue the best. Red, orange and white also work very well. But the others I have (purple, green, yellow) are not as bright so I'm shopping for some more LEDs.

Re: Fiber Optic Sidemarkers Update

Thanks...They will look much better once it's on a "real" fretboard :) I'm still using this one so I can go through all the steps a few times and make sure I have everything down.

Several people have asked if I would sell/install them and I'm willing to do that, but it might not be for awhile since I want to make sure everything goes well, especially after re-gluing the fretboard. But so far so good :)
