Re: I'm starting a new guitar project.
Finished up all the hardware today, jack, killswitch skewed up. I still have a weak solder somewhere, its very hissy. I'll have to go through them all again to find it... But... SHE'S ALIVE!!!
Going to take a bit to get used to it, warriors are laid out very flat with little neck pocket angle. I'm going to love it.
I may get a more narrow nut to scoot the strings closer.
What's more narrow than an R3??
Here it is nearly done. Still needs headstock decal and maybe fret board decals or something.

HA! my mate did everyone of his guitars with them. They doo look ok in pics but up close they look beyond homo.

Re: I'm starting a new guitar project.
MAN! I rewired this sucker three times, each time using a different pot thinking it was the pot that was coincidentally bad.... Nope.
Turns out the diagram I was using for the BARREL output jack was backwards.... Used a generic one off the net somewhere and rewired the tip and inside sleeves the other way.... all that hiss is gone gone gone.
Ended up with a 250 brand new pot in it.... going to redo that tomorrow with a 500k pot.... don't have it in me to rewire it again tonight. It plays pretty well though, fine-tuning things as I go. what a super thin neck... may be the thinnest I've ever played.
Anyhow, only posted it to help someone out down the line perhaps.... THE WARRIOR style BARREL output jacks are wired hot down the middle, and ground on the outside.... quite backwards from normal output jacks...

The 250 will do, it will still be a wild pony.

Re: I'm starting a new guitar project.
I did rewire it today.... but the 500k was too shiny and not enough depth.... I wired the 250 back in... sounds just right. Now I believe I am friggin DONE wiring that thing..... ha ha ha I got a whole lot better at wiring from this project.

Re: I'm starting a new guitar project.
nice axe dude, i see you really enjoyed the killswitch didn't you?
that warrior really looks killer (pun intended) but it still feels like it's missin something, something at the fretboard, since stickers are not an option why not the same fabric method kramersteen used with his proyect fullmap guitar, well maybe not as extreme as kramersteen's build but just enough to add some color and evil to that fretboard

It would be rad to just rip out the old dots and replace them with red ones.

Re: I'm starting a new guitar project.
I could just drip blood on the fretboard too... It has crossed my mind. It won't bother these meat hooks to play it that way either lol.
What say y'all? Blood on the board too? Or other... I agree on the board looking...well...bored.

Re: I'm starting a new guitar project.
It wont last long without clear over it bro. Look at how dirty and destroyed a maple board gets and they usually have a thicker coat of clear.
I actually dont mind how it looks now, the white dots contrast the body rather well. It might be time to just shred the ****ery out of it,
