MIM strat pickups, 3 way switch that goes B-BN-N, then a 2 way switch that turns on the middle pickup so it goes bm-all-nm

I am having a bitch of a time with the hum though, if i run it straight to amp it isn't bad, but throw a compressor and fuzz on it and it is terrible. When i touch the strings it does solve some of it though, would that mean the bridge cup needs better grounding?

That is amazing. You have to send me copies of your templates. Did you have an original one to work from?

very beautiful man, if it plays even 25% as good as it looks it will be worth every penny.

i'm excited for you to get it, and for me to drive 3 hours to try it out.

Did you do the black blocks and binding on the jazzthingy? I am doing my homework on a project and was wondering what material to use for the blocks.

they were acrylic from paul, but he doesn't have any more. in hind sight, i would have just put stickers on the raw wood and cleared over them.
