"It's ALIIIIIIIVE"
So here we are again, 18 months later (almost to the day) and, I'm
proud to say, Project 0001 is complete... ish.
There's a couple of things I still need to tweak; like fixing the
wiring to give me series/parallel switching of the middle pickup and
adding the round string tree. Other than that, it's all done:

The shielding appears to be working well; I played it through a V-Amp
and headphones last night with nary a hum to be heard - even though we
have two dimmer switches downstairs.
Next project - a 60's makeover for an early 90's Squier
Stratocaster... I'm thinking Sonic Blue with mint pickguard and tinted
neck.. I may even be tempted to have a go at relicing :-)
Cheers,
Ross.

Well for relicing you'll need to finish it in nitrocellulose.
Shall I bring it to Buxton? (My treat)
Cheers,

Cheers Graze,
I'm pretty happy with it, and am looking forward to road-testing it
this weekend :-)
