One question about the Sims pickups. I read that the battery was just for the LEDs on the pickups. Would you still be able to see what had been selected at each pickup by looking at the switch if the battery went flat, for example?

You've got to admit... he's pushing the envelope.

For the first part of your question; There is a fair bit of instruction within these build diaries. You get posts from members with rudimentary skills all the way up to pro luthiers. Time would be well spent here. YouTube, of course, is another great resource. Parts rarely fit together straight from the factory so some amount of fitting is involved when buying loaded bodies and neck sub assemblies. For the second part; You can start out simple with a kit. I did this and learned a lot from the process. It will almost certainly give you a thirst for more. From there you can go as far as your ambition takes you given access to good timber and tools, either hand or machine. There's plenty of scope for creativity. It's not quite like Meccano but, as mentioned in the first part, it is possible to get playable results from off the shelf items with a little bit of fettling. I wish you a lot of joy with it.

Welcome Rob.

Four year old thread resurrected for this? Unfollowing.

Welcome Nobbie.

I don't suppose you'd have all three together...?

I like that a LOT. Especially if you have a Don't Panic sticker made up for it.

Paging the resident mathematician from the DoI; @leftybassman392...

You would have to call yourself Deep Thought. It'd put you at increased risk of typo related throat injuries however.

They're lovely pieces of engineering. @Hellzero sold me a set of six individual ones. Instead of a headpiece I have six individual clamps. I'm hoping to use these on a build with a nice MTD five string MM type pickup that @owen kindly gave me.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't want to pry but I imagine that there would be prohibitive costs to changing it now anyway. I only wanted to wind you up. Job done by the look of it.

I have a cheap fix...

The letter spacing looks better on those now. But why are the letters A and O back to front and the letter C upside down to that on the site logo? I won't mention the redundant full stop. (Oops)

As a Derby resident I would have to agree. Keep the Ram.

Welcome Andy.

Welcome Stevie.

I've got one of those in mine too.

I've combined the body of an Encore P with a Yamaha neck. My YamaCore.

Welcome Cliffy.

Owen was having a clearout and sent me a generous package of spares for the price of postage. He even threw in a couple of extras. Once again, it was a pleasure to deal with him.
