Rumple Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 [quote name='henry norton' post='1329758' date='Aug 6 2011, 11:52 AM']Holy Mothers! that looks fantastic. I'd be well impressed with that on any level but knowing I had a bit of an input makes me feel right proud The finishers have done a nice job too - bursts are difficult to do at the best of times but black on white is one of the trickiest to get right. You must be well pleased.[/quote] Cheers it is a bit special you underplay your involvement though, it was crucial, without a excellent neck that fitted perfectly it would have been pointless taking the build all the way to completion.

Rumple Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Took another pic today on request to show the neck off and thought I would share it for those interested. [attachment=86564:P1010915_LHB_vlr.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumple Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Little update: Last night a mate and I re worked the wiring using the old Varitone plate but replacing the Varitone element with a standard tone pot and changing the switches with a couple of better quality ones. So now it's wired: Standard VVT 250k pots with an Series/Parallel switch and an On/Off switch that cuts the output to the jack. Sounds pretty good and the S1 style switch bring an added thump to the normal Jazz tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
