Well, hackworth1, you have really done some splendid work there.

That is absolutely beautiful.

Semie would be proud, though he would have tried to put the pickguard on with just three screws!!!

Correction: The bridge saddles are not steel. They are chrome plated pot metal.

Using Seymour Duncan's wiring diagram for Hot Rails - a two pup-four wire per pup, coil shunting plan - I wired the two BezDez mini humbuckers, 500k push pull pots, a .039uF cap, and the three way Gibby type switch. It's got choice of all coils on, One coil off for each pickup, the other coil off for each pup, in Series and parallel circuits.

The series circuit is the loudest, then, parallel with all coils on, then coil taps are a bit quieter. The guitar sounds great and it has a lot of versatility.

Thanks for your compliments, all.
