I did the wiring on the guitar. I never get it right the first time. In this case it’s kinda good.

The original pickup selector switch was a mini toggle switch and I bought a new one to replace it. The wiring for them is really weird and the switch is small. I decided to replace the switch with a toggle like is used on a Les Paul. That means I need a bigger hole!

I used a wiring diagram from the excellent Seymour Duncan website. They provide wiring diagrams in the style of the old paperclip in word.

The new toggle works but it’s silver, too silver. I wanted a black one to match the rest of the hardware. Amazon to the rescue.

A couple days later I get the black switch and finish the wiring. It’s kind of a mess and I’m not proud of it, but it seems to work. The kill switch even lights up!

The to do list is getting smaller!

• Logo and clear the headstock after the Royal Canadian Mounties deliver it
• Reduce thickness of pickup rings (they are too thick)
• Strap buttons
• String and a setup
• Truss rod cover
• Control cavity cover
• Tremolo cavity cover

Ok, that’s a big list still
