Mocked Up

 

Knocked up and mocked up project update: After a bit of time sorting out the body work and the neck bolts, this somewhat damaged Telecaster shaped Punkicaster is starting to take shape. I'm going with a single P90 pickup, hard tail bridge and simple as toasted cheese electrics. I've tried complicated set ups before, Gilmour switches, treble bleed mods and coil taps etc. and nice as these things are I really can't be arsed. So it's back to basics. Just letting the second coat of varnish dry and onto the next set of problems. The neck and frets might take a bit of time to get anything remotely close to being correct. Strangely the intonation was/is bang on.

Here's the "simple as toasted cheese" wiring diagram and there's no doubt, it's very simple. However I know it'll end up in a trial and error mess of soldering and trying to figure why there's only silence or why there's only crackle before I finally get to the bit where some sort of audible guitar sound is produced. At that wonderful point in the proceedings I'll be surprised but also strangely satisfied. This is mostly how I live my life.
