(With apologies to Brian Wilson).I had this image on the vintage digital camera and must have missed uploading it earlier. Vhut ze heck ees zat?, choo say. Well, when we put screws into a hardwood like maple (which our neck is made of) it helps to put some wax on them the first time they're driven in. So I have a tea candle from one of those Ikea packages of 100 tea candles on the bench for times like these. So this is part of the process - get some wax onto the screw threads.
Looks like I'll need a new one soon - the wax is breaking up into a million (maybe just several hundred thousand) little pieces.
So, where are we?
Right right. Back to assembly.
One of the things I did in the interest of shielding and proper wiring was to create a star ground. You can see it here - just a ground tab screwed into the body - hard to tell from this picture, but it's just a little 'north' of the bridge pickup in the control cavity. I'll tie all the grounds - pickups, signal ground, and trem claw - to here.More coming up - I need to go get the pictures off the digital camera.
But first, a little digression into a semi-political mode. Seems the New President has managed to take $800 billion dollars in spending, wrap it up into a shiny new "stimulus" package. In said package, there are such items as a skateboard park, a Maglev railroad running from Disneyland to Las Vegas (I kid you not) and apparently millions to state governments to spend on their pet projects. So, whaddya think - is it too much for Yr Fthfl Blogger to ask for a lousy few grand to accomplish some of his pet projects outta da basement?
