Les Paul build... Advice?
PostPosted:Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:17 pm
So while on my daily ebay adventure i found a gutted les paul for a reasonable price... I understand some here will say "just get a strat" and do it that way and i already have. i just want to try something new .... HERES THE PLAN
1. Route for a middle pick up
2. Drill for OBEL (switches and all)
And here is where i get stuck... Im going to have 4 holes for volume/tone pots... This is where i would think the possibilities are endless but seeing as how I know NOTHING about wiring what do you think would be the best lay out for 4 pots would be? I am thinking 1 master and a tone knob for each pup but i really dont know...
Also pick up selector... Im going to have to go with a 5 way rotary switch and this is where i need some advice and a good point in the right direction... Is stewmac a good place for one and HOW do i wire the thing...
then with the obvious of coil taps
as well as a waldo buffer in there....
so the question(s) is...
1. Is this possible
2. Is this worth it?
3. When i buy a UGB off of waldo would he send me a schematic for this operation as well? (maybe thats a question for him)
Thanks all and i will keep everyone updated
