Sorry I meant blank is for shielding

@clinton Thanks for that! Though I do have a question, I forgot to mention I have a schaller hannes piezo bridge. I'm rather sure the red and black port is just for the piezo + & -, so it only lea...

@boo Yes it is cool, my last build had a piezo tune o matic and wired passive. Was not fully satisfied. Recently got a pre amp from tone monster. Solderless wiring harness. Had the same principle. Mad...

@clinton This is all really cool, I’d never heard of these kind of pickups before this conversation.

Hi Ok, I use tone monster harness that has the same principle of solderless wiring system. Keep in mind pick ups have different color coding based on the manafacturer. The yellow and red terminal ...

@clinton Thanks so much for the reply, I think I'm starting to make sense of this now. So you would wire it from the volume pots as oppose to from the pickup selector? What I'm stuck on is the preamp ...

Hi Ok, pick up hot to volume pot like normal whether you have tone pot connected with it or not. Outward wire hot on the middle terminal of the volume pot going to the solderless terminal ports of th...

I'm looking to get the flagship preamp, though I'm struggling how to wire it. @schwifty You lost me at “flagship preamp” I’m afraid. 🤣 Wiring/soldering etc is my worst skill in guitar buildi...

I made this a while ago @robin it works well and I agree with @darrenking that so long as the radius is slightly more acute than the fretboard, you don’t need to know the an exact radius. I just used ...

@boo I made this a while ago Thanks Boo, thats excellent. I'll be copying that soon. I was trying to use junk that I had lying around.

@robin They are easy to find on Amazon and you’ll need M8 bolts with washers and nuts.

@boo They are easy to find on Amazon Thats my bearings ordered, £3.99 from ebay for a set of 8.

@peebee I’ll have a think about it. Could be a very low cost CNC project. Regards Darren

Good to see @boo. Thanks @tv101 I’m always doing something no matter how down I get.

When I originally made this body, I was routing the neck pocket and the router tore off a big chunk of that pesky bit of wood in between the pocket and the neck pickup route (the perineum 🤣). ...

This Barncaster is finally getting finished off, it’s going to be a Christmas present for someone. I think I can just about get it ready and sell it to them just before Christmas. I made this Tele ty...

OK.... I've just found the 'mark all as read' button at the bottom of the page 😳

Good stuff Robin. These are often very expensive, I wonder if a good value fret bender could be a product for the shop?

@tv101 If you have one of the discs mounted in a slot, rather than a hole, you can reposition it so that you can bend different radiuses into the wire. More good advice Tony, the MkII version will b...
