Thanks, I’ll definitely do test pieces.

Thanks. It will be in the summer sometime, I’ll post pics, good or bad! This is a learning experience for me. I will document the finish schedule with list of products I end up using.

Thanks Eric

Thanks to all, particularly “Pullshocks” for sharing his research work. Also, Freeman you guessed correctly on the burst that I was thinking about. I will check with StewMac, I think they sell color tone dyes. This work will need to wait until the weather warms up and without the humidity as I...

Thanks Peegoo.

Appreciate everyone’s input…Thank you. My first attempt (2 years ago)on staining was indeed blotchy, and a green hue as was stated. Frustrated, I sanded it off and the body has sat until I got motivated to try again. This incidently is the recent build where I questioned the pickup wiring...

Planning to use dye, for a burst on poplar. I’ve read a lot of contradictory info on the correct way to approach this task. Very confusing! I’m thinking using the dye first, then watco danish oil ( to make the grain pop), thin coat of sand and sealer then lacquer several coats. Anyone have...

Wired up the tele today per your diagram and advise. Sounds really good, very pleased with the outcome. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated!

I would like to try this as well, I have a4?way switch laying around. Do you have a diagram of whatthis circuit looks like? I have a variety of components to mix and match. There is something appealing of running the low output neck pup (SD antiquity)directly to the switch. I am definitely...

Thank you, I appreciate everyone’s input. What a great forum!

Thanks for your input old picker, I’ve got time on my hands, this another option I I’ll try!

Thankyou!

Thanks, yes. Much appreciated. I got an idea to go with separate volume controls to see if I could “blend” both pickups, thus the recent inquiry using two (sets) of concentric pots. PeeGoo posted a Gibson wiring diagram (much appreciated) I will try this out and determine if this is the way to...

Forgot to mention, I’m using a 3 way switch..

I’m building a tele with a humbucker Sd antiquity neck pu,and a twang king single coil bridge. Do I use one ganged concentric pot for both pups(500 for the neck, 250 for the bridge to handle volume) and then use the other concentric pot to control tone for both pickups. 500k portion for the...

There is no limit to your kindness.😀 Thanks for the offer, but I’ll quietly suffer with the annoyance of the protruding side dots.

I stumbled on this thread, trying to get a suggestion on how to remove zirconium side dots on a tele neck? The issue is they are protruding slightly and somewhat annoying. I think the zirconium may be difficult to drill… any thoughts?

Got it! Thanks for helping me out.

Another question, this is a thinline style tele, F hole, I made the pickguard out of walnut veneer layers…that said there is no metal plate used to Mount the pots, etc..I-have a wire to connect the pots together. Do I connect the tan ground wire from the D’Marzzio to the ground on one of the...

Peegoo Much appreciated.

I need a wiring diagram for a Seymour Duncan antiquity humbucker in the neck and a D’Marzzio single coil in the bridge. 1 500 K volume pot, 1 250 k tone pot, 3 way switch. The antiquity pup has a hot (black) and ground/shield. The D’Marzzio has a white ( hot), black wire and a thinner tan wire...
