Can't you read the title?  "Only one more week to go."

Same concept as "Free beer tomorrow!"  ;) ;D

Yes I have it now, collected it yesterday.

First impression "marvellous", just need some time to devote to it this weekend and I will post some clips. The single coiltap is brilliant

I'm curious !!!  :)

Hello Mr Curious  :)

There's one thing I forgot (dumbass) . I forgot to ask for the treble bleed capacitor and resistor on the volume pots to ensure it doesn't get muddy when rolling back the volume controls.  Anyway, I'll get the caps & resistor this weekend and do that bit myself, although it's  real pain to do owing to the push/pull on the back of the pots the only way to get to the tags is to remove them from the guitar. Anyway, a bit of patience with the soldering iron on saturday will sort that. I'll post some pics of the wiring too, really complex.

One of the nicest things with this wiring is that with the pickup selector toggle in the middle position, if you then roll one of the volumes completely off it does NOT silence the guitar like the normal wiring does, it simply cuts the volume for that pickup only.

The guy did a really nice job of the fret dress and setup too.  Incredibly low action now.

sounds good  8-)

How would you know??  ;)

Clips needed?  :)

I wish I knew ya needed caps; Jim at WCR offers some killer caps (I've got one of his caps in my PRS Custom 22 with some of his pots; killer stuff).  

Glad to hear you're enjoying the pups and wiring.  Jim makes some killer pups, especially for rock.  Just killer.  

Can't wait for clippage!  :)

Yeah, I had completely overlooked it. Not sure why I overlooked it as usually that's the first thing whenever I buy a guitar. I suppose I was so used to them being there I just took it for granted that they would be part of the new wiring set. Clips coming soon.
