all i lack is getting the headstock painted .

for anyone considering a custom project , it is ok if you plan it right , however if you dont it can be a huge pain in the ass and end up costing a lot more then you want it to .

i ended up getting both the neck and body from chris woods

he is a cool dude and his stuff is very high quality .


the big red button is wired to turn on/off the neck led lights .

Cool!

Custom is the way to go. I love it.

i'd replace the killswitch, otherwise nice. I have done one myself and it was more than buying a jem

It's not a killswitch. It's for turning the neck LEDs on and off. Please refer to the original post.

dual emg 85s .


as for the big red button. it was really the only thing radio shack had that would work the way i wanted to but to be honest it wouldn't have been my first pick to have .

[screamndemon69]

is it wired as momentary?

use a push pull pot, jordan. stewmac has them in 25k for around $10-15. it's more useful, too.
