Later this week I'm getting copper foil to shield the cavity with all the electronics in order to eliminate some hum I'm expecting to encounter. We have also decided on putting the battery under the pickguard between the neck and middle pickups. It fits perfect there.

Starting the soddering tonite!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/paged/2/#post-181500 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/paged/2/#post-180869 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 05:44:46 +0000
Everything looks good, exept for the tone caps I got. I think I got the wrong size. His site says to buy .047uf tone caps for strat/tele and .022 for les paul. But the .047uf tone caps are enormous compared to the ceramic disks that came in the rewire kit.

Here a comparison, the .047uf on the left, the .022 on the right.

Also, My trem arm is in. How do I install it. Its threaded, but I don't want to do anything because I don't know what to do. I'm going to get help hopefully from my neighbor when it comes to wiring and sodering. He has put together kits and stuff before, so he knows what going on their. Plus the instructions are pretty good, there isn't much confusion over all that. All I need to get is new wire, the old stuff didn't hold up well, so I'm not going to waste my time with it again.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/paged/2/#post-180869 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/paged/2/#post-180044 Tue, 30 May 2006 07:10:18 +0000 http://store.guitarfetish.com/onsexcimatou.html - for the circuit. Can't wait to wip out the sodder on these.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/paged/2/#post-180044 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/paged/2/#post-179850 Mon, 29 May 2006 17:26:49 +0000

Went out for dinner with the familly, going to have to order everything tommorow. At least somethings finished, and I have all the funds required for the 40 dollar bill from guitar fetish.

Hope everyone likes the paint. If not, don't use testor's black pearl spray, cause this is what its going to look like. Also, before I got this second coat I took half the first coat off with 150. Got rid of all the bubbles. Second Time I help the paint can up a foot higher, no more bubbles.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-strat-fixup/#post-179392
