    As far as that goes... I don't have any clue how to wire up the originals either. So either way ill have to figure it out. Apparently there is a guy here in town that does guitar repair and supposedly is really good. I think I'm gonna take them over to him and see what he can tell me/do for me.

    Ripper Copy Build

    Took the pickguard off today and found what I felt was a rats nest of wires but after a little help from a diagram that Andii Syckz sent me, it's really not all that bad. It will be pretty easy to get wired up back to normal. Now the problem is, finding pups. The originals are shot. Seymour...
