    First Commission Build - Is A Super-Tele A Thing?

    https://www.tdpri.com/threads/alpha-3-way-switch-lug-config.1045841/ BTW: these are the cheap switches. I replaced the one in my import Strat, though I am sure some of these last for years.

    The body seems to have a Hamburglar between the pickups. Or maybe a raccoon.

    Winter Build-Off 2024: The Best Fretless Piezo Sustainer Humbucker Bass VI? "Dark Sister"

    If the preamp has 2mm connectors, the .100 inch spacing connectors are, as you noted, only 2 mils bigger. However, the pins themselves don't fit well. Get 2mm mating connectors and save yourself trouble. I found this out in my work.

    That buildoff caused me to become a long-term lurker in the LC. I remember this one. Nice bass! I hope the change improves your opinion of it.

    Not another Tele build! Yawn

    Disney now has the rights, so the latest episodes are on Disney + in the states. PS: nice woodgrain. I imagined a spider on it. It has a very spiderwebby appearance.
