This is the greatest post in this entire build off! :roflmao: :laugh: :roflmao:
 
Great. You probably just summoned a demon or something.

Once upon a time, yes. Although this is wholly a technology joke. It exploits how Unicode (the means by which our computers store, interpret and display characters and symbols for most languages) manages diacriticals and other symbol modifiers -- which is actually pretty neat but kind of complicated to get into here.

You can make your own! Look up "zalgo text generator". The canonical one is by Tchouky (some content on the page is NSFW), the one I used above is via Link Removed.

Well gang, I've made a great run at trying to finish this build. I made a good amount of progress today and assuming that nothing catastrophic happens, I should wrap it up tomorrow. :D

Today's progress was, however, interrupted by a family gathering... dang families anyhow...:bored: But, I got the wiring harness completed and installed.

Tuners installed.

Here's how I handled grounding the individual bridges...

I couldn't recall exactly where I had routed the ground wire channel, so I stuck a heavy wire in there and used some little magnets to locate it for me. I didn't want to dowse for it... might leave footprints. :D

Then I drill access holes, and pulled loops up with a little hook that I made from the heavy wire. I had to remove the black coating from the bottom of the bridges, but I have continuity. :thumbsup:

I have to string it up, complete the setup, take some pictures, record some sound (maybe) and get it posted before I completely run out of time. Nothing like coming down to the wire. :smug:
