Definitely. That was the easiest guitar wiring job I have ever done. Soldering all the grounds to pots is a pain in the ass and super messy. I used to hate wiring guitars because of that alone.

I already posted this on facebook last week, but, to keep the thread going.....

It's a Stratocaster built from a Mighty Mite body and neck. The body is ash, the pickups are Dimarzio YJMs, Wilkinson 6 screw "vintage" trem, three way switch, Sperzel locking tuners...

It will be painted retina searing green, much to Eric's dismay.

It seemed like the only appropriate option. The rest of my guitars are very "tame" so I need a crazy one

Alright. So. My buddy is taking his sweet ass time painting that Stratocaster, and I'm kind of getting close to the "Breaking his fucking kneecaps" point.


So, I decided to get started on another guitar....my S7420. It's getting a lot of the same treatments.

Here is a shitty webcam pic.
