Oh. The other problem was that the control cavity was too shallow for the 3 Way pickup switch. This guitar is 1 3/4" thick. The switch is 1 3/8" tall.


The ferris wheel looking thing in back.

I had stopped at 7/8" deep for the cavities. So I got to try out my new plunge router.


It has cool depth stop features, but no light.


I needed another half inch under where the switch goes. The pickups and knob pots should be ok. We'll see. But I only routed the area where the switch goes for now.

Fits in there nice now.



These controls are by a company called 920D. They recreate iconic sounds by artists. This one is the Jimi Hendrix 60's set up. His original sound as wired by so and so. They have a pencil drawing of the design, presumably drawn by the guy who set his guitars up back then.



I can hear Jimi
