Gee, that sounds like it'd be a good title for a song, mayhaps from the likes of War, or Sly and the Family Stone, ca 1976. You sure you own the copyright on that? ;D

Much delays, but my guitar is together and awaits wiring for a preliminary check before final sanding and any design adjustments prior to painting. Yay! Here's a quick pic: I think I'll mod that neck pocket by cutting down the backplate and rounding things off nice down there. I've seen a few people do this and it seems like a good idea. Anyway... Ive just got a couple of further observations, wrt that StewMac 5-way. I think the way you have your lugs and wires laid out is right for that switch, if you shift the right side up and the left side down relative to each other, keeping the wires. Also, although you are connecting (with the red wire) to the pole on the right side, you are not really using that side of the switch, since the other lugs are not used. You could if you wish, miss out the wire diagonally across the switch and go just to the right side pole. Or, just use the left side and not the right side. Noted. I added some text to clarify the drawing did not represent the Stew Mac switch specifically. Just noticed another thing - you may be better to go straight from bridge pup red wire to the 5-way, and then use the pp switch to shunt the white wire to ground. That I think is nearer to how StewMac recommend it, to get the correct Hb coil working to combine with the middle. I'm not too sure about that. Is this the page you checked out? www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_pickups/Pickups:_Guitar,_electric/2/Golden_Age_Pickups/Instructions/I-GOLDEN-AGE.html#details I did see another example more like you are describing, but I think this link suggests the wiring is valid? (Since I fixed the switch diagram anyway.) Fixed, I think. Also fixed. Here's a revision: Sorry, with all the wire crossing, the diagram's getting a little crowded.
