Finally! Finally! Finally!
This is guitar news, not University news!
I bought a cool lefty guitar body back in 2001 and started working on it slowly because I don't know anything about electronics or wiring.
I built it the way I wanted a guitar tone-wise (bright), and I customized the switches where the three pickups are independent of one another, giving me a tone range that you cannot typically get from electric guitars.
When I thought I was finished, I started to play it and the sound kept cutting out. Well, seminary got in the way, I blew the tip of one of my fingers off in 2004 (it was fixed and you can't tell now), and general time contraints kept me from working on it.
I called a shop yesterday to schedule a time to drop it off, but this morning decided I would try and fix the wiring problem myself just in case.
I fixed it and the guitar rocks!
Oh man....
Here is a pictoral overview of the transformation.
I did everything myself except the machine work Lone Wolf Guitars in OKC did on the Floyd Rose Tremelo (making a righty into a lefty for me).
It is the guitar body on the right.
Before wiring, paint, etc.
And from today...

Looks cool.
You lefties can have it rough with guitars.
Mister, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings?
Mr. can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
If you're big star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride.
