Exciting stuff happening

All the parts for the pink strat are on order this weekend and are supposed to have shipped. I ordered a standard drop in 3-pickup kit and will re-wire and shield it later so i have some things to compare.

I'm about 1/2 way through re-wiring the Epi Les Paul with new pickups and push/pull pots. I dis-assembled it and shielded everything and have gotten all the wiring done that can be done outside the body. I recorded how it sounded original and will compare when I have it re-wired with some new recording of the same things.

Still haven't gotten any 9v batteries.

Big Things

Went to A1 parts and bought a pile of stuff built a runoffgroove.com ruby. Well sort of I put it all together and then discovered i didn't have any working 9V batteries. Or at least I don't think I did, the 9Vs I had wouldn't power anything else either. Funny I remember everything running on 9V when I was a kid and now it seems nothing does.

Finally got the Zebra Pickups, and am ordering the stuff for the pink strat now. But I can't do anything more till next week as I have to go out of town for the long weekend. Might be back on monday afternoon though and maybe put the zebras in the Epi. Maybe I'll even have some sound of a working Ruby.

The waiting is the hardest part!

Where are my parts!

I am starting to look into building a simple overdrive pedal just to do something and start getting some practice with my soldering.
