Yeah, I've seen listings for those purple Rics… and purple circuit boards are always nice… and black & purple is pretty classic!

So after a very long wait, my guitar will arrive tomorrow. (barring any mixup, breakage or other silly stuff)
I don't usually post my guitars but this time I thought maybe you might want to see it. It's a Notacaster (?) I ordered it about 10 months ago and it came out mostly how I wanted, maybe a bit too much relic but if I can't get used to it, it can always get repainted.
Big thrills on it are - jaguar pickup behind bridge, all mastery tailpiece and trem - hand carved neck

How are the electronics wired on that thing?

I surrendered to a whim I've had for a few months and started acquiring toys for an electronica (ok, it'll be warped by my usual perspective) album.
It HAD TO BE PURPLE.
Forgot how much I hate programming 303s but the PC host program makes it less painful (and the random feature is grand in the hardware).
It's cheap and it's purple, can't argue with that.

As I come to find… in a word poorly.
I have beengoing back and forth with thebuilder and I am waiting to resolve
So far - he didn’t shield it.
Btb pickup rollercontrols are miss wired and not only increase hum but suck treble.
Depending on how it works out I may or may not keep it.
Good things I can say frets are perfect, neck is perfect.
So time will tell.
If i do keep it I will update as the pickups will need rewiring.
