Cool, how much did all those parts cost you? :)

Shaun

about 130 :D

ESP 348

about 130 :D

Cool, cheap. :D

Shaun

yep, those actives have gotten some really good reviews and are said to be close sounding to Emgs. not bad for 30 a piece

Pushead

Can you post a link to your pots? The "long shaft" part concerns me. In my experience the longer pots are for Les Paul style guitars.

Pushead

Those look right. Just wanted to check & see. Easier to change the order before they ship than it is to return the wrong ones.

Shaun

gotcha.
I did my research.

Shaun

So to finish this thing off, Im going to use McGuires ultimate polish. and probably use a drill attachment for a buffer/polisher. any tips/ what to use/do on polishing or buffing? anything helps!

Shaun

his right eye is barely on the pickup as to the other eye is almost all on the pickup..not centered

and Thanks :D

Shaun

Thanks strngthbyndstrngth!
is there any way you could do inlay decals for this? the only good quality inlay decals on ebay are inaccurate. and I want it to be virtually accurate to kirks

Shaun

also, I emailed you a few times a long time ago without a reply. I think I got it mostly figured out. but still have one question. how coats of clear on the body do you recommend? Ive got like 3 on right now, not nearly enough..but I want to know when to stop. Also, what should I use to polish it? and do you wax yours?

exhibit-sbt

3 coats isn't nearly enough..? I personally never go over 2 on guitars. Usually the second one is only after I color sanded the first as well.

Shaun

Okay guys question.
I will put 2 knobs in this guitar. Obviously.
But i was thinking..since i never use the tone knob, like EVER, is it okay to make it 2 vol and no tone?..is that FROWNED apon by the guitar police?...

I don't know what's the real configuration on Kirk's Mummy, and yes, I wanna know that too.

Aren't James' MX's usually 2 vol, no tone?

I think im just going to do normal 1vol 1 tone.
Because besides the fact that i never use the tone knob, i dont really have the need for seperate volume controls..so im goin 1 volume 1 tone.

Shaun

Kh-2s as well as all the KH guitars do have 2 vol 1 tone yes.
But Kirks Mummy has 2 knobs. most likely a volume and tone,
So i think I'll just take the normal road and do that

Shaun
