Awesome project! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Thanks bud. My sons done most of the work on this one, going to wind the p90 for it on the weekend

Wound a P90 for the les paul jnr build

Nice! Have you measured resistance yet?

Yep, it’s 7.7k 9500 winds.

Made the boy child do it, he seems to have a good attention to detail

MKIV point to point. Still deciding on transistors.... they all sound good, it’s hard to choose a flavour. I have a mix of OC45, OC75, OC76 CV7007 & maybe a few Russians

First MKIV build for me. I had one years ago and gave it away as I didn’t like it. Pre-internet days, so didn’t have any idea it might be worth something one day. Not sure what was wrong with it - the one on the bench leaves it for dead.

^ Looking good.

Nice! I really want to try winding my own pickup at some point. I might experiment with one of the many ones I’ve got stuffed in a drawer.

This thing....
Bulb flashes and I get a high pitch squeal with the "tremulant" engaged, not much else
Itching to start working on it

Is it a univibe type effect?

Not sure, hope so though.
So far I've only replaced some dead/drifted electrolytics which cured the squeal and its now producing some swirling sounds on the low notes at least.
Will have to look into the circuitry in more detail when I have some more time
