Help with Building a guitar, PRS project guitar – What electronics are needed?
I bought a PRS swamp ash body. I need 2 humbucker pickups, and 1 single coil.
Finding the pickups is the easy thing.
BUT, what do I need as far as electronics go? I thought it would be easy, but I see 250k and 500k pots. Wiring harnesses, switches, input jack…. what the heck. This is harder than I thought it would be.
Has anyone put together a guitar? What is a good brand of electronics I should look for? And am I missing anything? I’m trying to find good quality pots, but I see some that are regular sized, some are mini, some have long shafts… etc.
Please help. My guitar has 3 holes, one for Volume, one for Tone, and the last is for a switch, to switch between the 3 pickups… I left a picture example of the guitar, except my switch isn’t going to be a 5 way rotary switch.
