brddg Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Did a refin on my chaparral custom and will be puttin her together this weekend. Over several years I’ve accumulated original knobs and cavity covers and a set of slammer pickups as well as one needed 3-way switch (replacements available?) However, I’ve not been able to access the wiring diagrams here if anyone can help me out. also may be looking for some original obl pickups for it as of now I also have a matching set of what I believe are period correct EMG gold logos. That may not be a bad route to take either. Opinions welcome. Lay ‘em on me (I asked for it) and thanks HFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brddg Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 It’s an ‘86. Will definitely post pics when together and presentable. Don’t hate me for it but I went with a non original color at the last minute. I’m not trying to fool anyone with it and had been playing around with a new mica the day before. Plus I have no blue guitars in the stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share some pics plz! As one who has refinished a few Hamers and received a few of those stabs , I can tell you it's all good. In the end, if you're happy with the way it looks and plays, then what people say really is insignificant. What matters is that you are happy.

I'd imagine so, since the pots are 25k, but others with more knowledge can chime in on if that's definite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't happen to have a schematic for the SPC unit in there, would you? I have one that is missing a part... Oh, and blue guitars do sound better....

brddg Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Finished. Albeit delayed for some things I was unhappy with. So now plays great feels great sounds great and looks great. The camera doesn’t do this color justice. And I forgot to put the whammywhangolo bar in there but you get the picture. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
