I have NOS switchcraft neck selector switches for anyone who needs to replace a busted one. These are for Professionals and early Pro II and early model type shobuds(possibly other early brands). See the "for sale" section to see price-----------

Here's the wiring diagram for the neck selector switch, for guitars with coiltap switches.

Here's the diagram for regular 2 wire pickups.

Here's my version of a modified puller for ROUND CROSS-SHAFT. Had a request for this mod, to lend a little more versatility for tuning/timing pulls. The 5 holes are for 1/8" pullrods and clip, like the super pro era 'buds. These prototypes are one piece and made out of steel, but we will soon make them out of aluminum. But then again, we are all used to steel two-hole pullers, so steel may be the way to go, huh?

James, you are tireless! Another amazing innovation.

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 9 Aug 2010 8:25 pm

The idea was passed on to me from Memphis Slim.

Thanks for the washer for my Pro II pedals, James.

I don't know anywhere else I could have found one.

James,

That's sure some Outstanding work you do........

I received my levers in the mail today. Great work. These levers are going to put syle in my Fender-Sho Bud. My only disappointment and this isn't an issue of the craftsman. " That was a lotta money for such a little box." I think the same thing at the store. Mightjust be me.

James Morehead · Post by **James Morehead** » 13 Sep 2010 6:24 am

No Problem, Robert, I'll use a bigger box next time.

Glad the parts are working out well for you!!

Don, Thanx for the kind words.

After many, many hours of sanding, polishing, tlc etc. I have finished the refurb of my '73 LDG.
When I bought this LDG about a year ago it needed a lot of work and I was so happy when one of the forum members gave me the email address of James Morehead.
To make a long story short, James supplied all of the parts that needed to be replaced.
More important was James' help in refurbing this LDG.
I've been playing guitar for about 40 years, but I'm a rookie when it comes to playing and refurbing a psg.
Since I live in the Netherlands and couldn't find any local help it was great to have James help me with the refurb.
Even before I started buying parts from James he sent me many emails explaining how to do the refurb.
Every other week I got a phone call from James asking me about the progress of the refurb and he sent me pics of what things should look like.
If it wouldn't have been for James (and Tree) I probably would now be selling a very worn LDG or an LDG in parts...
I am very excited about the result and wanted to share this with you.

Here are 2 before pics :

Wow Gerard, that is beautiful! Nice job. I like to assemble Fender type guitars and refinish but I think I'm going to find a basket case PSG for my next project. Those parts do something to me.
