GWARGHOUL is on a distinguished road
Default GAHHH! Everybody help please!

Ok, so I have a killer bc rich v comin my way for christmas, BUT

Been putting change into that 86' BC Rich STIII that NHSpike sent me on the front.

Nothing but problems since I started trying to make it run right.

Ok, so I got a cheap pickup on clearance on guitarfetish.com. Should sound like a hot rail. And it was $15.

I put it in. Got a Pickup ring and screws/springs... the bridge JB is drilled thru the screw holes, and won't thread. No big deal with nuts and washes I got it mounted to the body and got a pickup ring around it ( black brass)

So I clean up the neck (reallll goood), and clean and condition the fretboard and polish the fets equally well.

I was then in the mindset (ok, lets drop the tuners back in, string it and try your first setup in 6 years)...

Put in the last tuner and the shaft broke upon tightening the nut.

Its been one thing after another.

Here is where I need your help...

WHAT TUNERS WILL LINE UP WITH THE ORIGINAL SCREW HOLES?
These? http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/G...s.html#details

Stewmac is sooo expensive.

No? Then tell me. I don't want to give up... I have way too much energry and heart into this guitar.

Its got soul. Its a hella layer. I can tell.

Next issue... I need a truss rod cover.

Where can I find the bc rich one?

Other than that... its as clean as it'll get, has real straplocks on it now (marvels from guitar fetish)

I just need help wiring... mini hum at neck, sing mid, hum bridge... the mini hum same color code as duncan bridge... but the three mini-toggle switches and volume and tone knob trip me out.

Someone help me here.
