Here are some pictures of my bender. Pretty simple. just a few bearings washers and bolts.

I think I finally got it. Let me know if you try it out.

Maybe someone can double check my work (and point me towards a better paint program).
EDIT: I second guessed myself and deleted the post, then third guessed and I think it’s ok. No refunds if it isn’t.
EDIT EDIT: on 4th look it won’t work. Now I’m not sure that switch will get you what you want. This puzzle is going to haunt me all weekend. -
Some things I keep in mind when trying to figure out a switching scheme. If you want access to each coil in each humbucker then all the leads need to either be “lifted” (have there own switch tabs) or if using the typical humbucker wiring, ie red and white together on a Seymour, then you’ll need to be able to tap it and reverse the phase at the same time. Since you have a super switch, each coil can have it’s own pole and be “lifted”. Just follow the signal like it’s plumbing, water in water out.
If no one else replies with a schematic I’ll do one as soon as I sober up on Monday or tuesday.

You do want stainless to be close to your radius, if just a bit tighter to ensure the ends stay down. It’s a good idea to either buy or make your own fret bender. I made mine for maybe $10-$15 with a few roller bearings, washers, bolts, a window crank, and a scrap peice of wood.
Once you have a bender you can bend some length to a particular radius, cut it off the stick, change the radius as needed, bend more, etc.
I refretted a fanned fret 8 string in stainless last week and while it’s impractical to customize each fret I just bent enough wire to cover a few frets at a time. Worked just fine.

My notifications seem to disappear before I can see them. I’m also unable to accept connection requests. When clicking on the request from my profile drop down menu it takes me to a blank page (though the site header is still at the top). Same blank page when clicking on the All Members link.

Good news, the pickup is no longer a microphone. Held up fine to potting. I’d post the before and after tests of me screaming into the pickup while plugged into an amp but you’ve all been there and done that.

So I was installing Evertunes back in Denver decades ago. Now I’m back at it here in Montreal for the foreseeable centuries. Not much content to speak of but well, it’s proof I exist and will always exist.

Are you trying to test for signal to make sure it works before installing it? If you have a spare quick connect clip you can wire in a battery clip and output jack, then ring a tuning fork over it with the jack plugged into a tuner or amp.

Tried with Chrome desktop and it works fine there.

I guess I misunderstood the topic, I’m on my desktop with Edge.
