    Nut adjustment

    Just about finished my first kit, an EG175 ish copy. All has gone very well & i'm quite pleased with the result. I've gone through the setup procedure so frets, trussrod & intonation are all OK. I...

    getting there

    2 weeks later and about 15 coats of Tru Oil on the body, less on the neck. Rubbed it back with 000 steel wool & polished with gun stock wax. I'm now playing with the setup before I decide about...

    Hi Simon Looks like a PRail and a switch will cost almost as much as the original kit. I think i'll finish the build without the electrics and see how it sets up & plays. If it's good I can justify...

    Thanks Andyxlh, a hollow body jazz guitar had been on my list for a few years & I had been scouring Cash Convertors for a second hand one for some time. I'd never dreamed of going down this road and...

    Hi Juanitasanch,

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks for the advice, I wasn't aware of the P-Rails. I've had a look at the SDuncan videos & it looks like I would need a 4 way switch for a single PRail so i'm guessing some sort of...

    i've had this kit a few weeks now and only just realised that the body has a hole for a 3 way switch & a 3 way switch was included in the kit but, as a ES175 copy, the guitar has only a single...

    Started with some oil. Decided on Tru Oil in the end. 3 coats so far, several more to go but I think i'll try a light sand with some 1500 wet & dry before the 4th coat.

    Made a start!

    Did my dry run on Sunday and all looked good.
    I took a saw to my headstock and also repaired a ding in the bottom of the neck. Spent the rest of the day sanding and am now getting close to adding...
