I am...
Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.
@wokka, the fret markers were stock. The neck I received in this kit was just unbelievable in every way.
I thought I might as well enter it.
Here is my ESB-4SC.
All stock except for the insulated wire, orange caps, flatwound strings and the Trust rod cover.
Finished in black Keda dye and True...
Thank you DM!
i am very happy with it. Can't wait to give her a whirl with a full band!
Hi guys,

With the floating bridge down to its lowest settings I measured the string heights. Here are the measurements:
Hi Weirdbits,
Thank you again for your advice.
I have set my straight edge in the middle of the neck running from the 1st fret to 15th frets and 12th to 22nd frets and there appears to be...
WeirdBits thank you again for the suggestions.
I have had a look at the few things you suggested. I tested the neck fit with some paper bits as you recommended and I can say that they did not move...
Thank you weirdbits. I will go through all your suggestions and see where I am at.
I did check number 2 and this is when the string height measurement were taken.(not necessarily when pictures were...
As weirdbits mentioned there is a but I think it is purely cosmetic and does not really bother me.

There was very little progress made before and during Christmas which was frustrating but we are back on.
The wiring was done and tested with 2...
Great looking finish. that's amazing!
same questions as gavin what pickups did you put in that bad boy and were the mounting rings coming with them or did you get them separately?
Thanks Weirdbits!!! That makes a lot of sense. So I redid the entire wiring and to my surprise it worked. I am really chuffed about that.
The TO coats are still going on. It's getting there really...
Wow Life does get a happy of getting in the way. There has been very little progress on the build. Still a few coats away on the top from polishing. Getting there.
Weirdbits it took me a little...
Hi Scott!
Thank you so much. That makes so much more sense for me.
That works for me perfectly! Thank you
What do you mean by that?
That's an awesome guitar. What a gift! What a dad! My hat's off to you sir!
Hi weirdbits,
Thank you for your offer. That would be super helpful.
Thank you

It looks like I might have to start from scratch. Which is ok as I kinda...
I started on the wiring a little bit.
I don't think that I have used a soldering iron in 25 years. So it was a little bit daunting.
I went with the Master tone, Master volume and Neck and Bridge...
Looking good Gavin. I am thinking of picking one of these baby up once I finish my first build.
Good luck
