    Hey, everyone again! Decided to put my ES3-B4 into the ring. Came out pretty well, I think. Added Switchcraft parts, CTS pots, and Orange Drop caps. The bridge gave me trouble when I first put it on and split right down the center. Fixed it as well as I could...she plays really nice. By the way, her name is Rose (you know---long lost loves from a long time ago). Good luck to all the entrants. Once again I see some mighty fine guitars. Thanks Pit Bull!Click image for larger version.

    I missed a couple of entries, well done Fretty the 12 string looks great. Only negative I see is you should have got a blank pickguard (just the pickup holes cut) or got Pabs to cut you one. Have you plugged the hole where the volume usually goes ?
    Lipponen the TL-1TB looks very nice, well done
    Papaken the ES-4B looks like a cool build too. The standard of all the entries are all very good
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks

    no worries Fretty, well the look of the pickguard layout is original I'll give you that. What do the 2 x 3 way switches do in regard to pickup config ?

    Switch 1 gives LP style Bridge/Bridge + Neck/Neck and switch 2 is Middle/Middle + Switch1/Switch 1, so you get all seven combo's from just the two toggles.
