I doubt whether the reversed bridge pup will make much difference to the sound, which side was the wire exiting the pickup, on the control cavity side or opposite ?

Thanks that's the reason i built it, couldn't find a commercially available green lp with maple frets.

The pup wires were on the right side of the cavity i think the mixup happened when i was putting the ring on i guess.

sure Joe, the bridge pup wire wouldn't be long enough if it exited the opposite side of the control cavity.
Now it's finished must be time for a video/sound demo ?

There is a rough setup video in my build diary and in the designated forum section, she's currently at the guitar tec's house getting her nut slots filed and frets straightened.

That sounded a bit dirty

Hi all, my name is Michael, i would like to thank Pitbull for giving me the opportunity of the first guitar i've ever built(it was made around july last year) the attached picture is my 7 string exotic ash explorer, hand carved and finished by me, it's my first project so i didn't expect to make it perfect e.g the carvings are abit off on some area, and the finish is alittle messy. Anyway i'd like to enter the competition for build of the month, and i'm looking at possibly purchasing another kit soon for my second project, for my next build i would like to request a 6 string ash explorer with ebony fret board, block inlays, les paul custom type binding on body and binding on fret board, and a floyd rose original trem with locking nut, i could source my own hardware as long as the cavities are cut.
