Hi everyone. Might as well put her in for GOTM.
Its a Pitbull TLA-1R kit with the following upgrades:
1. Grover mini-locking rotomatics;
2. Tonerider hot classics;
3. Gotoh neck plate;
4. Roller string trees;
5. Wilkinson compensated 3 saddle ash tray bridge (but with PBG intonation screws)
6. 3 ply scratch plate;
7. Abalone inlay dots;
8. Gotoh 'String thru Body' Bushing Set ;
9. Switchcraft 1/4" Mono Jack, CRL 3 way switch, Gotoh 250k Linear and Audio Taper Pots and Orange Drop Cap;
10. Dingotone custom colour "Rosewood", finished in Truoil.
I think that's everything.
