It is just amazing. What a difference this bridge is over the kit one.
Hmmmmmmm. I may be venturing into expensive territory.

Yeah the Wilko compensated bridge is a nice piece of kit isn't it
Hmmm, non rattley wilkinson goodness.....noice.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Great!
It's quite cheap to make a big improvement over the standard kit items - Tonerider or other low cost replacement pups, Wilkinson hardware etc. But then you have to make a much bigger investment to get a noticeable improvement over that.
Though drilling the body for through-body stringing would probably be another cheap improvement you could do.
Guys. It is really really good!
Really!!
I feel like now I have a $700 guitar.
What a great feeling!

When you add up all the cost of the parts, and add in your effort, you probably do have a $700 guitar!
The combination of olympic white with black pick guard looks sharp! Love the headstock too! Did you shape it freehand or follow a plan?
