    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    Thanks. The action setup went very well, no problems with the bridge or frets. Also, I used some copper tape in the main electronics area and in the cutout for the Humbucher pickup. I also grounded the copper tape to the main ground, no buzzing at all. Plays quite well. Looking forward to using it on stage in a few weeks.

    Thanks Andy. It was a good exercise to see if I would stay interested in continuing to build these guitars. I believe I am officially hooked! Thank goodness for Christmas money from the in laws. Have a great New Year!
