Segway's YB-4

[S.W.A.M]

I know it;s been a while since the last post so here's an update:

• I've finished the staining and finishing (body 2 stain, 2 intensifying, 2 final all bushfire sunrise. Neck 2 stain, 2 final)
• I've done all the wiring and shielding
• Installed pickups and output jack
• Installed back cover
• Installed tuners

I am getting the back plate (the one that's used for screwing in the neck) engraved and will put that the bridge on soon.

Looking really nice. Can I take it that the black 1/4 circle line on the far left isn't a mark on the body?

Good pick Simon - looks like an earthing wire for the bridge when it's installed.

[Simon Barden]

Oh, of course, yes! I should have put 2+2 together. It simply didn't register that there was no bridge on it at all as it looked so complete. D'oh!

Attached the neck fitted the bridge and re-did on of the solders and now it's basically done. Just gonna sort out the intonation and action on Monday w my guitar teacher. Here's the final specs

• Stock pickups and electrionics

• aftermarket bridge
• sandblasted neck plate
• dingo ton bushfire sunrise body (2 coats of each coat)
• Mission beach neck (1 coat mission then on mission beach bs mix then two final coats)
