Hello + Poll

[fatcatthebassist]

Hello! I'm fairly new to building, and I thought a kit would be a good first bet. I ordered a custom RCM-4QF (I guess it'd be... Quilted Maple over Mahogany with a Fretless neck?) in early July and was delighted to have it on my doorstep.

Now, here's the problem. I expected it to arrive next week, so I haven't got any finishing supplies.

In the poll below, please indicate your vote for how I should finish it.



(also, I actually have no idea how to make a poll using this forum stuff, so I guess just comment)

-'Jetglo' - Jet black
-Tobacco Burst
-Natural

if I didn't vote black many people would think my account had been hacked.

C'mon Deddy, haven't we seen enough black ones of these? They do look good in other colours too hence why I voted Tobacco Burst.

-Tobacco Burst!

I bought a legit rickenbacker pickup (pictured left).

Black for me.

Other here have used the authentic bridge and found that they needed to route below it to lower the action. Make sure you do a full mock up first and test the alignment and action in case you need to do likewise.

I'll check with hipshot on that.
