    G’day from Melbourne

    Hi all, glad to be part of this group.
    I have recently purchased the IB-7 for my first build.
    So far, I have made a few test samples of what I want to achieve with the look of the guitar. I’m doing a black burst and, being a spray painter having dabbled in wood paint, I’m quite confident in making the guitar look good.
    I am a little unsure with the wiring and making sure I can get the neck and floyd rose adjusted right. But I guess that’s why i’m here. Anyway looking forward to your feed back and help along the way.
    Cheers🎸

    Welcome Aboard. Bit of Melbournite influx going on! The electronics aren't really very scary, there is lots of help available here. Once you get your head around how it works there isn't much to it. I can't speak for the Floyd Rose setup, might have to get that on my next kit to fill the knowledge gap.....

    Welcome along mate - sounds like you've got the finish sorted. Wiring's not that hard - just take your time.
