Thanks guys.
It is just about all together.
Wiring seems OK to a tap test.
Neck is glued and clamped.
Had one setback when the wire under the bridge post snapped off. I knocked up a jig to remove the post - not a lot of damage that will be covered by the bridge in any case.
So I need to wait for the glue to set, then I just have the pick guard and intonation.
Oh, then I need to actually gain some ability to play the darn thing :)
I'll update the piccies when the clamps come off.
I couldn't wait.
Still clamped.

stunner Rabbitz, that is gonna be a mean looking axe when finished. I got a LP-1M in the pile debating what colour to stain it. Thinking dark green or butterscotch DT - think you inspired me, Maybe a red/yellow sunburst
That second pic on the last page is going straight to the pool room.
I mean... the Facebook page.
Looking amazing!
DONE
Finally, painstakingly, slowly but done.

Well almost.
The bastard thing won't stay in tune, but no need to panic. It has only had tension on it for 24hrs and I am using the set up string set.
I'll give it a week or so, a fresh set of strings and then PANIC
:p
hey Rabbitz as you say don't panic the neck needs to set in. Also good tip to stretch the strings so they wind around the tuners really tight. It really needs to be played for several hours for the neck to settle in.
That looks fantastic Rabbitz!
Holy cow, the Ric in the background has a slight case of 'tail lift'!
She's a 35 or 40 year old Emperador - weighs an absolute ton.
Amazingly she has the "Stereo" output - not that it has ever been used in anger.
Love that color Rabbitz - you've done a great job with this one!
Looks superb mate, probably one of my favourite builds I've seen so far! Excellent job, now put this sucker in GoTM
