Lookin' purtier already. ;)
Forgot to add a ground wire (flippin' idiot) but I managed to remove the bush, insert the wire, and replace the bush with minimal hassles. All told, it was a success.

Then, the problem. Being a tune-o-matic means the neck would need relief, something it doesn't have. So, it was shim time. The neck also has some serious bow in the wrong direction, but I'm sure some of that will be rectified by full string tension and a truss adjustment.

Now I'm just waiting on a nut to finish this baby. Oh yeah!
Wicked. Almost there!
Woohoo! Looking great man.
Just gets epicer and epicer. If that's even a word
looking awesome Brodie and almost there. That photo close to the nut looks like its got a locking nut ? What style replacement nut are you using ? Looks like the black nut in the photo was the reason the strings were so high close to the nut
I don't normally like yellow, but I like this! Well done.
