wow Mick that looks stunning. Is this an ES-1GT with the trapeze tailpiece ? Think it is with the trapezoid fret markers look so much better than dot markers

Cheers mate, na this was a custom order. It's a standard ES-1G (hardtail) kit with the neck from the ES-1GT (trapezoid fret markers)
nice work Mick, wish I did that with my ES-1G. Dot markers just don't do it for me on G type axes
Finished polishing and have begun fitting the hardware :)
have also started to go crazy :D

love pics and work Mick
another ES builder that's going to need rehab to walk the streets safely again . hooking up the sparky bit's is enough to put you in a mental home hey Mick lol.....
Axe looks sMICKo though.
Your pics are always so nice to look at Mick. Don't leave that bridge on backwards though, makes the intonation screws really hard to get to. :)
Cheers mate, I guess you could call me a freelance photographer so I always feel like I have to put in a litter extra effort when I take a photo of anything (some call it OCD)Quote:

As for the bridge, yeah… the screws aren’t in the best spot for adjusting but the saddles are all correct (low E at the top and little e at the bottom) so that gets me thinking they were just put in all in reverse but I was reading in another thread the screws are supposed to be on that side which just makes no sense.
I am going to change all the saddles around though.
Oh yeah, how odd. I was setting up my mate's Maton Mastersound on the weekend and it's bridge has the screws facing the pickup like that. I had to fully detune the strings and remove them from the saddles to get at the screw, then adjust, then retune to check I got it right. Silly little design flaw.
I don't know what all you guys were talking about saying the wiring is hard to do!
In all honesty it took me about 10 mmins to get it all in just by droppping it all in and jambing my fingers in the F hole and popping them back up through.
It's strung up at the moment and I'll take some finised photos over the weekend :)
