Pablos EX-1

sounds good Pabs, you may need some bushes for the centre hole where the switch goes where a pot will now go.
Just saw the gap in the neck pocket, he really botched setting the neck !!
Good luck removing it

Did I just say that?

Pabs, I think your missus has been hacking your login!

I really love off-white explorers with black guards.

Hey, I feel the same about my LP, first build which I know I could have done better.... But now it is sitting in the workshop still awaiting a rebuild :D

Don't be afraid of revisiting your first. I'll admit my tl1 wasn't perfect from the get go, but after refinishing the neck, sorting the frets, rewiring at least three times and adding a bone nut it was pretty close. The fat c shaped neck was never going away though, using a strat neck on my next tele.

haha yeah Pabs its not a bad idea. I might refinish my first PBG build EX-1 I did in a clear coat. Wasn't much grain in the basswood but at the time I was happy with it

Chuck another one on the pile, hey Woks? Haha.

haha yeah Pabs that will be a while off - I got a pile of about 8 kits untouched I will start when I clear the ones hanging in the workshop. I could spend 12 months easy upgrading and fixing up my earlier builds

well, if you won't paint it... chrome all the way

Stripping this thing down has revealed a few oddities. Missing and odd screws, mismatched components, randomly placed copper shielding and a flawless, tidy wiring job.

Naked.

Then I very carefully (totally recklessly) removed the neck and went roughly over it with some 80 grit to get rid of the finish.
