ST-1JR Build - May the Force be with???

Fred, the force is strong in this build. Great work man, I can't wait to see it buttoned up and running!

And here we go with the shielding.

Another guitar that should stay free of snails and slugs with all that copper tape! [emoji1]

So you've got your shields up. Time to fit the tractor beam? ;)

Not sure the teactor beam will fit! And I'm still looking for the Death Star plans!!!

And here we go, all the bits are together now and strings are on:

I've plugged it in and it all seems to work as expected.
I haven't set the bone nut height yet, and no intonation is done, so sounds pretty average, but I'm going to let the strings stretch a bit and the neck find it's shape before I get onto that.

Looks great! Any chance of some pics with the LEDs on?

Looking really cool now FredA, you should do a demo once it is all up and running.

Thanks guys!

@Simon: The lights are not wired in yet, but cabling is ready:

@Doc: I'll try and do a sound demo once set up. First impression is that the chinese pickups don't sound as nice as the Toneriders or Entwistle I used on my other builds... I've never used the stock pickups so can't really compare to these.
Anyway, I need to do a proper set up before I can gauge

Great theme and well executed!

Hey guys, hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
I need help. I am setting up the Star Wars guitar and I got the nut pretty low by sanding the bottom of it, which is great, but it looks like the slot for the B string is too deep.
It's a bone nut I got from PBG and I didn't make the string slots deeper.

Anyway, do you reckon the nut is dead, and I need to get another one, or is there a way to fill the slot a bit with something?
Thanks in advance!
