EX kit

Have just started an EX build. Not sure where it is going but am going to keep it simple.

Agreed Jarrod!

I'm always happy to see the start of an EX project. One day I'll join the club. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Nothing wrong with keeping it simple! Cool kit; enjoy.

am thinking of getting the troll or the conan image from my first guitar developed onto plastic for a traditional explorer shaped scratchplate maybe

Ibanez QM1 turned up from the States. QM2 is coming. Was going to put them in my destroyer but am wondering if they would suit this build.

I think they will be an improvement. The stock pu's are ok but nothing more than that.

Well the first coat of stain is on. Is Crimson guitars Amber diluted down 3 parts with water. Doesn't look Amber at all even in the bottle but it is making this look very Gibson Mahogany which is cool enough. One problem I realised as soon as I took the clamp off the neck- I forgot to try the pickup fit and sure enough, it wont fit without cutting a bit off the fingerboard. I measured correctly I think. Set as it is it is 24 and 3 quarters to the middle of the bridge.

this is a bit closer. You can see there is obviously no room for the neck pickup surround without cutting the fingerboard down a bit. Unless I am doing something totally wrong?
