Pathfinder 01 - Explorer with upgrades (1st build)
Hello World and g’day fellow builders.
I have no previous woodworking or even tinkering experience and no tools from previous projects, just my love of guitars - so this will be a completely new experience from scratch. Wish me luck, y’all.
Xmas greetings from Hungary to all of you at the start of this build.

Attachment 38575Sonic Mountain, wazkelly: thank you both!
I still need to check the pickup mounting ring, thank you for reminding me, I did not even consider it yet!
Now I checked, the factory pickup fits the neck position with the ring on - even with the neck pushed totally into the cavity. Phew.
...
I will also have to check it with the SDs in, plus now I realized I don’t like the default rings... (I guess this is when the madness starts :))
First mock also proved I will have to be extra careful with setting the neck straight with the two E strings.

Dear Diary,
I put the Seymour Duncans into the mounting rings and made a dry fit test with the complete bridge. Looks sweeeet.
Next up: I will get push-pull potentiometers for the coil-splitting I have planned and see if the default holes are big enough.
Till then, first sanding done on the body. (Happened after the pic was taken)
