    Wokka's Johnny Ramone Mosrite build

    G'day all, this has been my slowest build ever, started July 2014 ! Thought it was time to pull my finger out and polish and assemble it. I probably started a build diary ages ago but easier to start a new one. Spent about 3 hours yesterday with micro mesh pads and polishing and fret levelling and steel wooliing the fingerboard. Found a 12k ohm single Seymour Duncan pup for the bridge and the stock neck mini bucker is over 10k ohm. Left the plastic on the pickguard as I have to turn it over and complete the wiring. Neck had no play in the pocket and strings and TOM fittings lined up well. Think I have to drop the nut slots as the strings don't touch the zero fret yet. Here's some pics from assembly lastnight
