One step closer.

I just need the scratch plate and "Cibson" decal to finish it off now.
Wet sanded to 3000 grit, polished and waxed.
It will get another wax before final assembly.
This is one of the best neck fits i have had from Pit Bull I just need to adjust the nut pocket for the brass nut.

All strung up.
I will leave it a week or so now before i do a full set up etc.
Tuners are temporary until I decide what to put on it.
Tome knob is from my old fender. 12.54k Pit bull pickup from a previous build that I didn't use but it is perfect for this.
Volume pot is a push pull with a treble bleed and pot mod to go between 500k and 250k.
Strings are 10-52 Ernie Ball.

One of the hardest things was getting to logo right. There are so few photos that show it in any decent quality. I have managed to get the approximate shape right and the slide will drop off eventually to leave the watermark effect similar to the original.

Total cost of the build was $260AUD.
