    A lot of the hardware he sells is ultra cheap cr@p. Hopefully the pickups are not.

    What size fret crowning file do I need for this FS-1 kit? Large? I'm going to get an end file as well, the ends of the frets need so much work...very sharp edges.

    Final "spiriting off" of the top. I think the end result is what I wanted. 3 weeks on this top.

    Final coat of black paint and buffing to come, then polishing the neck and headstock.

    When pick-ups arrive I'll start assembly. I'm going to upgrade the pots, I'm going to split the humbuckers anyway so I need a push-pull.

    The frets need work, I think this will be quite a lengthy process.
