    Ampmans First build - LP1-M

    Hi All , sorry this is a bit late in coming and not too detailed but better than nothing .
    Any way , the guitar is as follows
    LP1-M kit
    Tonerider AC4 pickups
    Grover locking tuners
    Bone nut
    Finish is U Beaut wood dyes mixed to suit with an acrylic lacquer clearcoat .

    I have encountered an issue with the nut but otherwise no major dramas and
    despite the nut issue is coming along OK but I will need to sort this out .
    The problem is that I set the height using strings 1 and 6 only ,and set to
    a conservative height (hopefully the pix show this ) but after glueing and stringing
    found that the 1st fret clearance on strings 3 and 4 was almost zero .
    A little tweak of the truss rod and saddle heights got it playable but it does
    buzz the first on 3 and 4 slightly . Looks like I will have to crack the nut back out
    but I will play it in for a week or so first
    Once sorted though and given a proper setup it will be quite a nice guitar .
    It still only has the standard kit strings on it so will be better again with the EB's

    Cheers
    Andy
