I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out. I think there's room to go lower but I didn't want to risk it. It doesn't quite have the same zing as the Graphtec but I'm going to live with it.
I used the Graphtech as a template for the rough shape and string spacing. I found that some of the files I have aren't as wide as they're supposed to be. I had to rock the file from side to side to get the string to sit in the bottom of the slot. I also found the files would stick in the slot... maybe the slots are too deep? I could have started with less height perhaps?
I also added the string tree from the kit for the B and E. I might replace this with something a bit classier as it's quite prominent - but it can wait until the next parts order.
I'm not sure there's much left to do now - I need to lower the pots as the knobs are sitting too high. I might also go back to the frets to file the ends a little more and repolish. Other then that it's final setup tweaks and then the glamour shots!
