    FINISHED!

    Epic build for me and a huge exercise in patience. Five months and 10 days. This was always the guitar I wished i had. So even if the wife doesn't allow me to hang it in the lounge, I still win!

    Last touches done. I ended up replacing the PBG bridge with one of these http://www.realparts.com.au/bridges-...idge-gold.html. If anyone doesn't know the measurements fit perfectly in the factory bored post holes and PBG bushings. The bridge is slightly fatter but doesn't buzz as much.

    Still trying to get the intonation perfect. Its close. I'll see if I can get a sound check done for you guys.

    Specs are as follows:-
    Kit - LP-1SS
    Tuners - Genuine Kluson 3 a Side Keystone Button Tuners - Gold
    Jack - Switchcraft 1/4" Mono Jack - Gold
    Switch - Short Straight Toggle Switch - Gold
    Pots - 500k CTS Vintage Style Audio Taper Pots
    Caps - Sprague .022mfd Orange Drop Capacitor
    Wiring - Vintage cloth
    Shielding - Copper tape
    Bridge - Contemporary Style Tune-O-Matic Bridge - Gold
    Knobs - Bell Knob - Black / Gold Reflector
    Pick-ups - Tonerider Alnico II Classics
    Finish - Dingotone Karajini Red and Tru-oil
