Ampmans First build - LP1-M

[wokkaboy]

nice build Ampman very cool looking LP, nice choice of colours. How do the Toneriders sound and are the tuners ok ?

sounds like needs a few more fine tweaks. Can we please see a pic of the finished headstock ? cheers

Thanks for the compliments , I'm really happy with the way the colours came out .
I was spraying the clear under EXTREMELY adverse conditions so if you saw it straight
off the gun you would be amazed at how well it came up . Thank God for 1200 wet and dry .
As for the Grovers its early days of course but so far they are brilliant .
My HS Anderson has Schallers on it which I feel have a smoother , more precise
action , but that locking function on the Grovers is really good .
Takes no time at all to string and tune and no issues so far .
I did read that they can break high E strings but the cure is to put one turn on first prior to tensioning .

I wouldnt say the Toneriders are the best pickup available but for the price they are good value .
I will reserve final judgement till I get decent strings on it , these ones were initially terrible
and made for a pretty average sound till they wore in .

I will post another pic of the headstock once I decide what to do . I left the tape on too long and tore
the clear on the top of the headstock unfortunately .
Not a major drama as I'm now thinking of doing a laminate with a fancy inlay and I'm going to have to break
the nut out I suspect to sort the other issue. It is shaped like a 50 's Les Paul , maybe not exact but looks good .

Cheers
