Thanks @Hobastard.
I'm quite happy with the look. But the pickups could be changed as the stock pickup I got are quite weak (and can't be coiled split).
Also need to improve the setup. I get a bit too mucj fret buzz after the 12th fret...
Might need to review the neck relief and potentially angle...

Hi Fred, you can actually coil split those standard soapbar humbucker PUP's as I posted here.... http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=6476Originally Posted by FredA
Also discovered that once you have the action nice and low plus the PUP's at a decent height the volume issue is no longer as big a problem. It may pay to remove the PUP's and install some 5mm - 10mm high density foam underneath them and screw down hard to a level where they are close enough but not too close to the strings to cause issues. The Bourns 500k audio taper push/pull pots are easy to wire up and not too dear and would come in handy if you upgrade to splitable PUP's down the track.
Cheers, Waz
