Getting there. Still a lot of set up work needed, but the first stringing up is always a momentous occasion.

Man, it seems like the setup of this thing is taking forever. Just too busy to sit down and spend an hour or two getting everything in order. But, it works. Single pickup and no fancypants wiring certainly make life easier.
First impressions so far. It's insanely light and comfortable. Plays well without a thorough set up. Acoustically quite loud and pleasant sounding (still haven't plugged it in to a decent amp yet). Promising.

Looking really nice Pabs. By chance did you try the stock bridge & measure scale length? Mine came up about 1/2 cm too long (high e-string). My replacement bridge however is spot on (GFS)

nice one Pabs, that control cavity is big enough for a game of cricket ! Could have got away with a LP junior/tele size cavity.
That poor capacitor looks lonely haha

I never measured it out as I knew I was upgrading. I only did it when the new bridge arrived and it was bang on.

It's a standard SG rout with fewer controls and they're all jammed up to the side. So much room! At least it made it nice and easy when it came to fitting all the bits.
