    cheers, Mark.
    Interesting idea thanks Mark

    So not a lot has been happening with my build because i'm still waiting on the pickups to arrive. I've buffed and polished the body and neck and fitted the tremolo and also applied the pitbull decal to the headstock.I did have some custom artwork for the headstock but I've decided to hang onto it for the next build which will be for my daughter.I was going to pass this one onto her but she wants to choose her own kit for me to build her.

    Yeah, it’s looking really good. The colour on the back is ace.

    Well its taken just over a month but i can say i'm almost at the finishing line with this build. I haven't posted much because i really haven't had anything new to share because i had been waiting for my pickups to arrive. Well the pickups arrived today and i got busy with installing and wiring so busy in fact that i forgot to take pics along the way.
    So im about 95% complete on this now still need to work on the intonation and a few little tweaks here and there but its now playable. I had no hassles with the wiring and all controls and pickups are functioning correctly so im pretty happy i got it right first time around.

    So everything is stock with the exception of the Warman pickups. Finished in Dingotone Bushfire Sunrise on the body and DT Colourless on the neck.
