We've had an entry from Amber Hansen. She says...
This is my first guitar kit build so it’s a little rougher than what I had wanted it to be but I am proud of what I have accomplished. I put EMG T-Set pickups in instead of the factory stock, I had to cut my own pick guard out of the original kit because I didn’t want to cover up all that resin pattern that I worked so hard to do, and also because the routed hole for the neck pickup was for a humbucker size so my single coil I put in there would have looked odd if I didn’t cover up the rest of the routed pocket. For the resin pattern I built a Litchenberg device out of an old microwave transformer to burn the “fractal/lightning” pattern, then filled the burn marks with a blue resin. There are many more custom things I did that would take forever to list like the string ferrules, engraving signature and filling with resin, gotoh bridge instead of the stock, adding black stain and sanding it back to only fill in the grain.
