    Thanks jugglindan. I’ve obviously been messing around with it tonight. Being so small and portable makes it a lot of fun to play. I thought it might over balance on the neck side but with a decent strap that’s not the case. As the neck is original from a GR-1SF kit, maybe I can call it another modified GR-1SF? It’s my first soldering attempt so I happy it works as it should.

    First soldering attempt? How did you do the first 3 builds then?

    Also, I hope you got the string munching under control. That sounded nasty!

    1st family friend (ex-electronics lecturer) did it.
    2nd not finished yet, but is next on the list now I have a (somewhat) better understanding of the wiring diagrams and soldering equipment.
    3rd no soldering required.

    As for the strings, taking great care when tuning. Might be something I need to work on.

    Just send me your Tele. I’ll cut it in half, glue it back together, chop off the sides and headstock and it will be a job well done!

    I’m not familiar with Max, but sounds like he must of made some interesting things.
    I’m basically just copying the photo earlier in the thread with my own spin on it.

    Thanks, that’s outrageous. I’ll have to check out his other work.

    And just to prove it works...
