    Super productive long weekend here W/O young humans around, so I'm calling the SC done as well. As per the DC, this still needs final intonation, neck settling and the usual minor tweaks etc. Again, plays and sounds exactly how I wanted it too. Not bad for what used to be floorboards in a past life. Yeow!

    Two very nice looking guitars. Well done.

    I notice there's a slight difference in the distance between the bridge and the pickup between the two guitars. It's not much, only a couple of mm at most I'd imagine. Do they sound much different as a result? If they do, I suppose it's hard to tell how much is pickup placement and how much the effect of the single vs double cutaway construction.

    Thanks Simon. Yeah it's funny I only really noticed the difference in placement myself when I took that photo side by side. Don't know how that happened with all the measuring I did...I really cannot tell the difference between them at all sound wise. My favourite thing though is how well they both clean up and the interplay with the volume and tone knob with the P90. I have 50's wiring in Les Pauls with humbuckers, but this is really next level and so much more noticeable and interactive. Loving it.

    I can use both, in fact I really should even demo the other previous builds two as well which was my intention. The heat is on I'll get onto it asap
