My first build ES-1GT

[davidhart]

So, Here is the finished ES-1GT in Cherry Red with Nitrocelulose Lacquer with a custom Mother of Pearl Headstock inlay.

with the following upgrades:

Tonerider Birmingham Pickups
Locking Tuners
Bone Nut
Push Pull Bournes Volume Pots
CTS Tone Pots
Orange Drop Capacitors
Roller Bridge
Strap Locks (I do not want to drop this instrument)



She plays like a dream with a very low action.
Sounds great through my 5 watt Big White Monkey "Chimp" MK III valve combo.
The pickups are great. Very clear clean tones but not as 'chimey' as my Gretch.
