    Grant's is pretty amazing. Gold binding, TV-Jones pickups Babicz bridge. One to aspire to!

    Given all the choices, you ought to be able to find something you like at TV-Jones.

    Which makes me wonder... Grant, which ones did you put in yours?

    That's why the strings look the same even though the pickup is closer .... because the TV Jones pole distance is just a tiny bit longer...

    Took me ages to find out how you knew the pickups were TV Jones....

    But that proves my thought of a TV Jones pickup to a fender Bridge.

    I've gone over the build diary - a LOT of work..... quite a few things quite outside the "normal"... someone has done this "before"...

    The logo - I wonder how that was made?

    The logo piece is made from the same clear acrylic used for the pickguard, gold vinyl on back and vinyl lettering on top, generously designed by forum member Sonic Mountain.
    I'm into double digits with kit builds and usually try something new on each one.
    Definitely NOT TV Jones pickups in mine, as much as I would like them to be.

    Interesting ... that kind of logo design opens up a range of possibilities.... Is it 3 mm thick acrylic you used for the pickguard?
    How did you shape the logo piece (what did you use to do so)?


    I thought they were TV Jones from checking the patent number on them.

    My bad! I had TV Jones on the brain (maybe because they are made in my home state?). Grant clearly says he used Fender pickups.

    In the words of Ronald Reagan, "If you are right 98% of the time, who cares about the other 6%?"

    Would I be right to say those are actual Gretsch knobs? ;-)
