    hi guys,

    Thanks for the kind words, especially those relating to my lack of guitar virtuosity :P . Today I got the frets level (sans the 0th fret) and then filed the nut slots down to almost nothing. The strings are now all sitting on the 0th fret. The action is nice and low, although the G string is buzzing a bit. There might be a high fret somewhere, so I'll need to investigate that one. Here's a first look at how she came out. I'll take some sexier shots in the coming days..



    All in all she feels nice to play. I haven't really cut loose yet as I'm supposed to be working (um, huh?), but I have all weekend. I'll let you guys know how she goes when I do.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    That thing is killer man. Good job can't wait to hear some killer Ramones riffage.

    Hey Gavin I had my doubts about how his this would turn out but you have nailed the white finish. Just beautiful mate. Well done. Permission to use it as the featured finished kit?
    Cheers,

    Hey Adam, no worries at all. Would you like a better picture, or will this one suffice?

    cheers,

    @Pabs, @Looney, @Adam, @Bargey - thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with how she has come up. I'm hoping to get a sound demo together soon.

    cheers,
