Looks amazing Pabs! I really love that pickguard of yours and the zebra pups just complete the package. What a shredder!
cheers,
Gav.

Thanks fellas. Got her setup most of the way over the weekend (nut is still fractionally high) and wow! Plays fantastically, I'm a tad shocked considering how it was before I pulled it apart. Massive improvement. Thanks to my wife nursing a shocker of a hangover, still haven't got it plugged in to anything larger than the Marshall micro amp I use for testing, so hanging for that opportunity. Another surprise is how damn comfortable the thing is to hold. I never thought it would be possible for a 'pointy' guitar.
A few more pics.
A bit overexposed, I'll get some better ones soon enough.
@Wokka, @Nick, I still don't know if this is eligible for a GOTM entry. The guy I got it off assured me it was a Pit Bull kit. Sure looks like every other EX1 I've seen. I'd love to enter it, but it's not going to upset me if I can't.

Awesome restoration Pabs, enjoy playing it!

My cousin, who was only 4'10" thought they were great because the body was smaller. He still mostly stuck to Strats and Teles which looked enormous on him.

looks excellent Pablo, look forward to a sound demo. If it's a Pitbull kit then I think you should be ok to enter it into GOTM, you have re-finished it
