Dave's ES-3

[Dave Easter]

Still a bit of fiddling to do, a bit of fret buzz to sort out, and intonation is close, but not quite right, but it all needs to settle overnight. Oh, and I forgot to put the knobs on! The jack socket sticks out too far, but a washer or two will fix that. The best surprise was the gorgeous flame effect in the wood. I just didn't see it while I was working on it, but once I had a good gloss, it jumped out at me. This is by far the best kit I have done, I love it and I would recommend it to anyone. At some point I will go back and put a real inlay on the headstock, to do the fretboard justice, but this will do for now.
