Brett's First Build - IB-6S

[Mechanixxxer]

I really like the Warwick look so I figured I'd go for it and see how it turned out.

Probably not, and there are bits and pieces that would have benefited from me being more patient as well. But I'm just going to let it sit for a while before I really start abusing it. things to be aware of for the next build I suppose!

I'm also having some grounding issues but I'm not sure where I've gone wrong. Touching the strings/bridge stops all the hum, but it hums like crazy when I'm not touching it. I do have a ground wire from volume to bridge as well. Any ideas?

Have you got a meter you can check the grounding is all connected with?

Those black bridges you may need to sand away some of the paint on the underside where the ground wire pokes out from the body underneath. The paint insulates it. (I also had to poke the meter probe in the head of the screw to make contact as the top part of the bridge is also insulated.)
