Andy40's first build - ST-1

[Andy40]

So the conversion bushings came in and were fitted. Needed a tiny bit of glue as the outside of the conversion bushings were exactly 10mm and the hole was too. The vintage backs are only a little skewed due to the wonky holes and the 10mm spacing.

All was right in the world until I snapped a screw. Now I'll not repeat what flew out of my mouth at the time, slightly more colourful than my guitar, but needless to say I do not have the specialist tools to get the screw end out, replug and redrill.

It all seems to be holding quite well without the screw but its gonna piss me off until I fix it later.
