    The next step is to build a wedge monitor so that she can rest a foot on it whilst playing.

    Slightly better demo after another go at setup this morning. I think its still settling down, but this is a better demo of how it sounds - my ham fisted playing aside. Just clean with no emulators or processing into my mac.

    Neck pick-up sounds best to me. Great build!

    Thanks Rook, This guitar has come a long way since that vid. Same pickups, but the setup and playability is waaaay better. Couple of clips of a mate playing it last week here.

    That's sounding really nice Sonic. Once I get my next 2 builds out of the way im going re visit my JMA and cut a new pick guard and rout the pickup cavity out so i can re-position all the pickups like you suggested. It plays ok but it definitely needs to have them moved.

    Yeah I really want to do that mod, a few things in the queue before I get back to it.

    The guy in the clip has asked me to build him a second guitar as well, which is going to be a lot of fun. Very different to what I have previously done. I'll start a diary once we get the base kit.
