Hi all,
It's been a while. I finished build number four sometime ago. It's a Jackson Dinky based super strat:
The kit was from guitar kit fabric in the UK. The kit itself was not the best. The trem cavity was not quite straight so it needed some tweaking.
I swapped out the kit trem for a Floyd Special which is okay as long as you keep it well setup. The nut is also upgraded but still needs some work. The pickups are Iron Gear rolling mills and a smoke stack in the middle.
The top is finished with Rustins Plastic Coating gloss whilst the back and sides I left natural with some graphite dust mixed into the grain filler and a few coats of shellac sealer followed by a bees wax.
Over all I'm really happy with it.
I stopped building at this point as I'd run out of room in the house for guitars.
But then I saw this this FretWire kit on FB and I was weak:
More details to follow...
