ES-335 My First Build

[wokkaboy]

Hi Pedro,
I took delivery of my ES mid January and it had a earth hole drilled from the bridge post closest to the bottom F hole. If you get a long 3mm drill there shouldn't be much wood to drill through to get to the hollow area if you don't have a hole drilled. Have a close look you should have an earthing wire hole near the bottom bridge post hole

when I knocked in the bridge post piece I ran a long earth wire through to the F-hole for soldering to the back of the pots after

good luck but the tubing idea of Gav's is gold and should be patented !

I'll try and follow your forum and answer any other questions you have

cheers Wokka

Gee Pedro, I dunno.... I think I might need to keep an eye on these three to make sure they don't lead you astray! 8-)

Really good will power and discipline there! I'd have ripped it open to start my day on a high! But then i'd have nothing to look forward to when i got home, unless if course i found sanding terribly exciting...

[4runner]

Oh i will be leaving work early. I've got some code to do and bam! im outta here.

Got my paints and stuff today. Packaging was faultless pictures to come when I get home.

Quick question, Do you steel wool between each coat including before and after the highlight?
