My First Build the GR-1SF

[ShazzRandom]

Good job on the wiring, Shazz, though I think that your experience from your first attempt has also helped to speed up your second attempt! Although the pushback cloth saves time stripping the insulation.

I used shielded pushback cloth wire on mine, though I was halfway through the job before I realised it was pushback... never heard of it before! But it made the rest of the job easy, once I worked out how to use it.

Gee I struggled to strip the end of the earthing wire let alone half a job! It is seriously amazing stuff! So much time saved.
I'm just stoked that it worked second time round

So all hardware is in place just need to set the neck and string her up!! Space wise I need to wait till we move but whether I can wait or not is another question!!!
Here She is all hardened up with the ware!

I also customised the pick guard bracket to give the guard a slight "lift" like the Gretsch does

Hey ShazzRandom, the guitar is looking really awesome with all the hardware on it now, that red colour goes really well with the Chrome of the hardware.

well done Shaz no hum or buzz and working very nicely you must be stoked. Looking very nice most of the hardware on the body. I think you should just attach the neck to the cardboard body looks very cool ! haha

I didn't realise your build diary is 45 pages ! Think Doc's build diary will overtake 45 pages soon !
