my second build ST-1M

yeah with your black burst I would definitely use black pup covers and black knobs/switch tip. Will it be chrome or black hardware ?

[brokin009]

chrome hardware. i wanted to break it up a bit and didn't want too much black.
the Neck.

good job on the headstock burst ! should match well with the body

[brokin009]

just sat the bits together just to see how it looks. it actually looks good with the white pickups.

With a maple fret board maybe white accents is the way to go .

Love the way that burst works with the pickguard. I think the whit and chrome tie the fret board to the darker body and head colours.
It's looking really good, just be careful of soft paint while you are mocking up like that, you'd kick yourself if you marked that burst job at this stage!

hey guys. just asking does anything go underneath the bridge. or does it just rub up against the body?

[wokkaboy]

Hey Brokin yes bridge sits on the body, nothing in between. You will find you won't tighten the screws too much so the plate can pivot. I screw the neck in first (make sure the top side is flush with the pocket) then align the bridge with both E strings installed.

Mock build looks excellent, good work and agree keep the white pup covers on

thats looking great brokin, love the paint and colour combo

[brokin009]

hey guys sorry need to bug you again. just wanted to confirm the pickup height on this kind of guitar. is is the same a s a humbucker? i noticed the little metal pole things stick out a bit in the middle. do i measure from those points or from the plastic cover
