Hi Jacob,
The guitar is coming together really nice. Love the colour. The shielding looks top notch.
Can't wait to see the guitar all strung up and rocking some tunes
Cheers,
Brian
The head and neck are all finished, we used carnauba wax on the neck. We are about to head over to my uncle's workshop to put on the machine heads and attach the neck.
nice one Jacob, the neck and headstock looking great. Noticed you have a new username !

We have attached the neck and machine heads but I have a few questions about the bridge...how do I make sure it is lined up with the nut? The demo video uses a guitar in which the pickguard has a groove for it whereas mine doesn't. Also should I have it right up to the pickguard and just adjust the individual places where the strings go? A side note about the volume/tone nobs... Are they supposed to be so high up and how do I tighten them on since when I turn over the guitar the caps sometimes fall off.
Thanks, hopefully I can get a bit of advice,

On a completely different note, how do I add a profile picture?

Hey Jacob,
to line up the bridge you have to put both E strings on, then line the 2 strings up as central as you can to the humbucker poles and the offset of the strings on the fingerboard should be fairly even.
To lower the tone and volume knobs you need to get another nut on the shaft below the pickguard so it sits lower. If the knobs aren't tight I've wedged a screwdriver in the split of the pot shaft to slightly widen it - do this carefully.

We put on the bridge and the string guides, we strung it up, then adjusted the intonation and the height of the strings. I can officially say that I have finished! The only thing that I might do is file the nut, but otherwise, everything works great!
I will try to take some better pictures and maybe a video of me playing it,
Jacob
well done Jacob looks excellent, look forward to a demo video
