Everything except the tuners. The Grover locking tuners are the best bang for buck upgrade you can make in my humble opinion.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
Yeah patience is the key. Especially with painted finishes.

Nice work Sonic came up pretty decent
Yeah I'm happy with it. I will probably build another one for myself at some point.
I ended up doing a quick fret level on it. I had a slight buzz on the third fret, but after a light touch up and putting the Ernie Ball strings on its all good. The intonation is great, a lot better than I was expecting from the bridge. I've been playing it a bit. I might do a quick demo video when I feel keen.
Weather is terrible for pics, but I'm calling his one finished.
And one more to try and show off the finish better.

Big sigh of relief - The Relliecaster has survived shipping and arrived to a very stoked new owner in Darwin.
It may need to be surgically removed from him
