I reckon we are going to have to send our judging panel on a nice quiet holiday after this month, what a set of entries and the month ain’t over yet.....

I haven't spent a lot of time with them yet, but first impressions are they are really bright and high output. I want to sit down and do a comparison with the alincos in my Hagstom. So I'll do that when I get the chance and try and do a vid. It was actually your guitar that inspired the purchase, so you are an influencer on this build for sure.

Nice looking build. If you want to add more pics you need to use a hosting service like Imgur instead of the forum uploader.

This is how I do it:

Glad I'm not a judge, the work this month is about as good as it gets.

An RCM-1 kit with the following mods:
Replaced stock tuners with black Grover locking tuners.
Replaced stock plastic pickguard with hand made Eucalyptus wooden guard (grain was filled with Timbermate Jarrah)
Replaced stock tailpiece with black open trapeze
Replaced stock bridge and posts with black rollermatic bridge
Replaced stock jack plate with black version
All chrome screws replaced with black ones
Humbucker pickup covers spray painted black
Fret markers on neck were removed and filled with epoxy resin with glow powder. Strings are Elixir Polyweb 10s
Replaced stock strap knobs with locking versions.
Body and neck were grain filled with Timbermate Mahogany, top filled with Timbermate Hardwood and then all sanded back to 1500 before finish of 6 coats of Feast Watson clear varnish in matt, applied with HVLP sprayer.
Have to say I'm a mite pleased with this one though for some reason I can only add 5 photos.
Oh, and it plays well too!
