LP-SAURUS let the journey begun - my first build

[sulistbu]

YAY .......... IT WORKS

And it spoke to me, no hums or buzz and just nice tone both clean and dirty (well I've never own a humbucker guitar before! so I don't have anything to compare it with).

Anyway thank you all for all the helps, will tidy up a bit and posts some pics later. In the mean time I need to grind the axe and make a little bit of noise while I have the house by myself.

See you all in a bit

Thanks Paul,

Yeah I should have called it something and "Sweet Velvet" got a nice ring to it. But I was too hasty and didn't occurred to me to place a label/decal on it. I thought I lost the PBG decal and only to find it yesterday after cleaning up my bench :x . Anyway I can always added it on later.

As promised here is my first completed build pics.
1st pix - Unstrung
2nd pix - Frontal Strung (stock strings not D'Addario PBG standards)
3rd pix - Back

With my build I think I could dress the frets a bit for faster/smoother action but then again it could be the strings that I used. Tuners are OK, but I will replace them with better quality (ie GOTOH brand perhaps) when I have enough fund. Pots supplied with comes only with one nut each (should have come with 2 for each pot). PUPs I reckoned is very good, I can't remember the output but the one with red wire (bridge) measured at 10.2 kOhms and the yellow around 8 kOhms mark. I can't describe the sounds but they have the "oomphs" when overdriven. Its also nice Clarity when played Clean.

Anyway folks when I get around to it I'll try to upload the Vid or audio file of my build.

I love how the saffron is in perfect harmony with the top, the grain and the colour work so well. The back in stark contrast looks outstanding in luscious red with a great sheen that blankets the whole build.

Thanks BL much appreciated, but I've seen the entrants for June GOTM, Man I don't think mine is up to it. Especially your Black Top and how you work it short and sharp tune, thats a killer licks.

You're too kind, honestly man any one of those axes could win it (yours included), I'd get in there if I were you!

Wow Budi - looks really slick man! love the saffron on the flame maple and the contrast with the neck and back is really cool. You really should get your entry into GOTM.

cheers,
Gav.
