The way you guys are going you will never get out of the naughty room...........
Finally finished. Not my easiest build, and just for good measure one fret was WAY lower than the rest, so I had to dress the others more than I would have liked. I also had to shim the neck because the individual saddle bridge was taller that the standard compensated bridge.
But enough complaints, she ended up looking better than I thought she would, plays beautifully, and sounds, well, like a P90 I guess. Never having owned a P90 guitar before I have no point of reference. Quite a bite to the top end when played clean, but really rocks once the overdrive is turned on. She's about as subtle as a sledge hammer, but is really starting to grow on me already.
Specs:
Lollar P90
Individual saddle bridge,
CTS pots,
Orange Drop Cap.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the encouragement.
@ Stan - not sure how its supposed to sound lol. Clean it sounds pretty much like the Tonerider bridge pup on my TL, but dirty there seems to be more growl in the lower end. Loving it. But my ears are stuffed, so you wouldn't want to take too much notice of anything I say. lol.
Thanks again guys
