    Thanks euroa & Dedman. This was probably the easiest of the 4 builds I have done so far and really happy with the colour as that part of any build does not always end up how you pictured things in your mind before starting.

    Sounds good but too much gorgeous grain to hide if using Ash. Maybe a translucent white on Ash would look cool.

    Finally figured out how to do a half decent video on an iPad and just spent past few hours working out how to invert it as the iPad was upside down! Also took about 1.5 hours uploading on to YouTube.

    The reason for a sound demo was to provide a before and after example........here is the before with the stock Chinese pickups.....

    Edit: Would love to know how you guys embed the video without using a hyperlink as I have had to do here?

    The neck PUP sounds the best as it is quite meaty yet retaining crisp highs whereas the bridge PUP was mostly brighter overall.

    Hey Waz, for the Entwistle pups did you have to modify the standard kit routes?

    Hi Ponch, yeah I had to reshape part of the scratch plate and chisel out a bit for the bridge PUP too. Here are the before and after shots and if you look close enough the mods become obvious in the 2nd shot....

    The mounting lugs for both were a fraction wider than the stock units hence why they didn't drop straight in. Hope this helps answer your query.
