    Thumbs Up GSM-1 Finished

    Hi guys, my GSM-1 is now finished. Thanks to Simon, Andy and a couple of other guys that I can't remember their names now for the pointers / info.
    Few things I noticed with this kit was, no earth wire hole, the bridge and tail piece holes were out a couple of millimetres, neck had a few nics out of the fret board along with a few scratches. Nothing that couldn't be sorted though.

    I swapped out the PUs for Tonerider Rocksongs and put in a Gotoh bridge. I put 2 push pull switches in for out phase and coil taping.The finish is the Dingotone Uluru. Just 5 coats of the stain coat. Didn't bother with the enhancer. Finished it off with 10 coats of Tru-Oil. Can't thank Andy enough for the heads up on Tru Oil! I love that stuff now!

    The intonation is spot on and the action is one of the best I have played on! I've done fret work on a few different guitars now and the method I used on this one was from youtube. I levelled the first 12 frets then started at the 12th with some tape over it and levelled the rest angling down slightly to the bridge. Worked a treat!

    Overall I'm happy with the way it finished up. Sounds great too!
