Here is my entry for October GOTM.

The kit is a ES-1G with a few additions.

The colour is a custom mix of Azure Lagoon and Dark Onyx to darken it up. The darker Wudtone seems to bring out an almost metallic look to the Maple cap and It also changes colour depending on the light and the angle you look at it. To add to the depth of the colour the guitar was given a few coats of Axe Wax and buffed to a shine. Couldn't be happier.

Upgrades to the kit are as follows;
- Tonerider P90 pickups in a Humbucker case
- Nickel surrounds
- Switchcraft 3 way switch and jack
- CTS audio taper pots all round
- Black Bee Oil-in-Paper tone caps
- 3 ply pick guard and ES335 pick guard bracket
- Tusq nut
- Shielded "vintage" wiring
- Set of D'Addario Jazz "Light" strings

How does it sound? Smooth as silk...
