White GR-1SF Build

[kells80aus]

Next Build will start soon, I hope. I have been collecting bit for it
The Silver Hardware will be junked and replaced with some nice gold bits.
The Bigsby is out and replaced by a gold tailpiece. The chrome tunres are out and replaced by Wilkinson Imperials. Tone knobs are replaced with white speed knobs. and the Chrome bridge will be replaced witha gold roller bridge. Now have I forgotten anything. Oh yes the three pos tone switch becomes a 6 pos rotary, so more caps than a surf beach.

Cheers PK

Oh BTW I am still waiting on the Kit.

nice one PK, haven't seen you on the forum for a while. So this kit is on backorder, hopefully it arrives soon.
Nice upgrades, what are the gold pups are they GFS ?
should look sweet in all gold and the flash gold tailpiece.
So will it be white all over including neck and headstock ? Thats what Jarrod did white with gold hardware and it looked awesome, should be a build diary for it
Not sure if this was the kit DB and Jarrod had a bit of work on the neck pocket, make sure you do a mock build as soon as it arrives.

Hi Wokka

The Pups are form a builder in USofA the only clues on the stickers are MBS2-GD, the Neck coils are 4.47K and 4.45K I haven't measured the Bridge coils yet.
The pups are split coils.

Cheers PK

nice one PK, so solid white paint for this baby ?
I'd have a chat with Jarrod about his build, the colour scheme is identical.
Whats the ETA of the kit ?

[kells80aus]

ETA was early Oct. I am toying with the idea of putting some pearloid into the white.
My understanding of how it is done is to paint the body white then repaint with the white pearl then clear gloss it.

Hey guys, just caught this thread on email. I'm going to do a bit of an announcement post on this "missing shipment" that was originally due "late August". TL;DR it's now expected mid next month (November). Stand by for the details in the feedback thread.

No Probs Ad's We trust you implicitly.

I've still got several other builds that have been in stall mode due to the weather, the missus having a milestone birthday, and the grand kids visiting from Singapore. And also me finding a part time job door knocking for the ABS

Cheers PK
