Thanks for all the encouragement and compliments on this build . Very much appreciated to the point where I am back in the Manacle making progress on a few builds that have been dormant for a while!

This is a very artful piece of work.
Great stuff.
Really some good ideas on this site.
Some parts arrived today so that I could move closer to stringing this up.

Hey Woks, EMG's, the Active Humbuckers
I have the EMG 85 in the bridge. It just sounds great. It has a nice warm and chunky thickness to it. I have an EMG 81 which sounds great in the neck and lets the tone cut through, its a much brighter pickup but the combo is great.

I know that James Hetfield (from Metallica for people who dunno who he is) uses a modded version of the 81 in his guitars! I definitely like the 81 and 85, good pickups IMO
