So came home to the latest Pro Kit an Ash LP with flame top.
Came with Black Babicz bridge and tailpiece. entwhistle pickups, Grover tuners and upgraded electronics.
Body has a really nice flame and will come up nicely.
The Babicz bridge is freakishly light in weight. Is a nice piece of gear with plenty of adjustment and hard locking of bridge saddles similar to a Floyd style bridge. and the Babicz height adjustment Cam system.

With the headstock was looking to do something similar to the ST but with the headstock done mainly in Flame veneer same as the body with the top section recessed with another material insert. Not sure yet but maybe some Red MOP.
Looking to try and achieve a colour similar to the Dean Leslie West

Wow. Scored big time with both these 'Pro' kits, Tony. These are both shaping up to be really exciting builds. I bet Adam is stoked that it's you building them, with this fantastic attention to detail. Keen to see them come alive.

Looking good straight out of the box. Will look awesome if you can replicate that Dean.

It looks like you have some nice flame to show off, which will look great in that colour!
Amazing kit Tony, she should sound absolutely killer. Your plans or the build look great - that burst should totally rock. Will be watching your build with interest!
cheers,
Gav.

Slight change of plans with this build due to an issue with another build I was doing for a mate.
Used Ebony Timbermate to grain fill and used a walnut stain. Coloured the front with left over colourtone from the previous build and all the hardware to be fitted is from the other build.
Veneered the headstock with flame maple and fitted the decal. Now to start the TO coats.
