EX-1 finally done.
Been a long time getting this one finished and below I have listed all the mods and upgrades:
5 Coats Dingo Tone Coolangatta Gold Base Stain
5 Coast Dingo Tone Coolangatta Intensifier Coat
20 + (maybe even more) coats of Tru Oil
Dingobass Bone Nut and Neck Setup - best investment anyone can make. Awesome job and many thanks DB.
2 x Bourns 500k Audio Taper Push Pull Pots - one used to split neck PUP to slugs and the other to split bridge PUP to screws
Set of Tonerider Alnico IV Classic Vintage Voiced Humbuckers
1 x Sprague 0.022 Orange Drop Tone Capacitor
1 x Fidelity resistor & capacitor volume control upgrade
1 x Gotoh 3 position switch
1 set of Grover Locking Tuners
1 x Rosewood Truss Rod Cover
Dingo Tone Wax used on Rosewood Fret Board & Truss Rod Cover
Cat music Conductive Shielding Paint
Epiphone genuine Explorer Hard Case
Only standard parts used were the Bridge, Tail Stop, Strap Buttons & end jack plate and 1/4" socket as too hard finding a black retaining nut for a switchcraft one as threads differ.

Not your average EX-1, but not too far removed either.
Body painted with Maston black acryl spray and lacquered with Maston acryl lacquer spray. Finished with Sonax car wax.
