I have consulted with my head advisor then fired him. Then I consulted with the head of the FBI then fired him. Then consulted with my press advisor who gave me some "alternative facts" which I whole heartedly agree with. Then I fired her.
I believe it is my absolute right to share sensitive information and choose this secure forum to do so.
And after the expert guidance of pablopepper and fretworn I will submit to the GOTM.
(Don't Think I'm much competition though)
Here we go!!

hi Wokka
machine heads are Adam upgrades - grover mini locking
pots are 500K audio taper from Jaycar
knobs from Jaycar (the holes in the scratchplate for the dials were too close together and the stock speedknobs [which i really like BTW) were too hard to manage)
trebble bleeds put together by me and got from Jaycar
orange drops from Adam
bridge is stock(which is the next to get upgraded i hope soon)
humbuckers from Artist
nut is bone from DingoT
i think that is it.
started 29 December and just finished.......
cheers Oli, wow there are quite a few upgrades. Don't worry how much time it took to build. Most often the slower builds are better as more care has been taken during the build (or lack of free time !)
It's best to let the paint and clear coats cure for longer

HaThanks mate. I think they're only really called upgrades if you don't use the original things! I managed to wreck a few sets of pots and things on the way through. That's why so much stuff is different from stock

Very nice looking guitar. Hopefully it plays and sounds as good as it looks.
Hi Simon:
Sounds:
tone closed: really really muddy and muffled
tone around 3/4 open: beautiful warm and clear tones
tone wide open: kinda bright
the strings resonate for ages when i play a note and that is really exciting.
as i am used to playing single coils i am enjoying the different sounds from each pickup (i am really not an expert at tone and sounds so a "review" from me isnt worth much
Plays:
still tweaking the setup.
action: i think ive got it right. id say slightly lower than medium height, buzzing a little when i hit the strings a little hard. I have not got a fancy accurate measuring ruler so i cant really measure it and show you
bridge kinda vibrates a little and is a little irritating. I am sure I can play around with it to get it right. is there any kind of lube i can put on it all so it sits smooth and happy?
have you any thoughts on getting those little screws down neatly and the saddle straight??
phew!
Chris Cornell died and i am not having a good day today. i dont want to work. just sit at home by myself.
