Here's my RC4 Rhythmplucker..
Born 3rd February after ten months of sanding, sanding, more sanding, routing, staining, working, sanding, living, sanding some more, more staining, oiling, more oiling, assembling, disassembling shimming, reassembling, disassembling again, building, waxing, soldering... then finally playing!

Its a stock RC4 kit build with an Allparts Ric style bridge upgrade and different knobs as I chipped the supplied ones when I first took them off. I shimmed the neck pocket (to tweak the angle) and had to make a new scratch plate as the supplied one didn't fully cover the cavity once I set the neck in place for a 34" scale length. I finished it off with a larger truss truss rod cover from an offcut of scratch plate material with custom 3D printed logo.
It's my first build and was unplanned as it was bought as a present for me. This forum is really great for information, encouragement and when you're unsure of anything. My main goal was to build something that was playable and hopefully gigable... then I saw a blue burst Ric which was all the inspiration I needed but took me way, way down the finishing route. That said, its done both gigs since it was finished and has become my main go to noodler too!
