Build One: ES-1GT

[rhysneilblack]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to check out the build.
Cannot wait for whatever journey the next few weeks have in store for me.

I guess I'll start with the unboxing.
So the kit had just arrived and in my excitement, as i was taking it out the box, i dropped it...
Just kidding! The only thing that dropped was my jaw.
There is just something about these es1s that I absolutely love.

I have just finished trying a little test fit, I'm currently at work so I cannot do anything too time consuming but it seems all the parts are here and accounted for. I have only one issue that has come out of the woodwork. Yes, pun intended.

The neck pickup does not fit into its new home. Bridge pickup fitment is spot on, really nice but it seems to me like the routing jig has slipped on the neck end. Now it doesn't seem to be a massive problem as I am planning to either sand it down a fraction or grab the router and give myself the extra bit needed to fit the pickup. That should solve the issue and anything i do will be hidden under the pickup itself. I will supply photos of both the kit and the issue I'm having.

Anyway, like I said before I am really looking forward to this.
I will post again with the plans for the guitar and how I think I'll go about it.
