Cool!
Just let me know and I'll see if I can afford one.

Well! I went up to the shop yesterday and woke up this morning around 6 am. I just finished my work for the day and here's what I have done. This is the initial stringing up to make sure everything works properly and I can check for dead frets. The truss rod is just settling in so I've got a few more adjustments to be makin. I've also got to get a black knob for the 3 way switch as well.

I managed to nail the straight string pull over the nut as well.

...In my opinion you should cut your string ends though. I can't stand long string ends

Heh - I haven't cut them so I can remove them and reuse them. I've got locking hipshots so i don't have windings on the posts. I only strung it up to catch dead frets and make sure everything was in place. Trust me, I really wanted to see it with nice trimmed ends, but i figured why waste the pack. I've still got hours of sanding, cavity shielding (yes i know emgs are shielded), logo application and then finally the oil finish. In the two pics, I haven't applied any finish or naptha to the guitar.

I'm happy I did a trem equipped guitar because I learned a lot of do's and don'ts thru this entire build.

Once again - thanks everyone for checkin it out!
