So i got my neck back the other day and with the nasty weather here in NJ this weekend i decided to bolt it up and get it playing. It set up great action is at about 3/64ths at the 22nd fret which is right where i like it. I also included a shot with his 7ish year old brother and my 1st build...

Thanks I have no noise, my other soloist body is wired the same way. with no shielding and I get no noise. I don't think shielding is needed with humbuckers, but that's my opinion. My neck is on its way back and I should have it on Tuesday so fingers crossed its good to go. Heres a pic of...

Thanks Mounted the bridge with the FU-tone PMS https://www.fu-tone.com/product/pms-pickup-mounting-system/ Neck is just a strip of foam for height and some tele mounting screws.

So i decided to mount and solder up everything today. Duncan Custom in the bridge and Vintage Rail in the neck

That is crazy, Id love that :headbanging:

The Bridge on the production Govan is not a non fine tuner Floyd Rose, it is a Charvel bridge based off of it. He originally had the Floyd Rose on it but changed it, Why I dont know?

That looks killer, I just sent my Neck to Cagey to have him work his magic on it.

Thanks All
