MULLYcaster Build

[mullyman]

Well, all the parts had arrived and were ready to go. Most of the parts came from Warmoth, but, some of them I ordered from a place here in Japan. The bridge is a good example, because Warmoth didn't carry the exact bridge that I wanted. Anyway, as it's been said a dozen times already, this was a gift for my 50th birthday from my wife and I was wanting to build something gorgeous, classy, awesome, etc... etc... With the thought that my wife saved up a few dollars here and there for the past 5 years to make this happen for me, I felt really nervous about putting it together myself. I can do everything, but, I'm far from being a pro, and it's been at least 7 or 8 years since I've had a soldering iron in my hand. My buddy at the guitar shop is a graduate of ESP's guitar building school. I also know that he is EXTREMELY meticulous in what he does, I trust him 100% to do a great job, so, I loaded up the truck and headed to Beverly. <-- showed my age on that one. Anyway, I don't really have any pics....because I used video!!! Links below. And I tried to keep them short and sweet except for the main video where I went live and let it run.
