I thought it appropriate to move this here with more parts arriving daily. The bridge and some electronics odds and ends should arrive tomorrow.

Nice!  I'm curious to know how you end up liking those Kiesel pickups.  I talked with Jeff Kiesel at the factory a few weeks back and he's pretty proud of 'em, but I haven't had a chance to play any yet.

This is going to be first round with them, but from the DI's I've heard they sound really nice for what I have planned (and I got a good deal on them used on SSO).

Sweet...

Black VS-100 Bridge, Superswitch, knobs, and strings have arrived. Now just waiting on the neck, I wish there were photo updates along the way, but Warmoth's volume is probably too high for such things.

That thing is gonna be a beast when it's done. I love the color. It will be interesting to see how the roasted maple looks with it. Probably badass...  arty07:

Micro Mesh set for burnishing showed up yesterday, and the neck shipped out this evening. I'm ready for the longest week ever. :laughing7:

This finally arrived last night. I didn't get any time to start burnishing, but I should be good to go after work this evening.

There's something about a baritone roasted maple neck that just makes me feel really content with life. Awesome pick up.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Thanks, I think it was the best choice over a non-roasted maple neck.

It's likely that you will get aroused the moments you glide your fingers over the neck after you burnish it.

I'm dying to see the neck on the body, please post a pic of the two together

There will be no further pictures until it's done. The neck is so smooth after burnishing.
