Thanks, Louie.

I am liking this way more than I thought I would, it really looks great Con-man. Really just the two trem springs though?

No, I haven't set the thing up yet, they're just there to keep the floyd on. I'll have three on when it's together. I'm hoping this thing will be be finished next week.

That turned out really nice.

This is looking very good Connor. Great work on the finishing. :icon_thumright:

Guess you'll be making some noise over Christmas? :headbang:

That thing is no nonsense.  A Floyd, single humbucker, one vol., one tone, 24 frets, and a soloist body to access those frets.  Built for speed.

Oh yeah. I'll go over to my neighbor's house, he has a Marshall MG half stack and it gets very loud.

With a thin, unfinished neck too.  :headbang1:

Oh, I might want to mention I burnt my right thumb on hot glue from a hot glue gun (apparently the key word was hot and the message was Do Not Touch :laughing3, so it's hard to do anything without massive pain. This means i can't play guitar for a while. :sad:

-Sand down the humbucker ring
-Get new pots and wire to wire up the thing
-Drill screw holes for tuning keys and install them
-String up
-Set up
-Rock the hell out of it. 

 

[blue313]

So all you're missing is the pots and some wire?
