I'd be well impressed with that on any level but knowing I had a bit of an input makes me feel right proud The finishers have done a nice job too - bursts are difficult to do at the best of times but black on white is one of the trickiest to get right. You must be well pleased.[/quote] Cheers it is a bit special you underplay your involvement though, it was crucial, without a excellent neck that fitted perfectly it would have been pointless taking the build all the way to completion.

JimBobTTD Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Very nice! Great colour. The whole package looks wonderful. Well done! Quote

Then it will done and then I can take pictures! Quote

Rumple Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Cheers, I have sore fingers from playing it all afternoon! Quote
Rumple Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Took another pic today on request to show the neck off and thought I would share it for those interested. [attachment=86564:P1010915_LHB_vlr.jpg] Quote
Rumple Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Little update: Last night a mate and I re worked the wiring using the old Varitone plate but replacing the Varitone element with a standard tone pot and changing the switches with a couple of better quality ones. So now it's wired: Standard VVT 250k pots with an Series/Parallel switch and an On/Off switch that cuts the output to the jack. Sounds pretty good and the S1 style switch bring an added thump to the normal Jazz tone. Quote
