Sounds good to me man! I'm excited about it. I started intunating it the other night when I finished it, but it just seemed like it was a little more time consuming and it was late so I stopped.

Got it from Guitar Fetish!! It's like $18 after shipping or something like that. I just drilled it out since it was blank!

Looks phenominal! You should try out something like a large MXR style knob or something, those ol black witchhat styles are kinda meh IMO.

I think so too dude. I want to mill out the shaft of the original amber roller knob that I had gotten- it looks great but the pot I am using isn't one of the ones with the split that can expand and contract, it's a solid one so I've gotta mod the pot

Dude! Looks so great.
And I LOVE that bridge! I was just wondering if they made blanks like that (I want a neck pickup only guitar).

That finish is awesome! Is there a page on how to get this kind of finish somewhere?
I want an SG in this finish, NOW! Being out of money sucks

I just sanded, applied a prestain, and then brushed on with a regular paint brush the ebony stain, let it set for 7 minutes and wiped with a rag to get the excess off before rubbing with 7 coats of tru-oil. All together the finish, prestain, sanding blocks, brush, and oil cost about $40-50

Sorry about the lack of demos dudes. I actually sat down and recorded two nights ago with it and it sounds AMAZING. I'm not sure if it's the bridge, or the pickup, or the combo of the two but there is so much DETAIL in everything that I play. The pickup is hot on 10, and cleans up super nice while still being bold around 4-5. I'm in love. I'll record clips when I can
