There are pics already in the thread.
Anyho, it's a few weeks in, and while I love the look and sound of it, to be honest, it plays worse than my Squier. It suffers from the bad fret work, the high action because of it and the saddles slipping (Graphtec saddles are narrower than Jap saddles!)
In the future, heres my aims for it:
- New neck
- Rerouting (deeper pickup routes so wires can pass, as well as move trem forward 2 cm)
- Refinish (current finish is chipping and scratching VERY easy)
So for a first go at putting together a custom, twaz fun!

Dude, I'm real sorry that you aren't thrilled with the play. Especially after all of that time.

I know, it kinda sux, but these hols I'm gonna save some cash and a proper neck made from Warmoth and possible strike a deal with Aug to get the reroute/refin done.
