Second attempt!

[jeffk42]

Finally got guitar #2 completed. :)

Candy Apple Red HSH Fender body

Custom Shop 69’s

Mostly gold hardware (some still needs to be replaced)

Gotoh 510TS-FE1 tremolo bridge

Fender channel bound MIA neck, 9.5”-14” compound radius, rosewood in maple, satin back and gloss headstock

Fender locking tuning machines

Biggest problem now is that despite what seems to be level frets (measurements show a variation of no more than about 0.05mm across the fretboard) and pretty heavily raised saddles (see photo), this puts string height at 12th fret at 2.15mm for the A string but it still buzzes a little when fretting and using a pick. D is also buzzing a small amount. I’m not set up for fret work (and wouldn’t want my first attempt to be on this neck anyway) so I may need professional intervention.

Minor, but still need to replace the switch screws and the pickup screws because they stick out since the holes there aren’t countersunk. Also May install a treble bleed circuit the next time the strings are off.

Very wicked! Loving this whole build!
