Don't know if anyone has noticed that I router the pick-up cavities at a angle? nothing worse than a P90 pick-up that doesn't follow the strings.

I saw that, nice touch!

What do you do if it's a dogear pickup, use a shim to angle the cover?

I like to make a surround so it looks like a dogear for that classic look, but it also means you have a much bigger choice of pick-ups to use  :D

Great looking guitar as usual Paul!  If only I had some cash.  I'd snap it up and throw some mini humbuckers in it...

Hi Paul,

It's a beauty, that. It'd just speak under my credit limit, too, once I've got my credit card paid off (again)  :lol:

Out of interest, why the locking tuners? I've always found standard grovers to be pretty bombproof...

that SG jr-inspired guitar is REALLY nice - I have a soft spot for junior Gibsons.

+1 your take on the SG jr is absolutely gorgeous. Even though it's just a photo, you can see the quality of workmanship in your guitars.

TBH mate that guitar was put together for a mate of mine, he's already got a few of my guitars and saw a single cut I made and he asked if he could have the single cut instead of the SGR. He's never really been into SGs but loved the guitar when he saw it.
I'm going to take the locking machine heads off because it stays in tune with no problems anyway.  :)

Normally I take a small deposit and then the person who orders the guitar gives me what they can afford every month, when the guitar is all paid for they receive the guitar.
Just makes it possible to buy a custom made guitar without breaking the bank lol.
Depends on how long someone wants to wait for the guitar...how much they will pay each month. Always the case that someone will try and pay it off as soon as possible  :D
