    I finally finished my guitar last Sunday.

    I’ll post more pics later. my computer is being kinda slow today. I can’t get the pics smaller so just copy the url without the star and you should be able to see it.

    I used a replacement strat neck, soapbar P-90’s, a top loading bridge, a Gibson 3 way pickup selector, Dunlop stap locks, and Grover locking tuners. It plays really good and sounds amazing. The only thing i don’t like is that it hums, but you get that with single coils.

    Thanks :), I used 2 coats of tung oil, but I didn’t really like it, so i got this spray varnish stuff and used two coats of that. then steel wool and wax. and then i polished it.

    I fixed the hum of my guitar!
    I always thought it was just the pickups but I put that copper shielding in the pickup pockets and grounded it, and then added a ground from the bridge. and then i changed the input jack and it’s quiet now!

    BlueSteel, that is one beautiful guitar. Just looking at the pictures I can hear it playing. Maybe we should address you as the Blue Luthier from now on.

    And, if you don’t mind, I did a quick one/two on the first picture in your links so that all here can admire your work which really deserves to be seen!
