Fantastic! I can hear Conway dribbling from here. Is that a Killswitch I see?

Happy NGD!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Not mine, but quite like the subtle flame, the elegant burst and the composition.

When I got the Knaggs the only thing I wasn't so keen on was the gloss finish on the wenge pickguard. Knaggs seem to vary the details and the one in Rockshop had a satin finish guard that I thought looked nicer. The headstock on mine also has a veneer which is satin so it seemed worth making a wee change.

I removed the pickugard to do some wiring mods and whilst it was off stripped the gloss clear. I sanded it smooth and gave it a single coat of Tru-Oil. Reassembled it today (with blender pot) and think it looks a lot better:

After.

They're all keepers!

Quality is as good as it gets. Has a great Strat / Tele 'snap' to it. Effortless to play. Nice trem. :thumbup:

Took these couple of pics quickly on my iPhone tonight, all parts finally switched out and I think I am now happy :|

• Tailpiece swapped for an aged aluminium one
• Bridge swapped for an aged Gotoh ABR-1
• White toggle switch swapped for an amber one
• Speed knobs switched for some high quality amber top-hats
• Back cavity covers swapped for standard Gibson black ones
• Trussrod replaced with a plain one
