Last week I finished my first build. I got the body and neck from an Amazon return auction site. It was a kit and really junky components, so I put those aside. I did most of the shopping on StewMac. Overwound humbuckers in black w/no cover 500k volume and neck pickup pots Pot for the bridge pickup is a DTDP push pull pot so i can take it out of phase Black knobs I routed everything through one volume knob so I could put a kill switch in. Kill switch has a purple LED when plugged in Pure Tone stereo jack. I don't run stereo, but needed it so I didn't need a switch for the kill switch LED Black locking tuners Put in black bridge and tailpiece I used copper tape in the cavity to reduce interference. Stained it purple with a little sunburst effect. Finished with nitrocellulose lacquer in gloss. Sounds better than I could have ever hoped.
