Feels great, I still have to get the nut lower, and do a full setup, but it feels really good. The guitar balances out really well, I was a bit worried with double the number of tuners, but there really are no neck dive issues.

I'm glad it plays well so far. Those F tuners are very light.

More pics please...

unfortunately on night shift, which means i basically can't touch it for 14 days :(

if it is slow at work, I will try to bring it in to get clips. the nut is 1-2mm too tall, but I couldn't get it perfect before leaving the shop, so I will have to live with it until I finish this shift.

Coffee break on night shift, similar rig to last one but supermoon Chrome instead of expandora, and tele xii (with mile high action) instead of the isakkaster
