It was pretty much adjusting the pickups, the bridge is the same in both clips. Plus the Vox Night Train is pretty boss too!

Lovely, Billy!

Who did the fine looking checker binding and amazing BB refinish?

Please tell us the story behind the TRC and the gap between the nut and TRC. Curiosity seduces the cat... :mrgreen:

Yep the .0047 is there. I just threw whatever Chris from POTR's had laying around on there. I've got a Proper Cover on there now, tho.

The refin was done by Curt Wilson. He is a member here and and a fine craftsman. The headstock CB goes right to the nut and stops. I just assumed that's the way it was supposed to be :D

I love this Axe!!
