D
A bit rough but sounds great
The pickups in this sound great and they were the 1 thing I thought I might change but I don't need to. Overall the guitar looks great, however.....
The tone pots have been wired left handed with left handed knobs but they are logarithmic potentiometers meaning that wired backwards they are now reverse log and the tone is more like an on/off switch around 1. The bridge radius doesn't quite match the fretboard radius so the action of the D and A string are too low when the rest are set correctly. The low E saddle screw head was completely stripped making it impossible to adjust. The bridge pickup ring contour doesn't match the archtop contour leaving a gap. The frets were very scratchy and needed polishing and the fretboard itself is very rough to the extent that the pearloid inlays look like matte white plastic.
I will be able to make this play and feel brilliant but it's going to take more work than I expected
