Body arrived... Spent a while just holding it, turning it over in my hands, although you can see all the fillings, its so smooth, thanks to the Oil Slurry Finish. I gave it a quick rub over with some Warwick Wax
Pickups in, I went with the Maida Vale Alnico IV Low Rider, these are wired Black Hot, Red & Screen Gnd, Join Green and White for Series (4 Wire Pickup)... Earth Wire and Bridge on... Aretec QTP Tone Selector Sw in... Vol Pot Wire Prepped and In.. Wired up used sleeved Tinned Copper Wire from Vol to Tone... Jack wired up.
[Is that bit of wire Orange, Red or Brown?
Yep... I'm Red/Green Colour Blind, Ex-MoD Electronics Eng!..]
Neck on, Flatwound Strings On... gonna leave it a bit to accustom then a bit of Truss Rod, Saddle and Intonation...
Probably the only Ibanez SR with a touch of neck dive! Now 2.65kg (5.8lb) - yep i checked it 3 times on the luggage scales
Fingers crossed it sounds as sweet 'n smooth as it looks.
Thanks again to @Andyjr1515 and the companies that supported my build - I'm chuffed... 😊
