NGD - sort of - my V refin now ready.

So this has an 80's Yamaha neck, customized and partially scalloped, with stainless medium jumbo frets, and a Tusq nut, Schaller roller bridge, Gibson 498t and 490r (parallel wired) pickups. The body is reshaped and customized to take a 24-fret neck, that's from some cheap V copy. I made the plastics and the neck plate DIY.
Finally am happy with it - the only thing that bugs me a bit there's really no room to adjust intonation any further, should it be needed. It's JUST enough, but no more room bugs me.
So maybe some day when I'll give it a good clean and new strings etc. I'll detach the neck, plug the holes and drill new ones like 3mm closer to the butt end, so that there will be a few mm more for bridge adjustment.
