Poor unsuspecting guitar about to get 'Trans-Axed'!

Coincidentally, the distance between Volume & Tone control knobs just happens to be identical to the Vax 300 Volume & Selector controls!

This guitar features a gorgeous flamed front & excellent finish with no bleeding around the binding. The frets are well mounted & jumbo sized, which i love! Ok, so out of the box they were a little rough, but I have dressed & polished them & the neck feels like a million dollars now! What hope is there for the West when you get stuff like this coming out Asia?

Holes for controls drilled. These include the Vax tone control & selector switch slot as well as Volume & Tone controls for pickups. Later I added coil taps & switch to toggle between Vax & Pups.

This is a big jump from the previous pic, but I can assure everyone alot of planning went into the control layout......its just i was so fired up, I didnt stop to take any pics!

Rear cavity routed to receive Vax 300 electrics.

This is kinda tricky cos the closer you get to the edge, the thinner the wood gets!

Cut down Vax circuit board superglued to string block. Notice copper foil earthing.
