Ready for paint...

Strung it up, made a nut, tuned it up... man it was bad. But after putting the correct radius in the bridge saddles and adjusting the nut a little I could feel some potential. The back bow in the neck I saw earlier in the week was gone with a set of .0011s on it. Neck turned out to be dead straight at pitch with no trussrod adjustment. I think the neck moved a little between the fret job and final shaping. I have some tweaking and polishing to do on the frets but we are ready for paint.

BTW 1 7/8" at the nut is huge... wide and flat (16 in radius).
Turned out much lighter than my RG550. I know it doesn't have pickups in it yet, but the difference is substantial.
