Hey guys,
Following an incident where my guitars were attacked.. I decided that I would do some work on my KV-4.
I decided a repaint was in order along with filling the neck pickup route.
I'll post a few pictures to show the progress... although I don't have many at the moment.
After a lot of upping and downing over finishes... ive gone for a simple white finish, hot pink was a favourite for a while. Attachments:

The tone control and switch holes have been filled along with the neck route, although I do not have pictures of that at the moment.
Next up Ben (my friend who is doing the painting) is doing the primer layer(s)... which should start today.

That's coming along nicely. The only problem now is the hardware needs to be black to have a bit of contrast.

Yeah, I was thinking about the hardware.. ill put the silver stuff back in to begin with, but I will consider blacking it up... Vanson tuners maybe... its the trem that will be the pricey bit

You can get decent trems fairly cheap now.
And if you are going to block it off like before you may as well get something cheap and cheerful and bung a big steel block on it.

Still going with a single 81? Or are you gonna splash out a whopping £20 on a HDN?
