Every metal part in the kit is gold: the six sealed tuners, the bridge plate and its six saddles, the control plate and both knobs, the neck pickup cover, the output jack plate, the strap buttons and the screws. An ivory binding strip runs along both edges of the maple fretboard, set off by black dot inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple neck bolts on with four screws and carries 22 frets, black dot inlays, black side dots and a pointed 6-in-line headstock with a pre-slotted nut. Two single-coil pickups (a gold-covered neck pickup and a bridge pickup set in the gold bridge plate) run through 1 volume, 1 tone and a 3-way blade switch on the gold control plate. The body is plain wood with no veneer and no body binding, so it takes paint, stain or a clear finish directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-top: 14px;
