Is the BexGears Guitar Kit project finally "done"?

In today’s episode of Ted Talks Guitars and Life, we are reaching the finish line of our BexGears DIY guitar kit journey! After a series of "wins and grins" (and a few defeats), it’s time for the final modest upgrade and a complete setup using the T.R.A.I.N. methodology. We’re swapping out the control plate for a sleek black-on-black look, debating over the perfect knobs, and walking through every step of a solid setup—from truss rod relief to filing the nut for those new 10-gauge strings.
