Mike you must be a musician...with great timing LOL.
I just finished uploading some shots.
Well...should I repeat myself? Ok...it's my first paint job LOL...and it shows.
Also my first binding and it shows but I'm very pleased with how that went.
The guitar plays fantastic. The fret job...ace but man the guitar sounds like...really horrible LOL.
I wound the pups but I don't believe they're the root cause...I can't raise the bridge pup high enough
to even use it! It was originally a single pup guitar and I know why. I'm not going to change the neck pocket angle to fix it's problems either- it is what it is.
I have yet to adjust the nut and glue it but it's no biggy....just don't want it falling off if the strings ever rust off.
Very expensive job but since it's my first electric....well I have to have some excuse for the job....
I did find a place in Shreveport that re-chromed the tailpiece. The age still shows but they did a great job for about 35 dollars (including shipping).
I wish I could have redone the binding on the neck too- for the experience- but I couldn't figure out how to. It's not black paint you may notice on it...it's the white is wore down and the black binding is showing. Oh well....on the wall it'll go and I'll start thinking about my next project.
It was fun and hope ya'll got something out of it too!
