Very nice!

Nice work, spacey.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us, threads like yours inspire me to jump in and do things myself, when I might be a bit hesitant for fear of screwing something up.

"I didn't time it but it seems like I have at 24 hours in it."

If by that you mean 24 hours for everything, then you don't mess around :-) I'd take me days and days.

So what's next ?

I have a Heritage 535 that needs some tweaking and I'm looking forward to getting some spare time this summer to get around to it. I polished the frets and made/installed a bone nut and a new bridge but I still don't like the action.

"I have a Heritage 535"


What color?


:-)

Mike : "What color? "

'Kenny Burrell' blue.

I'm not sure I'd pick that colour again (it's really nice but it kind of clashes with everything).

At the time I bought it, Kenny Burrell, Heritage and sky blue were kind of synonymous to me.

Of course I'll never play like him...

Thanks Mike and Paul.

Paul-"I didn't time it but it seems like I have at 24 hours in it."  - is a good example of my proof reading and writing skills.  "right at 24" I'm sure was my intention.

It was an estimate of actual working time. The photos from start to finish of this thread have "project" time.

I work on many things at the same time and no reason to track time. 

I mentioned the time because I just recently read at a Strat forum what a refret job may cost -which was 250-300 hundred dollars. I don't know.

Refretting the 535 would be a project I'd like to see. A bound fretboard is something I have
yet to do. I hope you post if you refret it.

"What next?"...well I'm suppose to be building a Tele style for a friend but I have questions and haven't seen him. I think he's going to be disappointed that nothing has been done but I'm not the one sleeping...also haven't received the birdseye maple that I expected to have by now. So....that's a good question Paul. I don't know so I'll just pick on that '57 until I do.
