Seasons end
Getting some 54 strat clones built and a set of Quarterpounders (because of the .25" A5s)
Getting the control plate and pickguard fitted.
I am using stainless steel flat heads instead of philips because I want a vintage look.
I know I said I don't do repairs but I got this classical Breedlove for pennies. It had a huge crack in the top and several loose braces.
Couldn't find a baloon so I used a nitrile glove as a clamp for loose braces after working some glue under the braces.
Watching the clear dry on this one. I am going to scuff the surface tomorrow to help speed the process
Control plate for the Red Witch.
Time to assemble the Blackguard.
I have not found any lightweight .25" shaft knobs for it yet. I have got to have some somewhere...
The "tone bar" style string retainer was the last piece to cut out on the CNC. I am going to make the string cups smaller on the later models. Originally I was still going to use string ferrels but there is no point.
