WezV Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think I am getting a bad name for myself First there was this: constructed from various steinberger/hohner/moses parts Then more recently i took on this conversion twas an old hohner, now a scaled down v that is just about to go off for a schenker style paint job Now i have been sent this for an assembly job it will be getting an old neck with a new fretboard as someone has done a bad scallop job on the existing one. It will get a richlite fretboard with stainless steel frets. clear cavity covers, locking jack socket etc. Should be 3 very striking (not necessarily tasteful) mini V's when all is said and done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Wez, you know ,work is work. I have no dought you will do a first rate job on this.You need to find a better group of wankers with guitars in need of repair. Hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think you must live in the Steinberger capital of the world..in 22 years of playing guitars I have only seen one in person...and I ordered it through MF... I sent it back the same day.Sounded and felt like a broom with strings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 well i quite like them, but i tend not to use the stock pickups. this new one is a korina body under the paint so should be a bit different too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 first step done, wasn't sure how this was going to work with the scallops but it was no more difficult. last few times i have done this i have left the frets in and it seems to make the process a bit quicker???

maull Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I would bet that the frets are aiding in the heat transfer. Looks like it came off easy and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
