These are coming along nicely. That tall binding really means business Lol, thankfully someone likes it! For me it's just a reminder of a bodge job.

nakedzen Posted September 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Final hardware look, had to test for any surprises. Binding scraped! Card scrapers really changed my life, I can't use a razor without scratching the top no matter how slowly I work. Redid the stain on the back, had some pretty bad scratches on it. Installed the frets on the neck. Top had some nice 3D figure on it now. Edited September 5, 2021 by nakedzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Very cool! That radius sanding block looks very short. How did you get along with that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for more of a compound 10"-14" radius so for that it worked OK. I wouldn't use it for single radius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Ah, cool! Well that seems a more useful end for them and I totally agree about a single radius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I should really do a deep dive into my Helix patches and tweak them with headphones for doing demos. I doubt that they'd sound the same recorded as they do on these desk monitors. My go-to's have ended up being the Friedman (H)BE and Revv Purple. My Rectumfryer patches just haven't set me alight yet. That might be one to spend time with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
