JGTay Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Have managed to get the side dots done, also the fretboard is oiled and cleaned up. Will need a polish up once the paint job is done, but very happy with how it is looking. Ready for Dan to test on Sunday, if he is happy I can take off the parts and he can take it away with him for the finishing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGTay Posted May 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Dan hadn't been for a visit as I have been out of action for the past couple of weeks with covid, finally got negative tests the past couple of days. So today he came round to test it out, he is really pleased with it, loves the neck shape and is very happy with everything. I have removed all the hardware and he has taken it home to get started on the prep work for the paint job. He will be sending through progress pics and keeping me updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGTay Posted May 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 A few updates sent through from Dan. Colour coat done. And then the clear coats with buff and polish. Will get it all setup when he drops it off. Looking forward to seeing it in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 The first picture looked quite dull but the clearcoat and buffing made a big difference, re-revealing the subtle differences between the woods. For some odd reason the first word that popped into my mind when I saw the buffed version was Leprechaun! Does that tell about some fairy magic?

JAK Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 The colour made me think “surf shop” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGTay Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Dan dropped the guitar off last week and I set to work on getting it finished this weekend. Gave it a good polish before getting started. Copper shielding done. Then moved onto the electrics. Everything tightened up and pickups screwed in place. Put the tuners and strap locks on, then took some glamour shots. No strings yet, Dan is bringing them next week when he comes to collect it. Looking forward to getting it strung up next week and getting Dan to test it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGTay Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Dan still has the truss rod cover, must remember to tell him to bring it along next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGTay Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Dan dropped off the strings and cover earlier. All strung up and truss rod cover in place, he decided to do the cover black, but said he may do it the same colour as the guitar at a later date. Just waiting for Dan to come back from his in-laws and test it out. Still need to cut the excess strings off. Was losing the light for the pic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGTay Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 And it has gone. Dan is heading home with it, a big smile on his face. He is very happy and will send me some recordings next week, once he has finished his thesis and has time to have a good play around with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
