El Dangerouso Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Good idea. My only worry is that they went in TIGHT. I don't want to jack up the finish by pulling 'em out. I may give it a shot, and if I get weak-kneed you can't blame me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiko Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hey, it looks great! But I too don't really like how the binding ends. Also is the mid pickup ring touching the bridge? Or is it the camera angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dangerouso Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 In fact, the middle pickup ring is UNDER the Bridge pickup ring, totally intentional. I never really wanted the middle pickup to be "middle pickup" sounding. I wanted to get it as close to the bridge as possible. There is only a wafer-thin piece of wood separating (seperating?) the two cavities. That was also the reason I angled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 This may or may not surprise you, but I'm totally with you on the binding. I had no choice with the tummy cut, that was driven by a tool limitation, but I wish I would have taken the horn binding farther too. That's why there's always a next time. I was just thinking. The limitations of the tool... What if you used the dremel to extend the rabbet for the binding. You were able to recess the chrome plates for the single coils with it. I wonder if you could have done the same thing for the binding. I know it's too late to worry about now, but I kept thinking, "what would I do if this happened to me?" Like you said, next time.

darren wilson Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Or just use a nice sharp chisel and a steady hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
