thanks matt, but i was hoping to have it finished by monday, but no joy.
the finish is complete, ive spent the last month sanding/spraying/sanding/spraying....
only to be going round in circles, all i was getting was bubbles and pitting. there seemed no way to avoid it. its not great... but it'll just have to do.
the electronics will be fitted this sunday, knowing this project, something will go wrong.
today i was putting in the machine heads onto the neck.... disaster... the cheapo machine heads have two fitting screws and sit VERY flush together, the point where the 3rd and 4th pegs sit in the middle of the headstock doesnt work. there too close.
i'll either have to re-drill the holes (no chance)
file down the machine heads (thats crazy)
buy smaller heads (most likely)
scrap the neck (are you mental?)
or find some way to place the 3rd and 4th... squint, so they fit in (laughable)
it'll be a rediculous bodge, i dunno what to do, back to ebay i suppose....
