oh well here we go again...

some of you may have seen the recent “water damage” and neck pocket “fuckedupedness” that occurred to my ‘61 replica recently...

everything bar the pots,switch and body were ok!... phew...

so another body was ordered from our favourite cnc house... And arrived yesterday morning..



This mornings job was to nip over to @customkits splendid workshop and route out the neck pocket to the correct depth...

whats that? 6 bodies now that needed sorting?...

anyhoo....

a few coats of primer, and a few coats of daphne from @SteveRobinson (tis the best shade of blue) and we are almost ready to gig it!...




More updates when they happen, including the all important “how to waterproof your favourite guitar”...

peace out...

poopot!

    Ok... as an extra... whilst I was at @customkits getting the neck pocket sorted i also took the opportunity to let mr kits darken my slab board for me...

    before:



    And after:



    Now I’ve been sworn to secrecy as to how it was done... in fact I was blindfolded, spun round three times and lead to a dark room whilst the process took place... but... I deffo heard pixies laughing and the word abracadabra mentioned... there was a loud bang, a witches cackle and hey presto... darkened rosewood board!!!!
