This is a bit of a challenge.
The Wudtone, should it get onto the double binding is somewhat difficult to remove.

I'm going to try a spirit of some kind and I'll let you know....

This is it done.

Veneered headstock. Purple with slight fleck and gold hardware.

Yes I did. Good old Ebay
I prefer better quality pickups and I do like gold hardware. Just a personal thing.

The 335 style I am now building also has gold hardware.

Pick ups are Epiphone's a la LP model

I will do that in future. Not that good at electronic correspondence. I'ts an age thing !!

:)

Well here it is. Done.

335 style going well as number 4.....more later

Hi

The back of my build has now had three coats of Columbian Gold and then three coats of Burning Sun base coat. Thought I would experiment. Hope you can see the effect of the two combined. In...

Thanks for all your comments.
I have now moved to base coats on the top and agree that too much sanding will actually go through the flame cap. Luckily mine is ok. I did find a lot of "razor thin "...

Gavin mentioned the truss rod on these great kit guitars. My advice from amateurville house here in Balmain is : Leave the bl ** dy thing alone unless you are a luthier. Once the first stress is...

Hi
Put the strings on last night, tuned it and set the intonation and string play height etc. Wow ! this will be good through my VOX me thinks.
Hint to all new builders. Spend as much time as you...

Hi again,
Well the body is now done and I am about to wire the guitar up and set it up.
Scratch plate with veneer was ruined in a sort of " over heating " accident in the wall oven so I've ordered...

Hi.
Good old Granny. What a nice thought from you.
I'm not a guitar maker or repairer but I have a mate who used to have a workshop behind Sydney Set Up and the old Jackson's Rare Guitars ( JRG now...

Yes the headstock would look better shaped but I do not have the tools to do this. Next time I will get Dingo B to do it for me prior to sending the kit.

Cheers

The headstock is done and the copper shielding is done.

Body finish has now been left alone for two weeks and will be the next part to be finished finally.

Tuners are black with gold. Name is...

keep in touch and mend well chum.

HI
I'm happy to contribute to your next build if it helps you get your mind straight............say $40.00 ?
If it's not a money worry you have then keep level and one day at a time chum.

Love that one. Beautiful job. I am thinking that is my next kit choice. Probably try a red finish but yours has now confused me. Great work.
