Robbo's MB-1 build

[Rockfactor]

TL-1TB was my first choice and will probably be what I end up getting. I think it would look sweet with a black stain and maybe something like this with a sweet old school hotrod print

I'm second guessing because I have a Telecaster already, though it is a MIM one I use as my backup for gigs.

We shall see.

Once I fix up the nut on the MB-1 build and touch up a couple of things I'll post some pics, then, I'll swap out the pups for the two black ones without covers I have, see how that looks. Pablopepper was kind enough to donate a neck one to go with the Seymour Duncan Custom Custom I already have

I've printed onto grease proof paper with a laser printer then ironed the image onto timer with good effect as well.

Just ordered the TL-1TB, now we wait...

Taking this little birdy out to two gigs this weekend so shouted her a nest.





It doesn't fit so well so I will either grab some foam to pad the spare space out a bit or, if I'm feeling adventurous, remove the cover and felt stuff and trim it to size.

We shall see.

edit: need to reinstall the TRC. Took it off to replace the nut...

After using for two gigs a few things I noticed. I really like playing this guitar. I hope to post video in a week or so.

The edges of the frets are sharp. Not noticeable until a couple of hours into a gig. I will dress the ends during the week.

The guitar defaults to a headstock down position with the guitar straps where they are. I need to move the strap to a more neutral position.

All in all, well happy...

Robbo.
