    Dedman's MKA-2

    started today...sanded, initial coat of primer on.

    I'm calling it a Danrite or a Mos-electro at this point.

    After doing a basswood strat I found it just too easy to put a dent in it, even with a fingernail.
    There is a Les Trem, a roller bridge (had to fill the post holes and redrill smaller because I ordered the wrong one LOL), a single and a double lipstick pick up and a set of Grover tuners. Pabs will be getting a call about the pick guard (another clear one with art on the back) when I have financially recovered from buying my new amp.

    fair enough Deddy can't disagree with that reasoning. You would have had to grain fill the ash ?

    nice hardware upgrades. Good to see more cricket bats (as DB calls them haha) being built

    what colour will it be white ?

    yea Wokka, did a fill with diluted timbermate, still some grain showing but that coat of primer is pretty thin so it would soak in and seal it up for future coats. Next thicker coats will fill that.

    Colour...I can't tell you.......... but not white or black

    I'm wondering if this could be the one....the build I had hoped, nay I had prayed would never ever happen.

    A Dedman build that I won't love to bits. An MK. <sighs and shudders, reaches for the whiskey (glug, glug)>

    Say it Ain't so Dedman.....
