    Andy40's "The Robster" LP-1SS

    Hi Guys, I've been commissioned by a good mate of mine "Rob" to build a Spalty LP Kit for him at cost.

    Let me say he scored big time with the cap on this one!

    Two things that need my attention..

    The crack...Click image for larger version.  Name: IMG_20170816_140927.jpg  Views: 177  Size: 118.1 KB  ID: 21999

    and for some reason there is no spalted cap on the headstock.

    So what are the Plans man...
    • Grain pop with ebony timbermate
    • DT Coolangatta Gold
    • All black Hardware
    • headstock veneer from my marquetry pack
    • Grover mini rotomatics
    • cut a bone nut from a blank
    • all electrics will be upgraded
    • and
    • Andy's special hand wound pick ups!

    Triple cool man

    Hi Andy, how is the PUP winding happening? Haven't seen any progress on your wife's build for quite a while either and wondering how things are coming along for her too.

    Your mate is a lucky fella as not sure if these can be bought any more.

    Cheers Waz

    I read it as lobster as well, and wondered why it wasn't going to be red. Or that greeny-black colour that uncooked lobsters are.
