TL-1R The King's 3rd Pitbull build

Thanks Whiz. It was an interesting journey.
I'm kind of glad it reached a happy end though.
Good luck with your own project (however it looks like you are doing well)

cheers, Mark.

Well once again I spoke too soon.
Presently converting 3 builds to 7.25" radius fretboards.

I carefully removed the frets and using the radius block bent them to approximate curvature for replacement.

cheers, Mark.

So the saga continues.

After my 2nd Trem-King experiment installing one on my DMS-1...
I have now put a Trem-King TK-2 on order.

Let's see how long Australia Post can stretch this one out.

cheers, Mark.

No doubts due to Covid19 the wait for this to arrive took ages.
However. Anticipating it's imminent arrival, (and a veteran at Trem-King installs) I started the the top rout...minus router.

A loose nut with a rotary tool.

I have radiused and re-shaped the 'engineered' rosewood neck in the previous shots.
Slathered it with sanding sealer and smoothed it out and gradually re-fretted.
All it needs is the new decal applied and it will ready to go.

cheers, Mark.

Highlight to the level of OCD (re-shaping the headstock)

As long as it makes you happy, that's what counts!

I do like v2.0 though. (I'm not just enabling you btw :o)
