I actually am serious about the wearing low,
... since I did the MK-2, I find its most comfortable worn low. But that means I gotta have legs out. And I was already a downpicker (funny story there), so thats not helping. Good thing I didnt do it in white!
Don't forget the H's are silent.Quote:

Just checked them out on Google and was unaware all original members are no longer with us yet their music and image will live on forever.
well, despite this young lady's insistence, this Mossy will be very un-Ramones :P

looking good the red paint Deddy. So is it a magpie put his foot on the headstock was there much damage to the clear coat ?
na, I hadn't started yet, she was holding the decal down LOL
ah ok Deddy well that's good news there was no damage ! You got the birds well trained !
Ooh, lipstick humbucker! Very cool, Deddy.
That headstock is doing my head in! I wish it would make up it's mind, does it want to be a Strat/Tele style neck, or an LP??!!
Having said that, the red paint job is looking fantastic Dedman!
the Bart Simpson hair cut it has was a bugger to mask evenly too.. Did you also notice the tuner holes are offset?Quote:

nope , hasn't been forgotten! have been waiting on bits.
Pick guard is a Pab's clear kustom jobbie with a reverse applied decal on the back. I love what you can achieve with this, he's doing one for my Bass VI now.
pick guard is on, wired, she sings. Impressed with the lip sticks, altho the bucker is a bit thin when split on the whole they sound great for surf. Totally sold on the Duesenburg trem, going to get one for my LP when I can afford it. It bends in either direction and no fiddling about setting it up, returns to tune so far. Will let this sit for a week, re-string it (it has some fret buzz on low E and a tiny bit on A) and will do more photo's then.
in the mean time "SURF'S UP ! last one in is a rotten ...body"

(yea the dude in the middle is playing a Mosrite)
Nice!
I find there's something a bit 'not quite right' looking about the trem despite its great engineering; though it does add a real '50s/'60s vibe to the guitar.
If the lip'bucker is too thin when split you could try running both coils in parallel rather than splitting them or maybe the half-out-of-phase variant with a cross-linked cap (Entwistle version).
Btw, it looks great.
Simon, I hear you, I think its the brace running to the centre, we are used to seeing it off to the bottom side, no doubt its positioning aids the even tension, but it does look a little strange, but what the hell, its a Mosrite with lipsticks, it IS a bit strange!
Thanks Weirdy,could I be bothered re-wiring?...probaby not LOL :P
Awesome looking axe there Dedman ... and I love the matching knobs and extra art on the guard...
I think the trem looks good, now if they did it in black.....
love the artwork on the pick guard , until i expanded the view, i thought it might be blood stains from workin the fingers to the bone.
think i need new glasses too...lol
Nice touches Deddy, looks very 50's - 60's retro done in that colour scheme. Love the cartoons too.
Another epic from the Dedman studio! Great job mate, very impressive.Quote:

my top hat is at the cleaners, sorry Simon
24 hour cleaners? We can wait...
(Look, there must be a photo studio with green screen capabilities not too far from you)
the sight of me in board shorts would contravene the sites PG rating :eek:
A beauty Dedman

awesome looking cricket bat Deddy, love the theme, colour and mods. Does the jack lead interfere with the tremelo arm ?
Which shop did you get the trem from - can you please post a link ? Keen to check it out
and she is finished, did the intonation, fresh set of 9's on it, gave the fret board another coat of Ren Wax after a bit of a fret polish

I seem to be hearing 'Wipeout' all of a sudden.
