WoW Scot, that guy did a real serious build, and with superb crafting skills. That Gretsch is beautiful, I understand why you went for the Gretsch orange. It is gorgeous.
If ours come out half as good they will still be stunning. :)

I may have forgotten to mention, the pickups I am using are split coils with around 4.5-4.7K Ohm per coil. I do have a set of Seymour Duncan TS-1 trembuckers
:D PK
couple of headstock shots. and missing chunks of Veneer. and a divot.
PK
and one more, if you can work it out.
Are the holes not aligned or the hs out of whack?
Hi Andrew,
all of the above. as to which set of holes are wrong is subjective. I am going to do the repair based on the high E set of strings, I will plug and drill the low E set. In other words teh High E's won't move they are my refernece point.
The headstock will need 1mm taken off the low E side, and some adjustment at the top left, and bottom right to get it back into symetry.
I expect many hours of teeth nashing, swearing and sweating, not to mention the odd angry beer being consumed. It is going to take a lot of careful work.
Cheers PK
You've got this mate.
Tks Andrew.
A question to the builders almighty.
What is the prefered method of earthing a floating bridge.
Do I drill a tiny hole through the bottom of the timber bridge plate and earth to the bottom of the bridge pin.
OR
Do I drill a small hole through the tailpiece mount/screw hole and earth to the tail piece.
Cheers PK
Tailpiece.
Tks Scott.
that's probably easier than some of the thoughts I had :D
ie things such as conductive paint patches etc.... :)
Cheers PK
