well... after much stagnation (and some distraction by the IB-1S) and still tinkering the 'Ricky, I have finaly made some good progress with the Mossie ...
The two holdups were, How to finish the body... Solved now... plain gloss black ! no fancy designs here !
the second issue was, I decided to swap out the stock HB and SC pickups to 2 x HB... (Tonerider Rocksongs)
This in turn meant I needed to make a new scratch plate.
After destroying the first two attempts I decided to let things rest a while, and put energy elsewhere.
last weekend I had a good jolt and my 3rd scratch plate attempt came out OK...
I'm now up to cutting the rectangular holes for for the new pickups.
Also buffed and polished the body, and fitted the bridge and saddle posts, and neck along with the new Diadario locking + auto trimming tuners.
Feels like I'm nearly there !
OMG - I love my new buffer !
Yes.. those are my feet !
Oh...AND I even remembered the earth wire this time !!!
