Sol 1..... sorry. Not mark watney am I.... erm build day 1 or it maybe 3 really. Anyway back in the office and I’ve managed to at least get the kit out and in a build place to do the dry build.
Yeah. I know I should wait to let the wood settle but I thought I’d do a scale measure now and again in a couple of weeks once it’s all settled.
I also confirmed a suspicion I had about my pickups. Before the kit arrived even I’d purchased a pair of tv Jones megatrons (nice) I knew they might be a little different in shape to the standard pickups. Yep. They are wider in length and narrower in width (eh? Did that make sense) anyway. They have gaps. I’ve already put an order in for some gold gretsch pickup surrounds. (Like hens teeth in the uk) and I’m hoping they will be the right size for the jones. If so. Winner. If not. I might just make my own. I have access to a cnc machine (shame it’s not a lazer cutter) and plastic. I’m assuming that as long as they don’t touch the body of the guitar these will be fine?
Going to measure the scale
Length now.
I’ve also decided to keep a music diary of what I’m listening to whilst building.
It’s 7am or so whilst I was building on a Monday morning. So time to go to a recent but regularly played album by me. : beck : morning phase. A beautiful album and deep in songs and production. It’s one of becks “mellow” albums and a perfect chill out album or a Monday morning album. Sounds fantastic on vinyl and headphones. Beautiful vocal productions.
