My First Build the GR-1SF

[ShazzRandom]

Ah rightio, I didn't see that LP you posted, lol, good colour choice though, what about getting gold hardware to go with the purple?, would look awesome.

I'm not a fan of gold :/ thinking black and chrome again. Black will give it that mean punk look I love

Shaz good to see your nearly done.

As for starting a new build? i have probably 10 on the go, waiting for parts for one leads me to work on one of the others

The cardboard pickguard template in my avatar is all there is (other than the pickups) of a 12 string telecaster i am building, just to give you an idea that it never stops, no matter how little gets done.

A 12 string Tele... That's different! Do you have diaries for them all?
My only stoppage is money haha gotta adult first

Yes a very different 12 string tele as well, lots of tricky wiring and drilling and routing, i may just buy a body blank and do it myself.

Yes i always keep diaries of my guitars, and even pickups i wind, and when i get time i put them on the net, either my FB diary or here.

I will probably start my blog site after i get home from hols end of April.

So... She's together and staying strong, woo!!But... I have this rattle coming from a piece of hardware and not sure at all what it is!!
I do have a feeling it's the "bigsby" ahhhhh

[dingobass]

haha gotta adult first

..........Why?

[tonyw]

Sometimes you just need to go over every screw and nut on your guitar.

Hey Shazz you should be able to work out where the rattle is coming from. Is the spring or mountings of the Bigsby loose ? This is the stock bridge isn't it ?
