At the end of March we took the neck over to Grandpas to use Great Grandpas drill press to sink 4 new holes that we templated up.

Once the drilling was complete, we then ferreted around for some old stain so we could add some colour to the anemic neck.

Lastly we cut and shaped the headstock after finding a suitable shape on the interwebs (it may or may not look similar to a Bill Crook headstock) and making a template with some of the cardboard from the box that the guitar came in.

Here is the neck with the new bass nut.


Now, where did that body go?.....

How do you intend finishing the body? If you're thinking of a solid colour, I'd recommend using the same colour on the front face of the headstock to hide the dowel ends.

The body will be a very fetching shade of O.M.F.G. its PINK! Now, to those of us who are not 8 y.o girls, we might think that having the headstock the same colour as the body makes sense to help hide any possible imperfections.....but we are wrong.
