hi guys,
Finally got moving on this RC-4 build, after kicking it around for the best part of 12 months. I've decided to Pollock it, as that was my initial vision and I just can't help myself. I've got a 335 kit here too that might just get the same treatment. Anyway I received a new "heavy" Chinese bass bridge in the mail this week and just had to get the mock build completed. I measured the bass placement off my JB-1 with no issues. The kit/tuners are a little crappy in that no matter which way I place them there is a little bit sticking out into the headstock cutaway! Hmm same crap as with my 335 bass build. Anyway, looks like I'll have to grind a little off the corner of a tuner plate. I could dowel and re-drill, but I'm not sure I care that much.
I'm thinking that this time around I might do a stained body+neck with the white Pollocked top. Last time I did a complete Pollock all over the RC-1. Hmm I'm not sure. The Top of the RC-4 does not have too much area once the pickguard goes on. Might be too little Pollock to make a statement.
What do you guys reckon?
cheers,
